FIFA 2018 World Cup Thread

Roy Keane was our manager in 2002?

You’re missing the joke mate.

Steve Staunton is the new Spanish manager.

Spain It’s all speculation, but… it now sounds like Lopetegui is staying, thanks to a successful intervention from Nobel Peace Prize winner Sergio Ramos.

Roy Keane didnt manage Ireland in 2002.

Neither did Mick McCarthy as it turned out.

Oh my.

Spain have a history of imploding at major tournaments.

Three recent major tournament victories cannot change DNA.

Spain This is an astonishing development, just 29 hours before the start of the World Cup. To compound matters, it sounds like the players were strongly against the move. But the former Hamilton Academical defender Luis Rubiales, now Spanish FA president, was not for turning.

Silly man.

Why not wait until after the tournament? It was like waving a red rag to a bull.

This Luis Rubiales fella has a touch of Basil Fawlty about him I suspect.

Reaction from the Brazilian camp

Wikipedia says some chap called Pablo Sanz is the Spain assistant coach. He doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page.

Sergio Ramos will step forward and lead .
