The World Cup 2022 Thread

[harrybarracuda]

Can't say I agree with them all, but Southgate watches more of them than I do.

The England 2022 World Cup squad will be named in around 12 months' time; today, Gareth Southgate takes a step closer to that final 23, with his last qualification group before the Euros.

Christ, they're squeezing in Euro 2022.

Lemme guess, in the summer, in Qatar.

The Netherlands squad is arguably one of the best in the world and has a huge chance of winning the World Cup in Qatar

The Netherlands’ potential squad for World Cup 2022

Just straight off the bat England has no world class keeper . . . and that's a problem.

[Switch]

lol. It’s not cricket PH.

Ramsdale will be just fine.

No and no. England have a better chance of winning it and that's a 'no' as well.

As the first team to qualify after host Qatar, Germany could gel at the right time . . . the Euros were a team in transition and a few changes are necessary as well.

ter Stegen and Neuer still among the best in the world . . . Leno isn't a bad third



Defence is solid . . . just need to mesh. You can't go past Ginter, Gosens, Kehrer, Rüdiger and Sühle as choices for a very good back four. Skill, speed and toughness.



Spoiled for riches in Midfield . . . Goretzka, Havertz, still believe in Kroos and his sublime skills, Kimmich and Neuhaus . . . could be worse by a country mile.



Some good strikers but this is where we need to add some grit and class . . . Werner is better than he has shown himself to be in the EPL, Sané can be a cracker and Gnabri can do the job . . . but Müller is needed to be the little engine that can . . .

Where Germany is lacking is a type of player like Schweinsteiger who just works his heart out and more, puts his body on the line and doesn't give up. This is where Müller needs to step up, but being a striker doesn't help . . . he's more of a Midfielder imo.


Should be fun. I'm not sure about Brazil and Argentina but aside from Germany, who need to become a Mannschaft, Spain and Italy look the goods.

Pscchht while not kosher internally Mr Patrick Powers "weights' hs opnions tp "balance the books"

When was young you just tufed up at e sole dairy garage ne pump bar and informal bookies.I believe Terf has an utterly sapphic preference these days.
Anyway as my tenner on Ireland at long odds long gone a punt on Engand or Germany seems value ths far out of course injuries red cards and fajr dawn prayer breaks blasting the teams up for the dawn yelp down the Corniche Tannoy all thee way.Any canny manager will anchor the squad on a yacht of Dukhann refinery or where I used to sail up at AlKhor, al resorts now heard, in toy boats inthe days when pilots and hostesses would join us bankers n wankers for "special lemonade and wiggle in the Dunes, away from the wahids!

England 4 up in 30 minutes, Kane on for his hatric!
Its coming home

[malmomike77]

^ they are playing Albania who's players were up all night driving stolen cars into shipping containers

[Joe 90]

That and people trafficking

Kane gets his hatric

[malmomike77]

Bellingham on FFS, stick Smith_Rowe on who's been knocking them in for fun and linking up well - Bellingham, can't make it into a mediocre Merchandise side

[Joe 90]

He's on!
Hope he scores on his debut!

[malmomike77]

The Croydon De bruyne

[cyrille]

Bellingham, can't make it into a mediocre Merchandise side

That might be something to do with the fact that he plays for Borussia Dortmund.

[panama hat]

Is this going to be just as embarrassing as the 9-0 'victory' by Germany over Liechtenstein?


I really fail to see how this can do the game any good.

Because they disrespected the Last Post, I'm only disappointed it wasn't 10.

Fish on

Anyway, big game tonight. Can the jocks get one past Helge, who's only conceded one goal in qualies so far.

[helge]

Come on, Scotland

Give us a couple of goals

Scotland can use a win for the playoff seeding

[Joe 90]

You've cursed them now mate

England 1 up already , only playing 3 in defence.

[malmomike77]

It must be hard for San Marino, pre-match team talk - right lads i want you to go out there and keep it below 7

[Joe 90]

Another Kane Hatric!

5-0 now...

[hallelujah]

I was just thinking exactly the same about this game.

San Marino 0-6 England and we're not even at HT yet.

I suppose it's the taking part that counts etc...
