The Road to Russia 2018

[Jack Regan]

Switzerland miss an absolute sitter to put this tie to bed early.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Seferovic is a good footballer but a really bad finisher, misses so many chances.

 

[Jack Regan]

Switzerland should really be out of sight by now. Hopefully Northern Ireland can punish them for their profligacy.

 

[Jack Regan]

Somehow got to half time all square. Particularly enjoying Gerry Armstrong's completely unbiased co-comms.

Really...? If it wasn't for his accent you'd have no idea he was from Northern Ireland :icon_lol:

I certainly don't blame him, you can certainly see the passion he still has for his country.

Imagine if Glenn showed this kind of passion when co-commentating... He'd still be a twat.

How Switzerland haven't put this game to bed yet is beyond me.

 

[Langers]

Oh he's made it far more entertaining than it would have otherwise been!

 

[Alan]

Seferovic today is up there with Stephen Hunt vs. Watford for worst performance I've ever seen.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

NI gave it everything, should have played like that on Thursday.

Overall the better side over two legs went through, just a pity that shocking decision was the deciding factor.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Close but no cigar. Ni huffed and puffed but lacked real quality. Swiss were not great but were technically better over 2 legs.

Lots going on in the Italy vs Sweden game, Chiellini on a booking and could have been sent off already and Darmian should have given away a penalty but the ref somehow didn't think it was handball.

Italians struggling so far although Immobile has just hit the side netting.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Unbelievable defending from Sweden here.... Non stop pressure.

 

[slink]

Yeah the Italians have piled on the pressure in the last 25 minutes and really should be in front although Sweden have been denied at least 1 clear penalty and if they don't qualify will be furious.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Sweden have more than held their own in a tough away game. They really want this.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Could've been a penalty the other way now!

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Italy's midfield is awful, they may as well not be there for how involved they are in the game. Surely they have a better option to play wide left than super heavily right footed Darmian too?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

what a save!!

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Unbelievable result. Congratulations Fred! Crazy to think of a World Cup without Italy, but this should signal the clear out they've needed for a long time.

 

[jd1981]

Omg no Italy at a World Cup really find it hard to believe.
