[Steady Eddie]

close personal friends, are you?  What else did jesus say?

 

He said with one whip of a Polish left foot....England would again, be embarrassed...... mean't to write that earlier

[redgriffin73]

Were the English fans singing have you ever seen Germany win a war there? 

They were indeed, such a charming bunch.

[Crosby Nick]

Surprised by the great reception Poldi got when he was subbed off considering he played for Bayern and Koln.

I can't imagine the crowd at Anfield would give this reception to a former United player even if he was ending his England career.

Not necessarily all Dortmund fans are they?  Beckham scored am England winner at Anfield and was cheered.

[Elzar]

Very England football team.

Play a new system, play the best team, declare it to be working very well, lost 1-0 against the a weak Germany team.

[Son of Spion]

Were the English fans singing have you ever seen Germany win a war there? 

They were. 

As well as... There were 10 German Bombers in the air ... And the RAF from England shot one down... There were nine German......

Morons! I only watched in the hope that any Liverpool players in the team played well, but England got smashed.

Really? I wasn't really paying attention but when I did glance at the telly England seemed to be on the attack. Seemed to have a number of clear chances from the bits I saw.

[Caligula?]

Those same English fans will be in for a pleasant surprise next year in Russia.

[Buck Pete]

Reading the excellent Guardian live commentary feed on the Iraq V Australia game (I have a bet on the game)

45 min Australia kick off and Juric just runs straight at the Iraq defence ala Mark Lee in the final scene of Gallipoli. It was the same, result, metaphorically.

Brazil play tonight at 11 pm UK time v Uruguay ( Suarez suspended for this)



Tite also confirmed that Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino will start in place of the injured Gabriel Jesus, leaving Sport striker Diego Souza – the first player from a club in the North Eastern region of the country to be called up for a qualifier since 2001 – on the bench.

“Firmino's in great form at Liverpool, so is Diego Souza, especially over the last year at Sport, where he has become a [one of the best] in the Brazilian league,” Tite said. “Firmino has come in well, and is scoring goals, so he has justified his selection.”

Brazil have worked intensively on attacking movement their two proper training sessions this week, with Firmino set to operate in a false no.9 position that will require a slight variation to Tite’s tried and tested 4-1-4-1 setup.

Gabriel Jesus, out with a broken toe, is the top scorer under Tite, having netted five goals in six matches. Firmino, Neymar and Philippe Coutinho will be charged with finding the net in his absence.

60% of games played, zero goals conceded. 3 of the remaining 4 matches are in Tehran.

Quieroz is a defensive god. Maybe he's that Defensive coach we've been looking for all these years.

A win vs. China in Tehran on Tuesday, and I can safely book my hotels on Tverskaya St for next summer

[Aceldama]

Qatar building a strong foundation for a successful tournament in 2022 I see.

[SerbianScouser]

Firmino upfront with Neymar and Phil flanking him. Will be interesting to watch them 3 upfront interchange. Think Tite is doing a great job so far, expecting Brazil to continue with their domination in this qualification.

[elsewhere]

Nigeria 1 Senegal 1

Thankfully Mane played only in last 25 mins as a substitute

[elsewhere]

Qatar building a strong foundation for a successful tournament in 2022 I see.

  I hope they lose every match in their group 12-0 in 2022 WC, corrupt oil rich pricks.
Still amazed there will be a WC there after that many worker deaths as well as bribery charges.

[elsewhere]

Diego Rolan starts in Suarez's absence. Could have been fun seeing him and Coutinho against each other.
Also how on earth that ex Spurs Paulinho starting in their midfield?

[Andy82lfc]

anyone got a link to the brazil game or know what tv/kodi channel its on?

[Gerry Attrick]

Cavani has put Uruguay ahead.

[ggcc14]

what a match, Paulinho just scored a wonderful goal. i was planning on switching to chile argentina, but will be hard to turn this off.

[Andy82lfc]

Thanks mate. Caught another steam from Reddit in the end. 1-1 now, pretty good match so far!

[elsewhere]

i guess i got my answer why Paulinho is playing

[unknownuser]

I hope Bobby scores to shut up this idiot on Bein Sport who can't stop wanking over "Gabi" Jesus

[SerbianScouser]

Neymar refusing to pass to anyone tonight.

[SerbianScouser]

Brilliant from Bobby there for their goal.

[4pool]

Phil with some dribbling out right touch line, cuts in side, pass to Firmino who turns and shoots from center of the goal at the 18 yard line,, keepers saves low to his left. Paulinho first to the rebound.

1-2 Brazil

[mersey_paradiso]

Great finish by Neymar there , 3-1

[SerbianScouser]

Coates is terrible.

[ggcc14]

Lovely finish by Neymar, game over.

[SerbianScouser]

Also how on earth that ex Spurs Paulinho starting in their midfield?

Only scored a hat-trick tonight 

[ggcc14]

Only scored a hat-trick tonight 

[Phil M]

Hope everyone is all set for the titanic tussle of Andorra v Faroe Islands tonight.

Promises to be a cracker.

[jillcwhomever]

What does everyone think about ROI v Wales tonight? Who does everyone fancy?

[Crosby Nick]

What does everyone think about ROI v Wales tonight? Who does everyone fancy?

Neither.

I think Ireland will sneak it though.  Think they're generally strong at home and think Wales will have a slight Euros hangover.

That's based on absolutely nothing and it's not even me being mean on purpose about Wales,  unlike the Rugby I like them to do well in football.

[Robinred]

Watching Georgia v Serbia isn't easy.

It's difficult to know vitch vitch is vitch.

[Greatness]

Must not lose game for Wales, will be tough for them to catch ROI and Serbia if they don't at least gain a draw tonight.

[Son of Spion]

Yes, you are correct. It was a typo on my part. England did alright on the pitch. The better side for much of the game.

My post should have said "get smashed" rather than "got smashed". 

[jillcwhomever]

After that Serbia victory Wales cannot afford to lose I would say. Team news.

Republic of Ireland

Randolph; Coleman, Keogh, O’Shea, Ward; McClean, Whelan, McCarthy, Hendrick; Walters, Long. Subs: Westwood, C. Doyle, McGeady, K. Doyle, Horgan, Christie, Egan, Hourihane, Meyler, Hayes, O’Dowda, Pearce.

Wales

Hennessey; Davies, Chester, Williams (C); Gunter, Allen, Ramsey, Ledley, Taylor; Bale; Robson-Kanu. Subs: Ward, Fon Williams, Collins, Walsh, Macdonald, King, Richards, Edwards, Vokes, Wilson, Bradshaw, Woodburn.

[Dim Glas]

very nice touch that, Ashley Williams handing over a Wales shirt with Ryan McBride's name and number on it.

[Robinred]

The sharpest and most dangerous thing on the pitch is Stephen Ward's nose.

[Upinsmoke]

Had a fiver on Wales.

Be interesting if Woodburn comes on.
