2026 World Cup Qualifiers

Norway giving Italy a spanking. 3 up at the break and crushing in the second.

Italy haven’t appeared at a World Cup since 2014 and no knockout game since they won in 2006. Mad.

Having a top striker like Sorloth is a huge thing at international level.

The Jockos lost 3-1 at home to Iceland. The useless bastards

Not a World Cup qualifier.

Ah that’s grand so.

It’s buckfast season in Scotland.

The twin Irish capitals of Buckfast are Galway and Armagh, most especially Lurgan. The two counties play off annually for the Buckfast Quaich, an item of silverware which is at stake again next Saturday.

I’ve attended two Armagh matches and one Galway match in the last month and disappointingly I didn’t see one bottle of Buckfast at either.

Belgians 2-0 up on Wales already.

The left back De Cuyper was outstanding for Club Brugge at Celtic Park in the CL last season & I stuck him on my imaginary “one to watch” list. Nice assist there for Tielemans

3-0. Doku.

Wales finding their mean

A sobering half for the lads who were hyping up Craig Bellamy’s managerial record off the back of a couple of decent Nations League results.

Penalty for Wilson on the stroke of half time. 3-1.

A VAR check but assuming it stands then Wales are right back in this game at 3-2.

This is a right good game.

Belgium could have a few more but Wales are having a real go.

3-3!

This aged well

That’s an extraordinary comeback. I’m starting to buy into the Craig Bellamy hype.

They’re still going for it.

Belgium looking very lethargic with likes of De Bruyne & Lukaku flagging.

That said, Wales could overcommit & get caught on the counter.

Bellamy is a great sort
