[Cripps_orig]

EUROPEAN countries will be drawn into NINE groups, with winners qualifying automatically and eight best runners-up playing off for four other places. Euro nations will be split into six seeded pots, with one team from each drawn into each group.
Pots with the lowest seeds will be drawn first while pots with the top seeds, like England, will be drawn at around 8.40pm BST.
AFRICA have five places for the finals. After a preliminary round, 40 teams contest 10 groups of four teams each.
ASIA have 4.5 finals spots. An initial competition sees 10 of 43 countries in two groups with winners and runners-up qualifying and third-placed teams facing off to make the inter-continental play-off.
CONCACAF have 3.5 places for the finals. Three qualifying rounds will leave six teams from 35 to face off on a league basis. The top three qualify and the fourth-placed team go into the inter-continental play-off.
OCEANIA have 0.5 places and the 11 countries play preliminary games to produce a final group of four. The winner qualifies for the intercontinental play-off.
SOUTH AMERICA have 4.5 places for the finals with hosts Brazil qualifying automatically. Nine countries play in one league with the top four qualifying and the fifth going to the inter- continental play-off.

Almost as many shockers from you recently as the BBC.

It's pre-season though. You have time to sort it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm recovering from a big summer tournament. :unsure:

decent draw for england tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

France and Spain. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

England and Poland again

England should be confident with that as the Polish keepers are clowns

:Clough:

[Master Splinter]

Group A is the group of death tbh.

In that there's three good teams there.

And that Wales and Scotland will be killed.

[Cripps_orig]

Group B id say

[Marc Overmars]

Couldn't have been more kinder for England really.

Though I'm sure we will make a hash of a couple of results at least.

[Cripps_orig]

I was hoping to get France just to have some excitement in the group but now it'll be the same old shit.

We'll no doubt top the group but unlike other countries who would get such piss easy groups and win all the games scoring goals galore, we'll draw a couple and win a few 1-0s and only really thrash San Marino and even that will be dull and only 4-0 or 5-0 where most others would get close to 10

[Cripps_orig]

Uruguay won 4-2

Ecuador lead 2-0

[Cripps_orig]

[Cripps_orig]

A hat trick and an assist for Higuain

And Di Maria with 2 assists

2 best Argentinians around :bow:

Build a team around them and they'll walk the World Cup

Probably played in every position tbh.

[Marc Overmars]

Al Habsi :bow:

Must Get

I know hes Omanese/Omanish/Omanerican/Omanian (i have no idea what they call their people) but dont know if he played in this game

Be honest, do you only rate him because he's a muzzer?

[Cripps_orig]

Be honest, do you only rate him because he's a muzzer?

Nope.

Always thought he was a bit decent whenever i saw him come in for Pussy Wankelainen for Bolton and hes been brilliant for Wigan

[Marc Overmars]

Nope.

Always thought he was a bit decent whenever i saw him come in for Pussy Wankelainen for Bolton and hes been brilliant for Wigan

Is he better than Szczesny?

[Cripps_orig]

Is he better than Szczesny?

If we were to swap these 2, lets just say i wouldnt be disappointed.

Likewise im happy enough with Szcedsjfhfjkny atm

[Master Splinter]

Argentina 1-1 Bolivia currently. Moreno on 56 for Bolivia, Lavezzi with the equaliser on 60.

Both will be extremely boring.

[Cripps_orig]

Uruguay drew 1-1 at home to Venezuela

Forlan scored

Argentina v Ecuador later

[Cripps_orig]

Ivory Coast beat Tanzania 2-0

Latest victims to fall to Drogba

Kalou scored the other

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Argentina 3-0 Ecuador currently. Aguero opened it, Higuain with the second after interplay with Messi and Messi's goal was stunning apparently.

Haven't seen any of the goals so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero booked for diving. :lol: Messi is annihilating them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero off, Sosa on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain booked for the Hand of God.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defenders shit themselves, Messi is running at them, needn't have bothered this time though, only a corner came from it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Argentina 4-0 Ecuador, Di Maria. Messi goes on another stupid run, shot turned away with a block, Sosa retrieves it, ignores Messi calling for the pass, pulls it over to the other side of the box and Di Maria belts it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 FT.

[Cripps_orig]

England will be back in Poland and Ukraine for the qualifiers

So our Euro 2012 is extended therefore we are the real winners

What chance do England have of lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy in 2014? :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

In that case, im going for Guatemala to win it

[Rors]

Hoofarama so$far in this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Netherland{ 1-0 Turkey, RVP. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

DIABY!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defoe is so clinical. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save by Namasco tk deny Oxocube's volley.

[cNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Honest Frank, headgr tap-in.

:sick:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Great*cross fvom Johnson though.

Also, why can't the Barmy Army just die?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Germany 1-0 Faroe Islands, Goetze.

[Niall_Quinn]

Shame Ox is English and has to play with this shower of shite. He's so superior to everything out there and he's still learning his trade. Shame on the shits he has to play with, they should be embarrassed but ****s like Lumpard actually think they can play. He's so awful, same with Gerrard, Milner. Fucking dire has-beens and never weres.

Listen to those moronic **** fans singing songs about wanting to be reigned over. Bastards should be gassed. And when is somebody going to murder that fucking irritating band?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defoe goes for the blaster again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montenegro 2-1 Poland, Vucinic.
Bulgaria 1-1 Italy, Osvaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sod off Defoe FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Somebody shoot Milner, please.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bulgaria 1-2 Italy, Osvaldo with his second.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Hart :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart. :haha:

Somehow managed to punch it behind for a corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very nearly 1-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wales 0-1 Belgium, Kompany.

[Niall_Quinn]

Milner can't even pass a ball. Worst ever England player maybe, and considering most England players are shit you have to go some to win that award. Boring awful 45 minutes of non-football. Ox only guy on the pitch who knows how to play.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Wrighty would take him at Arsenal. :lol:

Wrighty would take us down by February.

If Wrighty were to have a stand named after him, it would be called the 'Bell End'.

[Marc Overmars]

What is the point of teams like Moldova competing? :lol:

You've got to be utterly dreadful to make England look like a cohesive football team.

[Niall_Quinn]

Banks, Shilton, Clemence, Seaman. And Hart. Standards sure have fallen off a cliff.

[Master Splinter]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK0ARnh17_A&feature=player_embedded#!

Diaby :bow:.

Now get him off FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If Wrighty were to have a stand named after him, it would be called the 'Bell End'.

Wrighty. :lol:

Awful legend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What is the point of teams like Moldova competing? :lol:

You've got to be utterly dreadful to make England look like a cohesive football team.

In addition to that point...

Liechtenstein 1-8 Bosnia. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Croatia 1-0 Macedonia, Jelavic.

[Syn]

Theo :lol:

Oxo has killed him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stevie Me hauled off, Carrick on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a good thing Picusciac is shit.

Johnson's defending. :doh:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Good header back from Johnson. Keeping everyone on their toes and alert. Important not to switch off an become complacent against a team like Moldova.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montenegro 2-2 Poland, Mierzejewski.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

England. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner is embarrassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oxocube off, Theo on.

Milner stays on? FFS.

[Syn]

Milner :lol:

After his solid performances in the Euros, this is shambolic.

Speaking of Chamakh, here comes Theo to replace his superior.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Germany 2-0 Faroe Islands, Oezil.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Luxembourg 1-2 Portugal, Postiga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner with the tekkers.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

How overboard will the headlines be when we complete this heroic victory over the mighty Moldova?

"England Show why they are no 3 in the world"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defoe off, Welbeck on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, the criminally overrated Welbeck gets to play for England again. Tragic if he's all the nation has.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4 Milner.

Longest counter-attack ever. Theo assist, eventually. Poor touch on the break initially though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jeez, Walnut, Welbeck and Stupidly clueless. The talentless Milner has to show them where the goal is. Humiliating.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bulgaria 2-2 Italy, Milanov. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Moldova AND San Marino in the same group?

:lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Moldova AND San Marino in the same group?

:lol:

England must love this lol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Go on the outside Theo, you berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Germany 3-0 Faroe Islands, Oezil with his second.

[Niall_Quinn]

Look at Theo's positioning and movement. If he found himself wide open he'd run to his marker. Not sure what position he's supposed to be playing here but whatever it is he can't play it. Why take Ox off when he was the only player capable of entertaining the fans? You don't get much for your money these days.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moral victory for Moldova if they can pub in a goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Don't think they are good enough to score. Even in training.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-5, Baines deflected freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't think they are good enough to score. Even in training.

They will still hammer San Marino though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Silly goal, but I suppose Baines is a half decent player. Half decent mind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi is on for Germany.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo's shot. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Netherlands 2-0 Turkey, Narsingh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man is injured.

:lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

I suppose you can only beat the shit put in front of you. But Moldova couldn't even manage that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo is an idiot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott never learns. Crap player who is accidentally brilliant from time to time.

[Özim]

Walcott is sh*t.

[Niall_Quinn]

Spain 1-0 Saudi Arabia, CAZORLA! :bow:

Good player I hear. His stock is rising... Mmm, lovely rising stock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moldova 0-5 England, FT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like England are odds on to win the WC.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Theo is an idiot.

What did he do?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wales 0-2 Belgium, FT. Vertonghen with the other goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

What did he do?

For once he ran straight into his man rather than around him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What did he do?

Stumbling about on a counter-attack, managed to control himself on the ball just in time to keep on running in to a brick wall.

[Marc Overmars]

Even against these part-timers Walnut still punts and runs right into a player. :doh:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

And this is the guy who wants 100K a week

:haha:

[Özim]

:lol: How is this guy still getting picked for England. There's something to say for overhyping kids.

Undoubtedly one of the worst footballers to have played for England more than once.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sell him he's shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Unfortunately he's one of our longest serving and, I'm afraid,best players.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Unfortunately he's one of our longest serving and, I'm afraid,best players.

Nah he'll be gone in Jan

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Montenegro 0-1 Poland, Blazczykowski pelanty.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Belgium's first XI must have a shitload in transfer fee behind them. Even Benteke and Lukaku on the bench were about £25m for the pair. A truly great on-paper team. But football isn't played on paper™. Except tonight.

Last moves:

Courtois £5m
G Gillet fuck knows
Vermaelen £10m
Kompany £6m
Vertonghen £10m
Hazard £32m
Witsel £32m
Fellaini £15m
Mertens £4m?
Dembele £15m
Mirallas £6m?

:faint:

[Master Splinter]

They're almost as good on-paper as Spurs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hopefully Oxocube doesn't take a kicking from the pub teamers.

[Dennis Bendtner]

They're almost as good on-paper as Spurs.

Spurs are the benchmark for on-paper teams. Their best defender was made of paper. I don't think anyone will come close to their much vaunted squad depth™ which saw them sustain a title challenge™

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox/cube plays a gond ball through the middle to Stevie Me,`he in tsrn does nothing with it.

[Master Splinter]

Spurs are the benchmark for on-paper teams. Their best defender was made of paper. I don't think anyone will come close to their much vaunted squad depth™ which saw them sustain a title challenge™

Do not forget they have also Dos Santos, Bentley and Danny Rose in deep reserve.

They have so many good players on-paper they have to constantly get rid of them.

[Cripps_orig]

Colombia 4-0 Uruguay

Ecuador 1-0 Bolivia

[Cripps_orig]

Argentina 2-1 Paraguay

Half time atm

Di Maria and Higuain with the goals

[Cripps_orig]

3-1

Messi with his usual +1 :rolleyes:

[Cripps_orig]

Finished 3-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's goal was an awlsome freekick.

Falcao scored for Colombia.

Jamaica beat USA 2-1.

Yanks. :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Dos santos :pal: Should have stayed at Barca tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Just saw the England highlights

Ox and Theo assists :bow:

Arsenal boys coming good for club and country

Also why start Milner over Theo? Woy has to go

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo and Sturridge missed training through illness apparently. Sturridge I can understand but what happened to Theo?

[Marc Overmars]

After bumping his head against that brick wall, he may have picked up a migraine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That would do it, although the rest of them are probably hungover so they will be in the same boat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lallana, Livermore and Sterling have been added to the England squad in light of the above.

Liverpool. :lol:

No chance of hiding him from the spotlight now.

[GP]

Sterling isn't even English :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120402180636/theamazingworldofgumball/images/9/99/Luke_NOOOOOO.jpg

Keep away from him, Raheem! Keep away!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woy confirms Theo has returned to Arsenal. Although that will mean the same training ground England train at.

[Syn]

What a failure. Can we get a refund from Southampton on Saturday?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We already pleaded with them not to pay the originally agreed amount, I think our credit with them sailed a long time ago.

[Niall_Quinn]

What a failure. Can we get a refund from Southampton on Saturday?

No, they have already used the money to buy pads to protect against Theo impacts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should :banghead: be renamed :theo:?

:ninja:

[Syn]

Definitely.

:rolleyes: for Gervinho

:bow: for Cazorla

:haha: for Wilshere

:blink: for Diaby

[McNamara That Ghost...]
