1-1 Aussies
The problem is that the only stadiums big enough even for Scotland friendlies are in Glasgow.Quote:

Australia getting absolutely robbed here, clear red for Saudi overturned and now the worst penalty decision you'll see this year against them.
FIFA just as corrupt as it ever was.

Oz qualify for world cup. Delighted for Boyle after missing the last one.
Boyler, Millsy and possibly Iredale all in the Workd Cup next yearQuote:

Lee Dixon not happy 🤣

Lovely booing
Hahahaha 😂
HAHA 1-3 Senegal, never rated Tuchel and was confused when he was appointed.
3-1 the Greens. 😂😂
Sides 😂👍
Booooo [emoji23][emoji23]
Senegal looked very good. Swift in attack as summed up by their third goal.
A thoroughly deserved victory for Senegal, clearly the better team tonight.
Totally. The were a joy to watch.Quote:

Yup. The last couple of Euros will haunt England. Especially the final against Italy at Wembley.Quote:

I really enjoyed his years in charge. He installed a feelgood factor around supporting England and his overall record, particularly in major championships, was outstanding. Streets ahead of any England boss since 1966. I don't think they 'blew' anything.Quote:

What are your thoughts on Clarke? Sure, Scotland were dreadful at the Euros but he's done decent enough job with the resources he has. Get the feeling, though that like Southgate he's maybe gone as far as he can?
:agree:Quote:

I'm waiting for a YouTube video to appear with the commentary 'They think it's all over...it is now!' Just after the 3rd Senegal goal.
Palestine lose out on a place in the fourth round by conceding a penalty against Oman in the 97th minute to draw 1-1
U21 Euros starts today with Slovakia vs Spain 17:00 on 4seven, England play their first game tomorrow.
Portugal v France on the same channel at 8.Quote:

Penalty to Slovakia.

Clarke’s time is up. Southgate had the luxury of some of the finest talent in Europe available to him. But he was far too conservative and risk averse. His teams played with the hand-brake on - as many commentators have alluded to.Quote:

Spain with the 90th minute winner, Portugal vs France should be a good game.
Was expecting a couple of goals in this game, still time though.
England 8pm on C4, they should win the whole thing again tbh.
So who's ready for the world club cup then? It has split opinions no doubt, i enjoy watching football so will be tuning in when i can and with my lack of sleep at the moment its something to watch.
Soccer aid at 19:30 is usually a good laugh.
Will be awake so why not.Quote:

I think it’s been a decent watch so far, but Miami are pretty crap.
Pen was very soft, is there no VAR?
Ref really should’ve sent off the Miami guy for a second yellow just before that.
Borefest is about all I can say. Might just bust out a bottle of wine to ease the pain.
That would have been some goal from Messi but again the keeper makes the save, then saves again with his head right at the end.
Just watching DAZN, jeez how amateur is the coverage in the studio.
Who the **** are this mob Bayern Munich are about to play. I thought it was Foley's team but apparently it's some part time amateur team instead

Aye this one is a bit of a miss match, I had no idea this team are part timers.
Hopefully the world 11 can beat England later.
3-0 to Bayern after 19 minutes. A total no contest.
4-0.
4-0 Bayern, commentators trying to big up this game but it's a match that should never take place, this team are ranked around 4800.
What are their strips like?Quote:

Om last night/this morning's game I thought Townsend was a decent on the co-com, much better than Dixon and Joe hart.
This one could be double figures.
Bayern playing walking football now and Auckland still can’t get out of their own half.
How were the clubs selected for this competition? This a nonsense.Quote:

You've got plenty people advocating that the "Champions" league should revert to what it was, and be the Champions of each country.
This tournament is doing exactly that and allowing the biggest teams from their own part of the world to compete against football financial giants.
The difference in quality is huge, but it's an indicator of what would happen if the Champions League returned to it's old format.
The two professional NZ teams play in the Australian league. As Australia are in Asia for qualifying, it allows the amateur Auckland team to compete from Oceania. Wonder what happens to the £2m+ they get for turning up?
I assume it secures the future of their club for the foreseeable future.Quote:

That's a wee eye-opener reading about the Oceania Champions League - finals held on what resembles a junior club AstroTurf at times, tiny islands making the finals, a crowd of about 800 at a recent final.
I'd be loathe to argue the winners of a continental tournament didn't have a place at this though. Outright overlook them? Seems unfair. Make them qualify and enforce even more games as part of this whole charade?

What’s even the qualifying criteria for this nonsense. Looking at the list of clubs, some are catching my eye as a bit out of place.
Porto - 3rd in Portugal, no cup win.
Athletico - 3rd in Spain, no cup win.
Dortmund - 4th in Germany, no cup win.
Juventus - 4th in Italy, no cup win.
There are a few others standing out but you get the point. Meanwhile clubs who finished above these seem to be missing.
I think you can qualify automatically by winning something or also based on your coefficient points. I remember reading that Dortmund reaching the champions league final last year gave them enough points.Quote:
