Germany could win with their B team. XD

The tournament? Hardly.

I feel bad for Scotland as I would have liked to see them in Russia, but what kind of excuse, Gordon Strachan? Come on, fam!

Are Argentina really not going to qualify? Yikes O.o

Still in mourning over Ghana, it's going to be painful watching bloody Nigeria there while we sulk at home :(

I was hoping Northern Ireland would get it together and level, but it was not to be.

The Netherlands will not qualify. I can already see Robben's devastated face. Geez - that country has a lot of great players, how could they NOT qualify? And then I think - right, Advocat is their coach.

"Joke image" does nothing to prepare you for what the picture is O_o.

is the wales game broadcast on the bbc? their commentators are always pretty good

[lady_teazle]

That "joke" image is .... weird. And in poor taste, after all the various killings & massacres here in the US and elsewhere. Idiot.

Lewandowski has yet to be able to drag his team anywhere near a title though. Ditto for That Guy. Ronaldo's the only one who's managed
it recently. I'm not criticizing - it's a mix of individual ability, the other ten guys, and general circumstances & luck.

What fun watching Germany win 5-1, even if it was Azerbaijan. Poor Azeri GK, he looked so depressed. :p

I'm thinking Egypt will be useless for the next week. :D

[connorblond]

It took CR7 several tries, so ... I think Lewa has some time left.

And Egypt. Not sure what to think of a country qualifying with that kind of politics. But then - they fit right in with Russia.
