Barca raping on the road. Ridiculous.
A little late, but I just wanted to remind you guys that thereâs only 1 team in Manchester :rock:
Holy shit did anyone see that finish? Costa Rica just got their heart ripped out and stomped!
FUCK YOU COSTA RICA hahahaha
WOOT #1 Hopefully we dont draw some bs bracket like last time!
Congratulations to the US. Hopefully Ireland can put one over on that cunt Sepp Blatter and knock out one of his preferred teams in the playoff.
Weâll find out who our opponents are on Monday.
Sorry that you guys had to be paired up with the almighty âBlue Impactâ Italy, but thatâs just how things are, strictly business (speaking of which, that game vs. Cyprus yesterday was about to give me a heart attack).
Ireland went undefeated in 10 games, yet tied 6 out of those 10. :looney:
I was pretty :bluu: knowing that Argentina qualified for the WC. Their game is SOOOO bad these days. Does Messi leave his game plan in Barcelona or something?
No, Maradona is just a horrible manager.
LOL, I know. And instead of offering a handful of coke to Lady Luck, guy just comes out and insults the press. :rolleyes:

Uruguay vs. Costa Rica for the final spot in America.
Bahrein vs. New Zealand for the final spot in Asia (0-0 in the first game).
One fixture left in Africa groups.
Russia, Ukraine, France, Slovenia, Greece, Bosnia, Portugal, and Ireland will play amidst each other to draw the last 4 European spots.
He leaves his gameplan with Xavi and Iniesta :wgrin:
This is what I was talking about. Two weeks ago FIFA President Sepp Blatter changed this to a seeded draw rather than a random draw to protect the big teams like France, Portugal and Russia.
If it were seeded, matches would look like this:
Russia vs. Ireland
Ukraine vs. Portugal
France vs. Bosnia
Greece vs. Slovenia
That sounds decent enough. Why would FIFA risk a possible Portugal vs. France matchup?
Russia, France, Portugal and Greece are the seeded teams, so theyâll be randomly drawn against one of the remaining four.
The qualifying groups were ALREADY seeded to improve their chances and they didnât perform over a series of at least ten matches and now theyâre being seeded AGAIN to give them another better chance.
Itâs all to do with money and nothing to do with football.
Wait, FIFAâs determining the European qualifiers? I thought UEFA was responsible for that.
Blatter was the one who announced it although Iâm sure Platini had a hand in it too.

LOL @ Brazilâs U-20.
This Dynamo - Galaxy game is great. Two blackouts so far. All it needs is for this game to go to PKs and have the lights go out right as someone shoots, and they miss.
Donât bring that evil upon me man. I want this game to end so I can get to sleep sometime son.
LETâS GO DYNAMO.
WC Qualifiers today!
1-0 to Ireland at half time.
Away goal canceled out and we were by far the better team.
Come on Ireland!!!
