Kejan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I've got an eye on both games, and agree, ES look like they are riled up very easily. I am happy to see them back for nostalgia, for some reason I had an El Salvador t-shirt from a relative who had traveled around the Central Americas, so I always seen them as my 'team' in CONCACAF, but they don't look too great, haha. I think I read something about their current coach deserving a lot of credit for their recent upturn in form? Alasdair Johnston, Soupe. He has to be from Nova Scotia or Ontario? Straight off the boat parents like Aird? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have Panama - Mexico on in the background as well, and I think its Panamanian TV but they have some sort of competition with a very fake Arab that comes on the screen from time to time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 OK I know I shouldn't complain too much but CONCACAF refs are absolute garbage. El Salvador could very easily have had 2 red cards in the first half 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) USA 1-0 down in Honduras. Could they do it again, and not qualify for another WC? Edited September 9, 2021 by Kejan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Honduras 1-4 USA A great 2nd half from the US after a ghastly 1st half. An overall disappointing international break for the US and by far the worst performances were from the Euro based players. Weston McKennie especially, absolute garbage from him. Shout out to Josh Sargent as well. He is genuinely one of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen. The bottom end of the EPL is pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland for me, they've always been spawny as fuck and always seemed to get top seeds like Sweden or Switzerland in their group for loads of qualifying campaigns in a row, getting to the play offs and ending up with the likes of Estonia and fucking Bosnia. Wales had genuine quality in the likes of Bale and Allen so their probable demise won't give me as much pleasure. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 There are talks about changing the WC format to make it every 2 years. I like summer international tournaments but I’m not a fan of that idea. Ultimately FIFA make Rangers look like a bastion of fair play so it’ll probably happen once the bribes start being handed out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Republic of Ireland have been spawning their way to finals all my adult life. The Henry handball remains one of the most satisfying incidents in football not involving my team, ever. They are absolute murder to watch, are managed by an utter diddy and their best known player is pretty much finished, although in his defence he winds up the staunch something terrific. Wales are mildy annoying but in their defence they were utter dogshite for decades until Bale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team 33 Tears and snotters everywhere. Sepp Blatter: "We received a delegation from Ireland at Fifa and they were naturally absolutely unhappy at what has happened. They know the match cannot be replayed and the decision of the referee is final," said Blatter. "Naturally they have not asked for any sanctions to be given to any player or the referee, but they have asked, very humbly 'Can't we be team No33 at the World Cup?' They have asked for that, really. I will bring it to the attention of the executive committee but if we do that, we will also have to bring in Costa Rica." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
