Interesting way Russia are getting round the minimum capacity at world cup games.  Hope the weathers good.

 

 

 

It's actually a really intelligent way of going about it to be fair..

I'm scared of heights so just looking at that makes me dizzy

Looks a nice perch to recuperate after getting your ribs kicked in by a mob of paramilitary thugs outside the ground.  If you're top row you could turn around, lean over and launch a loogy on them.

that looks so unsteady and unsafe

Everyone who sits in that section should get a free t-shirt that says "I almost attended the 2018 World Cup".

What the ****

Syria v Aussies in a couple of hours, winner plays fourth place in the Concacaf for a place in Russia. Mixed feelings on Syria, it would be amazing for them to get there and brilliant for the fans and players after what they have gone through, downside is if they did they would become a propaganda tool for the Assad regime back home on the World stage.

 

Going to watch Argentina v Peru on the live streams tonight, absolutely massive match, Argentina fail to win they are probably going to miss out.

That was a great game, Syria have got some balls. Not without a chance, deserved to win.

Syria 1 - 1 Aus

Think Oz will finish them at home

Yeah they will, Syria had to win their home game to have a chance.

That's the problem - game was in Malaysia, therefore little advantage.

huge match. will be great for Peru as a nation to get through but as lacklustre as Argentina have been so far, I think they'll scrape through and have too much for Peru. 

Peru have had a great campaign though.

Scotland- Slovakia just went mental. Mak booked for a bad challenge, then two Slovaks booked over a quick free kick, leading to mak diving and getting sent off.

 

Just wish the actual football was as entertaining - balls just bouncing off everyone on both sides.

I read Peru have won their last three away games while Argentina are in disarray, should be a good game this for sure

Superb. Scotland could have had this game buried

[purpleronnie]

So happy Scotland did it, told my dad they'd score in the last minute.

 

Tough game Sunday but having watched us win tonight they looked hopeless upfront so c'mon Scotland!!!!

Relieved after a narrow, workmanlike win against Montenegro. Jovetic getting injured during the first half and a superb snap shot by Eriksen was what separated the sides.

Now to seal the playoffs and maybe, just maybe, even nick first place if Montenegro stun Poland.

Absolutely fantastic player and probably doesn't get the plaudits he deserves

He's getting better and better. He'll always be limited by a lack of pace, but his technique and speed of thought is exemplary.

Imagine if we had someone like him now, would make the situation much rosier.

 

Not sure if want Scotland at the World Cup; you look at the state of their 'top' leagues and think it's quite poor overall tbh.

Arguably Spurs' best player, our most similar no. 10 is probably Lallana but Eriksen is streets ahead still.

I mean having someone like Eriksen in LCFC's team would improve things more, domestically.

Lovely pink shirts for the sweaties.

Very Braveheart.

Shame if they do get into the play-offs the Scots won't be seeded so probably face a very tough test.

 

Will NI be seeded?
