Mon_The_Fife Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Was working late tonight so couldn't make the NZ v Solomon Islands game. The amount of people who didn't even know there was an international game on is quite sad really.If NZ win I'm sure the play off will likely be in Wellington though sadly.

IggyStooge Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Why the f**k is Sampaoli alienating Gonzalo Higuain and picking Mauro Icardi? Doesn't he know that no-one likes the wee rat b*****d? Higuain can sometimes misfire but he has a great record and at least he has never shagged one of his team-mates' wives and rubbed it in on social media. Add in the fact that Messi is friends with said team-mate and we have a clusterfuck waiting to happen which may result in Russia 2018 being Argentina-less.

Mr. Brightside Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Because Icardi has 4 goals in 2 games whereas Higuain has 1? Icardi is also the future of the Argentine team along with Dybala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 5 goals in 11 at World Cups, but 3 of those were in one game against South Korea. Hardly prolific at the highest level and at 29, Sampaoli may feel like it's worth finding a long-term alternative. I think they'll qualify as they've got two very favourable home games and avoided defeat in a tricky away last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IggyStooge Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Icardi has played twice and has yet to score. Higuain has about 30-odd goals in 60-odd caps. I am no fan of Higuain and Aguero always flatters to deceive with the Albiceleste (when he's not injured) but both of those are far better options and the discord that Icardi's selection brings is hardly worth it. I'd rather he wasn't in there. It remains to be seen if my resolve would perhaps soften were he to score the winning goals in the next two games. For what it's worth. I think Argentina have the right man in charge now. Just surprised he went with Icardi and was so scathing in his criticism of Higuain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 England apparently unable to find their way through a stubborn defence. I certainly have never heard of such a scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latino Lover Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 USA lose 2-0, only one home game left. Their visit to Honduras is crucial but they've played the top two twice. Mexico qualified last night without the drama of he last few occasions. 7th consecutive qualification and gone out in second round each time.

accies1874 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 After the Wales game, there's a slot for two half-hour highlights. Instead of showing the highlights of Spain-Italy and another game, they are showing the two games they've just had on. Pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Spain v Italy is on ITV4 so I'm assuming Sky don't have the rights to show highlights straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I'd rather they'd use the hour slot to round up the other games. Well worked goal there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
