Gerry Taggart comes from just outside of there in County Antrim?

While it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person, extra judicial killings in our prisons are certainly not worth celebrating,

As history has shown us, there are much worse era’s to be in.

Iraq need to beat Saudi. It’s UAE v Qatar for the other, Qatar need to win or else it’ll be UAE.

A lot of people would be surprised if Curacao make it but if you look at their squad and where they’ve played, it wouldn’t be a surprise. A lot of Eredivisie experience, throw in some English football icons (Bacuna and Talith Chong), plus with Advocaat as manager, they should be qualifying from here.

To be fair we could still end up with a group something like England, Germany, Paraguay, Ghana which is tough. But that would be close to a worst nightmare. Equally we could end up with Iran, Panama and Cape Verde which would be jokes.

If Albania can hold on against Serbia, they’ll very likely qualify for the play offs ahead of them.

whatever time you get, it’s faster than the person who isn’t running it!

That Steve Witkoff fella is a bit of a clown but seems like a good dude at heart (which is rare for a real estate billionaire). I’m glad he seems to have succeeded where the terrible American foreign policy big wigs have failed.

Would be a consolation if prison was truly rehabilitative so that this person could learn how to control their emotions and impulses but sadly it’s not. Might as well just let him walk free.

To be fair if it keeps him engaged in de-escalating wars in pursuit of it, it’s probably best to wait 4 years until giving him the prize

Welsh rugby team 🤝 Welsh soccer team Conceding 50 against England

Want to be winning this 4-0+ to put down a marker against dross rugby nations like wales.

Says a lot that the most accessible World Cup for British people since 2006 was Russia

I am not optimistic but I really hope this sticks and we can get a two state solution and Gaza can be rebuilt, 🇮🇱 can live without the threat of H*mas while not taking over the West Bank.

Reminder to play the ball not the man. These guys are here because it’s a better life for them, although any Pole or Lithuanian who thinks modern Britain is better than their country is insane. Hell even the whole western part of Ukraine is better than here these days. The system is the issue, cheap labour, lack of labour of British workers, declining living standards etc.

Looks like we’re actually getting a ceasefire in the ME.

I would love to buy into the idea that Libya (a literal oil bed) is somehow complicit in a conspiracy to get Cape Verde (islands that’ll be sunk in 50 years) to the World Cup.

the mighty Central African Republic. They’re not even in the centre of Africa .

Through my hazy memories of watching it at school at 8am, Brazil basically wanted it more in the end. Seaman missed a cross, Beckham chickened out of a tackle etc. And yeah the officiating in that 2004 was pretty suspect but then Ricardo had the game of his life between the sticks.

That era was pretty mental to be fair. Remember us beating Argentina in a friendly in Geneva and it be like we won the World Cup. Everyone would tune in for every England game whether it was Albania away or Macedonia at home.

Looks like Ghana are about there. An attack of Kudus, Fatawu and Semenyo ain’t bad at all. Shame their main striker is pish.

UAE can definitely beat Qatar. Very similar conditions, what even is a ‘home’ game for Qatar anyway?

coming to a city near you soon. Or even better, a missile. Just hope it’s not nuclear tipped ey.

Cape Verde bottling it v Libya. Gonna have to beat the mighty eSwatini (formerly known as Swaziland) in the last game to qualify.
