Road to Nowhere 2018

No, Dybala.

As Messi continues to be ineffective for Argentina, other players are being benched because managers are afraid Messi might get them sacked if they don’t pick him and try and continue to build the team around him.

People can be very slack in using correct terminology. The IFA were founded in 1880 and their national team Ireland are fielding international sides since 1882. Some purported edict issued by that bastion of corporate governance FIFA (founded 1904) in the 1950’s is of no consequence.

You can’t get dropped from a team you weren’t playing in mate.

If Messi’s “underperforming” apparently by putting 5 chances on a plate for teammates I’d love to know what Dybala was doing in the games before he got dropped last week

Harry Kane is English. Its his manager that’s from Argentina. He’s a long time retired from international football though. Effectively sent into international retirement by bringing down Michael Owen for the penalty that eliminated Argentina from the 2002 World Cup.

Mohamed Salah’s 95th minute penalty has sent Egypt to their first World Cup since 1990.

Strachan answered one question in his press conference and he said genetics was to blame. His players had better technique but they’re not big enough. Lunatic.

Scotland picked up 7 points from the 87th minute onwards against Top 5 sides in their group. Ultimately it was the two points that Harry Kane stole off them in the 94th minute that cost them. The home draw against Lithuania (notwithstanding the late salvaging of a point) didn’t help either.

Eire with a load of Englishmen plying for them, supported by pretend ira lads :joy::joy:

A hape of division 3 plastic paddies hoofing it up to Seamus ‘spud’ Murphy for an hour and a half.
