Italy were superior for almost every part of the game. Pirlo in the first half, Balotelli in the second half(MOTM). Hard to say anything based on these games but if that's Brazil? I don't see any chance of them doing something next year. But you never know, especially with their crowd in Brazil. Great match.
Green & Whelan in midfield, Brady on right. McClean playing now when he's not for Sunderland. I bet Sweden are shitting themselves.
It's a shame as out of the other home nations I've always had a major soft spot for Ireland. I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that Keith Andrews has been replaced by Paul Green. Seems like deciding whether to step out in front of a train or throw yourself on the track. Is James McCarthy injured/unavailable?
Nope. McCarthy is fit and well. Has been our best player in recent fixtures too, but I guess when you have such a technically gifted attacking juggernaut in Glen Whelan, you need a bit of security I suppose. An even bigger joke is Wes Hoolahan, having an outstanding season again without a look in. While McLean and Long suddenly get promoted when they’re not playing after being ignored when they were in form.
Think I'll need to see if I can get a stream for Croatia v Serbia this eveing. It will be the first time they've ever played against each other since becoming independent countries and there's obviously still a lot of tension in the area from the civil war that ripped the countries apart. On top of that, in Mihajlovic and Stimac, they have two managers who grew up together, but ended up despising each other. Mihajlovic has accused Stimac of wishing death upon his family when they played against each other back in 1991 ("I hope our guys kill your entire family in Borovo.") and has said that Stimac is the only person he's ever wanted to kill. While Stimac is quoted saying "My only regret is not being able to fight in the war. But if it breaks out again, rest assured I'll be on the frontline."
Plenty of quotes from both managers this week trying to calm things down, there'll be no away fans and the police have said they'll stop the game if there is any "nationalistic chanting".
Should be a hell of a watch whatever happens.
Edit: Oh yeah, and the poor ref who has to keep control of all this; Cuneyt Cakir the Turkish ref who sent off Nani the other week. Good luck with that.
All to be winning at HT. Gone for 6 5-Fold bets at £5 line. Returns £125 if they all win. If one team screws up I'll get close to £20 so I'll only be £10 down.
Some clowns's put £118 on San Marino to win @ 80/1.:lmao
Even if they legit had an outside chance, why bet so much? For £10 you win £800 and you can write that off, but £118? Seriously? Greedy & stupid! Is Liam Ridgewell wiping his arse with those notes again? Why £118 exactly too? Why not £115 or £120? Bizarre.
Got an 'Elevenfold' on for the World Cup Qualifiers, looking forward to the night of football, watching the Scotland game, and the scores generally, should/could be fun, .
