who will host the 2022 world cup?

oh wow. i did not know about that. i wonder why they couldn't quarantine. or is it that they just didn't want to?

So are australia hosting the world cup or what

Walker/sterling use of the ball down that right is awful

There hadn't been a Scotland v Israel game for a couple of weeks so... it's obviously good that Scotland won but it would be nice to have the occasional comfortable victory.

scoring a last minute goal is still better than letting one in like previously tho, McTominay got that Man U extra time luck coursing thru his ... groin?

twas in this fixture that Robbie Fowler scored the greatest England goal of my lifetime. usually don't watch England but hoping for some dull echo of that glorious moment

picked a good one to watch

Group G is wild.

Norway failed to beat Latvia at home, so sit in third place on 18 points, behind Turkey on goal difference.

Netherlands were cruising to automatic qualification but have just conceded two goals in four minutes vs Montenegro, so they’re on 20 if it ends like this.

Norway play Netherlands in the last game. If they win, and Turkey beat Montenegro, Netherlands would be out.

Mitrovic has just scored, knocking Portugal down to the qualifiers unless they can equalise in the next two minutes.

lol, Italy. Should be 1-0 N.I.

They're heading for the playoffs, even if they win by a single goal now.

No easy games in international football.

Elsewhere, I'm faced with the possibility that Scotland might actually be quite good. However. Even though Adams scored (again) I still think we need a centre forward. We don't have really have any centre backs either but Clarke's main selling point is his skill at organizing defences.

No easy games in international football.

Mexico plays Canada in Edmonton tonight 🇲🇽🇨🇦

Edmonton is currently in the middle of a snowstorm that could get up to 8 inches by the afternoon.

Team Canada social media is making references to "Iceteca" lol

Cyle Larin is under the influence of being fucking awesome

Classic moment! #CANMNT pic.twitter.com/hPiK7t36Ag

I noticed some choice scorelines from last night's Women's World Cup qualifiers:

North Macedonia 0 Northern Ireland 11

Spain 12 Faroe Islands 0

Belgium 19 Armenia 0

Love those Wales kits from the late 70s, just a cloud of red gas

LOL at Archie Macpherson wittering on about an obvious penalty even after the slow motion replay clearly showed Joe Jordan punching the ball!

Belgium 19 Armenia 0

There's none of this, "Let's try not to embarass the opposition", nonsense in the women's game.

at least the the Republic of Ireland team eased off a bit when it got to 8-0

Kudos to Poland for sticking to their guns. Wonder if FIFA will suddenly grow a backbone?

"We are not interested in participating in this game of appearances. Our stance remains intact: Polish National Team will not play with Russia, no matter what the name of the team is," he said.

Italy out!

can we unban Dom for the evening pls

32 shots to 4 lol

canada!

Congrats leaves

crazy that we went from not even qualifying for the hexagonal for twenty years to this

Ghana through, Nigeria out.

Good, Ghana got robbed in the AFCON

Good to see Egypt out as well, tbh.

Senegal beat them in the inevitable shootout despite missing their first two penalties.

With a bit of an assist from the crowd

I mean, just look at this. Salah sails his penalty over… and surely anybody would, given the lasers.

why even bother with the red balls if you're going to pick them first and you know what they are going to say?

england / usa / iran / (wales / scotland / ukraine)

that is way too on the nose

canada has a chance to move on to the knockout stage. exciting.

thankfully we can all unite around the official wc anthem* - it’s a RedOne:

Trinidad Cardona, Davido & Aisha • Hayya Hayya (Better Together)

*pending a new version substituting Davido from non-qualifying Nigeria with a yet to be determined Ghanaian artist

Why not Cameroonian? They're in a group where anyone would dearly like to see them prosper too

USA vs Iran again! The last time was magical.

Nigeria lost to Ghana in their playoff

is one reason I made this jxke
