Or Finland is the most sleepy team in the world :p 

 

Nah, I still remember that goal from Iceland against Austria in 90+6 at Euro which made us play against Portugal in Round of 16 instead Iceland. :d

I don't find them the most interesting because half of their continent qualifies to the World Cup, and Argentina and Brazil will always qualify. But there is always good football and it's exciting to watch, especially with those southamerican fans.

Asian qualifiers are boring, always the same results and the teams never improve their level.

 

 

 

Actually Group B is quite interesting, four teams are almost equal in the table and Japan is really struggling. still I hope for no surprise in this group, even though I usually cheer for underdogs but this time I hope Japan and Aussies make it for our own sake in case we finish 3rd in our group.

 

and it's hard to like Saudi Arabia, the most disgusting team in the world. :wacko: UAE is a likeable team though

Nah, the 4 teams are already decided. UAE or KSA don't have the level in the long run to push them out. I had hope for a new team with Uzbekistan but it seems they are also weaker than previous years. Probably the 5th team will lose to Honduras or something.

:ITA not good match for us (1st half :facepalm:) but at least we didn't lose (streak is  now at 52 qualifying matches, over 10 years). Little bit better the 2nd half, if we "playing"  we can reach good results. Spain was better than us, but we fightingt, as always, until the end!! :thumbup:

 

I think no one of Albanian people have ever dreamed a 1st place in front Italy and Spain :smoke:  But it's not a dream ...... :bowdown::ALB and :yes mr De Biasi

 

Asia: no surprises; despite Japan doesn't seem a strong team as past years (but is improbable that remains off from TOP 3)

 

South America: begin with the defeat of :CHI (4th lost) only 11pts at half of qualifying is not much, the WC 2018 is so fa away ........:cry:

    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
    • "Hey man, did you touch that rock?" "No, I didn't" "Are you sure, because it looked like you did. You're a good guy, but it looked like you did" "I promise you I didn't" "If you say so" "FUCK OFF!"   -Bad dude   "*mumble mumble* easy to make shots when you touch the stone *mumble mumble*" walks away "Who touched the stone?" Surprised Pikachu face "Who touched the stone?" Even more surprised Pikachu face "Fuck off"   -Not great, but understandable.    If you think someone cheated or made a mistake, talk to the official or confront them nicely. It's not like these guys don't know each other. It's not like Team Canada or Team Sweden hasn't been here before.   This can be turned around and put on the Swedes lashing out over being terrible their first three games. It doesn't appear anyone needs to cheat to beat them right now. 
    • Uf.  Finally managed to watch the last few skaters.  That was painful (Malinin + all the others...).  Happy for Shaidorov  .  He had a great skate.  Now off to nurse some wounds...   (Can we get a reverse upset and have Campbell Wright pull off a biathlon medal?)
