No $$. Currently flogging all the stuff FIFA gave them for the training facilities and unable to pay their coach.

I suppose we should be grateful England are not in one of those groups...

 

[Kenny]

Tough trip to play Bhutan up in the Gods would be ace.

Bet Deutsch watched them all on a stream

Bloody hell - Sri Lanka play at sea level. Their second leg game is basically going to be played on the set of Far Cry 4.

 

[Templeton Peck]

How would people feel if England boycotted this?

 

[Kenny]

I would miss watching us for 2 weeks but wouldn't miss the crying of a nation, that previously didn't give a shit about football, when we got knocked out.

Pretty much how I feel. Russia 2018 is starting to feel a little too Berlin 36 for my liking.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Bad news for those of you backing Mongolia to lift the trophy in Russia, but they are the first country to be eliminated having lost 5 - 1 on aggregate to East Timor.

 

[Kenny]

Bhutan go to the next phase. A 2-1 win v Sri Lanka (3-1 on agg).

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Can you get a Bhutan shirt I wonder....

 

[Kenny]

Lovely kit as well...

 

[Kenny]

Kit on sale at the ground today priced at NU-500.....which is about £5.90

Easyjet flight to Nepal, Sherpa rental (man not van) to the Stadium and still probably cheaper than a Wolves one.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

They could be Holland with all that orange on their shirts.

 

[The Bear]

Lovely kit as well...

Looks like they've been eating spaghetti and missed their mouths.

A nation that was proud to give the world Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, and Dennis Bergkamp would like you to welcome Bas Dost.
