We need a thread for the South American internationals too!

Uruguay vs. Colombia looks like a hard matchfor us. Thankfully Colombia’s NT always show their best in Barranquilla against top opposition (but crumble against fodder such as Bolivia or Venezuela ffs).

 

[Sassy Colin]

Are England only playing 1 game then? Isn't there a pointless friendly?

Tomorrow against Australia.

This thread is for all internationals. It's just that most on here only watch the European matches.

They play Italy on Tuesday, that is a qualifier.

 

[duffer]

Are any of these things on telly in the UK?

Yes, I know that. Is that the only game England are playing?

England is in C4 tomorrow.

Most of the rest seem to be available viaplay or bet365, no idea how you access games on that.

South American games are listed as being on FIFA+. Apparently it's free to use.

Not that I'd recommend it, but if you were to use a certain internet streaming tv service viaplay should be on there somewhere.

 

[André Dominguez]

One more week of crappy games. I'm officially a boomer when it comes to international football

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Yep. I am watching Netherlands v. France tomorrow rather than the England game.

Australia, a real tough test for the boys.

The Cyprus coach looks like Pep's slighly less attractive brother

 

[V.O.]

Daft question maybe, but why does Seville need 3 different 40k+ capacity football stadiums?

It's a tough one. Women should have the opportunity to do punditry for males games but most people I know say they're more likely to turn it off. They have a tough job because if they go to heavy on the criticism, they'll get slated. And they're never overly critical and it can come across as a bit mundane. I think Alex Scott is quite good. Karen Carney is awful to listen to.

 

[RedSky]

Its not tough, English ladies are more than qualified to discuss football tactics and player performances.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

How was that not a freekick for Scotland.

 

[Bole Top]

Daft question maybe, but why does Seville need 3 different 40k+ capacity football stadiums?

well, the newest one was built for olympic games/athletics and obviously, Betis and Sevilla aren't going to share a single stadium.

 

[Bole Top]

wow, what a mistake from Onan... I mean Livakovic.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

No way are we hanging on here

 

[Oranges038]

Dykes is like a pound shop Duncan Ferguson.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

Irony of the Spaniards not liking us being street wise and slowing the game down. Robertson coming off after getting clattered by the keeper and somehow conceding a free kick.

Thought the one earlier by Carvajal was a foul as well.

Robertson was miles offside.

Absolutely! The ref just signalled a VAR check for that rocket to mcgregors face too. Beggars belief.

We can't be suggesting that anything involving Spanish football is corrupt.

This referee is just shite.

Can never keep the whistle out of his mouth or his cards in his pocket for long.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

This referee is just shite.

So it isn't just PL referees then.

 

[Oranges038]

So it isn't just PL referees then.

Think it's just the standard across ths board.

Seen this lad in a few CL games and internationals and he's always been poor.

 

[Samid]

The cowards Spain and Scotland have fixed a draw

Used to love Commebol qualifiers but it's pretty boring now with six going through automatically and 7th making the play off. Argentina and Brazil had it going to the last game in previous editions but now it will just be one long training session with little jeopardy

Hopefully Venezuela finally make it, started with a win v Paraguay.

Isn't that Ketsbaia? One of the great goal celebrations of the premier league era!

Going to be a long second half

Is that the guy who kicked the hell out of the hoardings?

Tried to strip off too.

Nusa - Haaland - Bobb front 3

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Steve Clarke has done some job. As an Irish man, very jealous. They have good players but they're set up so well each game. Each player believes
