Other World Cup 2022 Qualifiers

Hard to believe Serbia could’nt qualify for Euro’s. Excellent team.

There is a clink there but they were brilliant tonight

He’s in the Huckerby zone. Class in the championship but struggles in the Premier League.

If he played for Man City he would score tonnes

I was thinking they could do worse than sign him in January. Would give them a serious extra option they don’t have right now.

He would be brilliant for any team that has lots of possession

Said exactly the same 3 years ago. Any of the big clubs could do worse than having him in their squad at least

Mitrovic would do untold in a league like Serie A.

Yeah. They’d love him at Lazio or somewhere like that.

Lazio love a Serb or four on their teams.

Knocking heads and banging in goals.

It was interesting that Mitrovic exploited the same right hand side of that Portuguese defence that collapsed so spectacularly against Germany in the Euros.

Yer man Santos has clearly run his course in charge of that Portuguese team.

However they probably have a justified gripe over the goal that wasn’t when they played in Belgrade, which would have won them the group.

Serbia’s manager is Dragan Stojkovic. It’s rare that a great player makes a good manager. There are few better things in sport than a gifted Balkan ball player. He was one of the very best. And that Yugoslavia kit :heart_eyes:

The best team at Italia 90 by a country mile imo

Trip to Belfast potential banana skin for the Azzuri?

More hijinks in Africa

The referee was clearly acting the Maguette.

It may not even have to be. Italy could win tonight and not win the group. Switzerland need to make up two goals on them, but also equal the total number of goals Italy score in the group.

Current goal difference is
Italy F13 A2
Switzerland F11 A2

1-0 to Italy in Belfast and 3-0 to Switzerland at home to Bulgaria would do it for the Swiss - who would progress on away goals in the head to heads.

But 2-1 to Italy and 3-0 to the Swiss would see Italy win the group.
