Captain Kirk

They’ve got enough players coming through, if anything they might end up going further if they can get a decent transition going on the next couple of years. Tielemans is a monster of a player. EDIT - Scratch that, I thought a few of their other players were a lot younger.

Is it full price £60? I’ve tried to veer away from release dates my backlog is massive then by the time I actually play it, it’s been on sale about 3 times at a quarter the price.

Yeah that’s good for me too, I think being older and not having enough time I just want to experience the game not some extra fluff to pad it out. If I wanted to play puzzles I’d buy a puzzle game.

Morocco with a better chance than ever of getting to the Semis now. Don't think Portugal or Switzerland are up to much.

How is Darren Till still ranked in the top 10?

They can afford the executive seats so they get the real stuff.

What are those penalties about? Shocking. Need power or accuracy they chose neither. All over for Japan I’m afraid.

Maybe it’ll be top two plus another 8 with the biggest cheque books.

Croatia look old.

Dragon Age out next week, hopefully as good as the Castlevania series.

Ok that cretin who says 'Granny I got the job.'

I don't think Morocco will be an easy game for Spain either.

Or that bird saying 'Granny I got the job'. 🤮

Gerrard would be an awful appointment, looks like Beale was the brains behind the operation. Was widely reported when he was at Rangers then the stuff from Martinez. You never know how much to believe of that though. They’re an injury to Mbappe or Giroud away from looking very beatable.

To be honest if England or Netherlands are going to win a World Cup this is the one to do it. Seems like every national team outside of France(who are very thin in some positions) is at the start or end of a cycle. Going for Morocco to put out Spain. Don’t think we see Neymar again this tournament without injections. If Richarlison goes down then it’s a problem.

Changed my mind. Jesus and Telles just got ruled out for the tournament.

Now you’re using friendlies? Yes I’m well aware South Korea was qualification but like you said they got beat also. Yes they’re not good, neither are Wales or Iran… At which point do you think I’m saying Scotland are great? Would rather Australia went through.

So Wales in 2022 with all their old star players unfit, the 6-2 loss against England and a loss against USA. Or are we comparing European qualification with playing Lebanon and Iraq?

On what evidence? FIFA ranking points? 😂

Against an older Wales team and Iran, doubtful. Both sides they lost to(awful tactics from Clarke in both games) are better than those sides.

They got the same result against England 2 years ago…

I’d never heard of the comparison, still need to find the time to play Ghost of Tsushima ridiculous that I’ve still not even installed it.

9 goals against Iran and a Wales squad completely at the end of it’s lifespan. I’ll give you Terimi, the lad playing for Leverkusen has 1 goal in 17 this season. For me it comes down to American sports focusing on physicality, Netherlands just waited it out for the right openings. It takes generations to get up to a normal level and 10 years of bad coaching to destroy a whole countries youth. It’s not easy, plus look at Germany all the players they have and no truly elite class strikers. Then you get issues like Scotland had when we have two elite players who both play in the same position, having a well rounded national side takes luck as much as preparation.

They played a toothless England, an old Wales and Iran. Scotland’s defence would do alright against that and we won’t even qualify.

Aye but he’s still pish.
