World Cup qualifiers - Qatar 2022


Recommended Posts

The longer that went on, the more likely the dancing arsehole would somehow manage to get himself in front of the ball  :rolleyes:

Australia probably the better team overall, but I'm frankly seething that they're on five World Cups in a row now.

Are you allowed to come off your line as long as you're back on it when the kick is taken? 

I think so, yes.

Peru got what they deserved, woefully unambitious. Shame someone like Chile didn't make it through instead.

Was thinking there’s going to be a massive sesh in the Australian boozers just now but it’s currently 7am if you’re from Melbourne and 5am if you’re in Perth.

Such a tragedy that 70% of those who watched will have been killed by spiders by this time next week.

I don't think that will stop them.

Whenever he was prancing about when Peru took their first I said "He's not going to save any of these", but there was something almost inevitable about him becoming the "hero".

Yes, laws of the game only state that at least one foot needs to be on the line when the kick is taken.

Aye, bizarrely you can have a penalty save disallowed if the goalie's feet are behind the line.

Well you’ve all done more than me as I couldn’t be fucked staying up until/getting up at 03:30 to watch Australia lose and f**k me they go and win it. Very surprised they got through but good to see Adelaide United’s Craig Goodwin was brought on as a sub for the shoot-out and scored. We’ll be lucky to end up with 1 point in November though.

Costa Rica V New Zealand tonight. I want Costa Rica to win on account of their population being poorer and also more into football than NZ so it'll mean more to them. I like NZ as a nation, though, so will still be happy for them if they win. On the pitch, I've always liked Costa Rica since I first saw them play Brazil in the 2002 world cup. They lost 6-2 in that match but were really entertaining. Their 2014 quarter final run was amazing and deserved. They've gone a bit more stodgy and defensive in recent years but they're still a fun side.
