Yep, I agree fully. Admittedly I'm one of those who thinks that unless FIFA makes some transparent reforms pretty damn quick, we should boycott future World Cups and bring back the Home Championship instead, but that's unlikely, sadly.
Really got high hopes for next year's Euros though, regardless of how England do. Twenty-four-team tournaments are always more interesting than thirty-two-team ones because the group stages become much more competitive, weaker teams knowing that just one win will give them a better chance of progressing than playing for draws or damage limitation, etc. Looking forward to it.

Incredible night's football! Norn Iron have booked their place in France, a Shane Long goal gives the Republic a win against the world champions and guarantees them at least a playoff place, and Scotland come within seconds of completing mission impossible but piss it all away with the last kick of the game. The England match has got a lot to live up to tomorrow
RE: About Time - Arcane Astral Aeons - 08-10-2015
credit and massive credit to Northern Ireland
outstanding achievement
Rebublic beating Germany has just about made my day
what chance of a win in Poland
and automatic qualification?
tonight belongs to the North
France here we come

If I am reading the rules right, if Germany lose to Georgia (unlikely I know!!) on Sunday and the Republic and Poland draw then the Republic would finish ahead of Germany!! With Iceland and NI already through and the likes of Wales and Albania looking likely to qualify, there are going to be a few traditional minnows at this tournament!!

As I understand it, a 2-2 draw or higher will also see you through at Poland's expense. Attack, attack, attack attack attack!

Bah humbug warning. Thanks to FIFA and various of its officials around the world creaming off millions and feathering their own nests, plus the patently-obviously (to me, anyway) rigged 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes, and Sepp Blatter's complicity in all of it, I have no faith and little interest in European and world football competitions. Oh, and plus the fact that England, captained by someone on £300,000 a week but who will forever be unable to lace Bobby Charlton's boots, are always shit in the finals and a complete irrelevance when it comes to actually winning anything.
RE: October Internationals Thread - Arcane Astral Aeons - 10-10-2015
and we have the welsh in france
well done the welsh
damp squib with them losing
so pleased for them
RE: October Internationals Thread - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 10-10-2015
Great scenes in Zenica. Bosnian fans giving Wales a standing ovation, the Welsh players celebrating with their supporters. Stuff like this is why I can't hop on the cynical, apathetic "FIFA have wrecked everything" bandwagon. Football can still be an inspiring thing when it's done right.
RE: October Internationals Thread - Arcane Astral Aeons - 10-10-2015
