bobzy Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I heard the World Cup is going to involve every single country in a format that involves teams drawing their opponents out of a hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it's a shoe-in, but I don't understand why the USSF decided they needed to go this route. Not that I particularly care either way. 48 teams, LOL the World Cup is finished. What would happen with the Concacaf allocation for that world cup. I read the criteria last week for qualifying but quickly lost interest as I dislike immensely a 48 team world cup.

Zatman Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Its been said for few years but I think its true. For all Zlatan talent maybe he took up too much of the team and players are now standing up because Zlatan isnt bailing them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden wasted 7 years under Erik Hamrén, a total charlatan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) what a victory for Andorra as well, biggest upset in qualification history beating a team that made knockouts of Euro 2016. Andorra had 44 completed passes https://streamable.com/8sno9 Edited June 10, 2017 by Zatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden for years always just kept calling up the same players until they were about 37. Larsson was still playing in major tournaments until that age, Anders Svensson and Kim Kallstrom were also still be called up fairly recently. Great to see they've finally got fresh blood in there with likes of Lindelof, Durmaz and Forsberg. There's going to be some belting play offs isn't there? If Sweden win their last 4, France will be 2nd unless they have some landslide wins, one of Spain/Italy will be 2nd, Portugal will be 2nd if they don't beat Swiss last game and even some of the weaker teams in the play offs like Iceland, ROI/Wales and Norn Iron are very difficult teams to score against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt blaming Zlatan, but I think players got lazy and instead of playing there own game they would look for him to bail them out. players like Berg, Toivonen and Durmaz are now forced to take leadership and working out better for the team Durmaz has nearly 50 caps, he wouldnt be fresh blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Super 6 is actually an entertaining concept and more enjoyable than watching professional football. few ex-Villa players involved England were quite poor today and it was down to Gerrard as usual with his one man Roy of the Rovers style of football, great when it comes off but Rafa knew what he was doing keeping him away from middle of pitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no midfield, just defence versus attack all at close quarters. France versus Denmark final coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
