Men's Football FIFA World Cup 2018

At last night's talk show, we were shown that the Netherlands can still go to the World Cup and being eliminated means nothing :yikes:

They had several good options.

 

Option 1 - Pretend to be Belgians
1. When Belgium goes to Russia, their bus will drive via Prague, as shown in the spoiler below

2. Near Prague, there's a tunnel, where one is always in a traffic jam, and that's our chance;

3. We hijack the bus, put on some Belgian clothes and ride on to the World Cup

4. Work on the accent and nobody will figure it out

Option 2 - Remove Iceland
1. After some checking, it turns out Iceland is actually an island and has no physical connection to any large land mass

2. This makes way to the option of attaching Iceland to some big boats and pulling it away

3. Pull Iceland all the way to Florida so it's part of the US and, since the US didn't qualify, a spot in the World Cup has now opened up!

Option 3 - Kiss Russia's ass
1. Next year, the Netherlands will be in the UN Security Council, which opens up this entire option

2. We'll promise to vote for whatever the Russians vote for if they let us go to the World Cup

Option 4 - We grab that World Cup
1. We're going to the World Cup Final and we're going to take the Cup

2. They always place the World Cup close to the field, which is our chance, since we've all bought tickets for the final

3. Rafael van der Vaart will act as a distraction for the fans

4. Arjen Robben is really fast. He'll dress up as a fan and outrun everyone to grab the Cup

5. Once we've got the Cup, a gold-painted Wesley Sneijder will be put down there as a disguise for the Cup, so nobody will notice the back switcheroo

And that is how the Netherlands might be elimited, but is not even close to being out of the World Cup :)

Another tough draw for Sweden , after 2014 draw against Portugal , Italy is in great danger IMO with their average performance in qualifications , Ireland vs. Danemark is a very balanced match , both teams have same chances to qualify , Switzerland is for sure better than NI and they deserve to qualify after winning 9 matches in qualifiers , but it's always hard when u play with teams like NI who play with passion and heart , finally Croatia shouldn't have problems against Greece

We get the one team I wanted to avoid. I know already we will struggle big time creating chances against them. And on top of that we start with a home game :facepalm:

Switzerland as usual lucky with the draw, I can't see Northern Ireland beat them. Sweden can be tricky for Italy I think.

European Playoff

 

:NIR  vs  :SUI

:CRO  vs  :GRE

:DEN  vs  :IRL

:SWE  vs  :ITA

 

Go Switzerland, because Switzerland

Go Croatia, because Greece

Go Ireland, because Ireland really deserves some 'revenge' after France stole their place in the 2010 World Cup

Go Sweden or Italy

 

:p

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
