The Road to Russia 2018

Still being hemmed in

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Absolute muck. Worst Ireland game in a long time.

 

[Kenny]

Ireland have been shit but should have scored 3 or 4.

 

[Donegal Wolf]

Awful performance, will get hammered tuesday night against Serbia if we play like that again.

If there is a winner in tonights game then it does give them a great chance of overhauling us.

Serbia looked very dangerous today, quick movement off the ball and some good finishing. We will need to be very good on Tues.

 

[Jack Regan]

Buffon doing his best Joe Hart impression for Italy against Spain. Decent strike by Isco but by no means in the corner.

 

[east-coast-wolves]

*UNPOPULAR OPINION* Buffon isn't that good these days. He's just not as agile as he used to be. *UNPOPULAR OPINION*

Not really a surprise when he's nearly 40 years old.

 

[Jack Regan]

No chance for Buffon this time as Isco grabs a second.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ireland have given Wales a sniff of a chance.

Which I think we will balls up hideously

 

[jd1981]

Barry is one of the most annoying bias commentators around.

 

[Kenny]

Lovely strike from Woodburn to put Wales in front. Only been in the pitch a few mins as well

 

[jd1981]

Biggest problem I've noticed in Wales and Ireland group is that the runners might miss out on the play offs.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Possibly, because of the number of draws in the group. Bit unfortunate. Desperately need Ireland v Serbia to be a draw while we smack shit out of Moldova I guess.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Groups H and I could be similar though, so it is going to be tight when the groups finish

 

[Alan]

Algeria have been all but eliminated after losing 3-1 to ten man Zambia.

Japan and Mexico have officially qualified.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Belgium first team through in Europe.

 

[Kenny]

Have I seen this score correctly - France 0 Luxembourg 0

Did France play their U15 team?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No :icon_lol:

Lloris, Koscielny, Umtiti, Pogba, Kante, Lemar, Giroud and Griezmann all started.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Amazingly, it looks a pretty much full strength French team.

Lloris, Sidibe, Koscielny (best in the world), Umtiti, Kurzawa, Mbappe, Kante, Pogba, Lemar, Giroud, Griezmann

France had 34 shots with 9 on target.

I assume that Donald walled up the Luxembourg goal as a test run
