eez-eh Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 59 minutes ago, HibeeJibee said: Pretty clear that Mexico have only been given 2 stadiums worth of games but they've been split across 3 venues (each Mexican ground has only 4 or 5 games while every other stadium get 6 or 7... indeed New York, Los Angeles and Atalanta get 8 while whoever negotiated for Dallas has managed to bag 9 which is more than Guadaljara + Monterrey combined). Startling how little they or Canada are involved though... each receive only 2x Last 32 and 1x Last 16 ties, no ties at all thereafter, with a sop of the Mexicans getting the opening match. Very much USA with some bolt-ons. This seems to be the way it’s going now. A main country with some sidekicks. It’s pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is the best of the three from a climate point of view while Mexico is the best for potentially mad fans. USA is very meh. Mexico and Canada should really have demanded at least 25% of the tournament each or told the US they wouldn't vote for their bid. Shitebags. I think you underestimate our crippling inferiority complex and desperation to be seen as being important, we would have accepted one stadium Edited February 6 by senorsoupe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Just noticed that the Asian/Oceanic qualifiers are back on from next week. Some tremendous efficiency from Japan here; I assume the Beeb have lazily missed out the seconds on the kick-off time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Japan have had weird kick off times like that a few times, presumably to squeeze an extra advert in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Thailand with a remarkable 1-1 away to South Korea. Keeping the hopes alive. With China drawing with Singapore 2-2 (who are dogshite). It opens up that second place. The game itself was a one way affair, as expected. However, with compact defence and some heroic goalkeeping Thailand kept in the game. Always looked dangerous on the break with pace on both flanks. They got one real good chance and scored. On to Tuesday, where they are hosts with the return of South Korea... Since the new manager took over (after the defeat from China on the first game) he has them playing ok football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Australia 2 Lebanon 0. Australia’s goals score by a St Mirren, Baccus, cracking cross goal and a Hearts player, Rowles, with a mishit well placed in off the post. First Australian goals for both players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 North Korea v Japan called off due to “unforeseen circumstances”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/22/north-korea-cancels-world-cup-qualifier-against-japan According to reports it due to a strain of streptococcal currently spreading in Japan. Quote The Kyodo news agency cited unspecified North Korean media reports about a “malignant infectious disease” in Japan, thought to be a reference to a potentially deadly form of group A streptococcal disease, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). Experts in Japan have said cases of STSS will continue to spread, while officials are struggling to identify the cause. The number of cases in 2024 is expected to exceed last year’s record number after the presence of highly virulent and infectious strains were confirmed in Japan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's appropriate that neither of the Virgins scored and both had clean sheets. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
