turkey vs croatia, poland vs northern ireland, germany vs ukraine

Recommended Posts

both of these sides are pissing me off for different reasons

 

Poland because they can't cross or finish for shit 

 

Northern Ireland because they've come not to lose. so frustrating when teams go to major tournaments and they just set up to not concede, as opposed to setting up to not concede as well as trying to score as well.

No time added on ref is most likely bored...like the rest of us.

What do you expect? They have a man playing for Fleetwood in their side and Poland have one from Bayern. Their best players are their defenders so they build the team around them because they know they can qualify with draws these days. Fair play to them I say.

To be fair to NI, that's part of their tactic to score - get Poland more and more frustrated, throwing more men forward without thinking about defence and pounce on any chance that may come their way.

I've resorted to trying to piece together a Kosovo national team I'm that bored.

Tidy midfield. Basically of Switzerland. Dzemaili (sp?), Xhaka, Behrami as your middle three. Pajtim Kasami an option off the bench?

Januzaj and Shaqiri out wide. Mehmedi and Tarashaj up front?

The other Xhaka at full back, Lorik Cana at centre half.

Fill in the gaps with a few unknowns and that team would comfortably beat what's left of Albania and Switzerland all day long.

it's extremely unlikely they'll qualify with 3 draws though.

it's just very frustrating to watch.

This is very defensive for us.

Would take 0-0 but need some support for Lafferty. Midfield don't seem bothered about going forward, hopefully that will change in this half.

To be fair, the plan is probably to get a draw here. A point here and a win against Ukraine is probably best case scenario for NI and should see you through.
