Fck the World Cup, prolly gonna be mad wack and boring with loads of violence and corruption... Gutted for Ireland... And to top it off Lord Bendtner gets a pen smh

And that's exactly how it is when your team loses. Fuck whatever it is and look for faults because you got defeated lol.

Haha not just that, England are my team, but I desperately wanted Ireland to qualify, partly because Im half Irish but also the fans bring fun and great atmosphere dont they??? They would prolly take over Russia and bring great spirits like they did in the Euros, I think they basically policed the Euros, didnt they move police blocks and let cars through FOR the police??? haha Im sure it was something like that from memory!!!

No Italy, no Netherlands no ROI or N.I, no Chile, no USA, no Cameron, no Ivory Coast, theres other great teams too, I mean almost no Argentina!!! Just feels like a lacklustre World Cup... You could prolly make a world beating top 11 that could win the World Cup...

Bro when was the last time Ireland qualified for the world cup? USA '94?

Ireland lost to Spain in a penalty shoot-out in the 2002 World Cup.

Yeah they knocked us out the qualification when Van Gaal was coach for the first time..

2002 was still fiya though...remember being in highschool and mofos were like Senegal is 1 up against La France and we were all hyped af going home lol.
 
I have lots a fam in Kobenhavn so I was one if the few mofos outside Denmark that was actually rooting for em lol. Think I still have a Laudrup shirt somewhere...
 
WHO IS IN IT?

So far 30 of the 32 teams have been confirmed for Russia next year, with only two games remaining on Wednesday morning. Honduras face Australia and Peru play New Zealand, with both fixtures hanging in the balance after the first legs finished 0-0.

The teams qualified so far are:

UEFA (Europe): Russia (hosts) France, Portugal, Germany, Serbia, Poland, England, Spain, Belgium, Iceland, Switzerland, Croatia, Sweden, Denmark

CONMEBOL (South America): Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia

CONCACAF (North/Central America and Caribbean): Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama

AFC (Asia): Iran Football, South Korea Football, Japan Football, Saudi Arabia

CAF (Africa): Tunisia, Nigeria, Morocco, Senegal, Egypt
 
Yo I just realized Hector Cuper is Egypt's coach man @Figo thought he quit or died or some shit lol. I remember him always smoking a cigar back when shit was still allowed on the pitch lmao.

2002... Plus they qualified for the Euros and done well there and made a massive impact... Then made it to the WC knockout and were one game away, after going 1 up...

I hear you. Those countries just weren't good enough this time around.

Thing is though, youre right technically they wernt, BUT if they did let Italy in I reckon they would atleast make the QTR's... Meanwhile Iran and Australia are gonna go and prolly get knocked out straight away...

Italy probably would have fallen in group stage like the previous two World Cups.

Nah I think they would of done well, I mean look at the quality of players they have, I think they would make it out the groups stages... And the amount of players, like Sanchez for example, that arnt gonna make the WC, what is a WC without the best of the best playing??? This is one WC Im not hyped for atm, the fact its in Russia doesnt help... Just seems so boring... Hopefully Zlatan turns up and tells the gaffer he is playing and waltz out onto the pitch like, 'you thought that Zlatan wouldnt play in a WC???'...

The quality of players, eh? That's what they said the last two World Cups as well.

 
I mean, didnt Australia move into Asia to get out of the Oceania group??? Its a joke, all to make it easier to qualify for World Cup, whilst New Zealand, their neighbours still play in the Oceania group... Since when was Israel part of Europe??? Why arnt they in the Asian group??? Maybe we can get Ireland to 'change continent' and play in the Oceania group every 2 years for the WC to insure they qualify, then move back to the European continent for the Euros 2 years later...

Arab countries refused to play Israel so they had to leave Asian group in 1974. They joined UEFA in 1994. Also, moving to Oceania wouldn't ensure Ireland's qualification because they could play a South American team (this time) or a CONCACAF team (like Mexico last time).

Then they should be kicked out or handed a 3-0 loss if they refused to play, politics shouldnt play a part in football/sports imo... If you are in a continent, you should play in that continent... I mean Isreail even song in the Eurovision Song Contest (apparently)... Its funny Qatar are happy to let them play in World Cup though...

Just found this article, I think it sums it up, if you read it, its not anti Australian its making a point:

I think the other members voted them out. If they were to ever meet in a World Cup the Arab teams would forfeit the game.

Then thats tough, let them forfeit 3-0... But now it seems the countries that wanted Israel (who are in asia) out and Australia (who are not in asia) in are now moaning that Australia are doing too well lol It should be simple, if you are in a continent, you play there... FCK politics and envelopes of money under the table... It should be simple, sports has no place for politics... Everyone is the same on the field or whatever playing grounds, sportsmen/women are all equal on game day...

Cuper the general. I always respected his coaching abilities. Valencia to inter and he’s about to enter the big stage. Salah balling under his tactics

It's easier said than done saying that politics has no place in football, and if that was the case then England should not have kicked off to UEFA about being unable to wear poppies at matches - they did and got their way. The sheer tension with Israel and other neighbouring countries is far too unstable to a point where it is unsafe making them play against neighbouring countries. Keeping Israel in the Asian football association would result in murders. The Munich Olympics massacre in 1972 is an example. Politics does enter sport whether one wants it to or not.
