:D I must be.
Pretty good game though! ...and there's always the second leg to look forward to.
England are in a tough group though, with Italy and Germany as well as Hungary.

It's important that you don't finish last, if you do you'll be relegated to group B.

Wales beat Ukraine 1-0

Good to see Wales back in the World Cup after a long time. Credit to their goalkeeper.


I've watched like 70 minutes of the game, they should name a street after their goalkeepeer lol.
Amazing performance, 10/10.

How can you have a hole like this in a football field? And on an international level!

:O That's so dangerous... and odd.


England managed to scrape a draw last night, I know we're only two games in but it's not looking good :P
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

It's important that you don't drop to group B even though group is very hard apart from Hungary.

Hungary played really well the other day, ridiculously fast and kept pressing for the whole 90 minutes.

In Premiership news, the transfer window opens this Friday. It's going to be an interesting one!

I got this article from a betting site (I don't gamble), but it shows the problem NZ has when it comes to football.

----------------------------------------------

New Zealand Will Need Huge Performance to Qualify for Qatar
A decade and a half ago, Australia decided to move from the Oceania confederation to the Asian one in search of stronger competition. This was widely interpreted as good news for New Zealand, who had long struggled to overcome the Socceroos in World Cup qualification. The All Whites duly qualified for the 2010 edition in South Africa, but they have not been back since.

That is not because they have struggled in Oceania; far from it. New Zealand routinely come through their own continent’s process, and they did so with a customary minimum of fuss this time around too. The coronavirus pandemic necessitated a change of format and several teams withdrew, but once again no one really got close to New Zealand, who thrashed the Solomon Islands 5-0 in the final of the qualification tournament.

The problem is – and it is one with which Australia will empathize – the Oceania region is too easy for New Zealand, who tend to struggle when they get through to the inter-confederation play-off.

The All Whites are simply not challenged by the other teams in Oceania, and they rarely get the opportunity to play competitive games against stronger opposition. That is why, despite their undisputed status as the kings of their region, New Zealand are huge underdogs against the fifth-best side from North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
