Todays Games

65 minutes, 1-0 to Preussen. No floodlights, the batsmen would have taken the light by now.

Beer still excellent.

Update finished 2-0 in the gloom. Recommended.

 

Ireland 2 - 0 against Portugal keeping their hopes alive.

 

Good game. The difference between having to go to Hungary for a stoic 1-0 win or having to go there and batter them.

 

Ronaldo red. Absolute bants.

 

Jimmy Dunne coming on for the last 10 mins.

 

Ebs scored a belter for England tonight.....

 

Though you’d have thought it was a tap-in from Sam Matterface’s commentary.


In other QPR-ish news, Paal and Chery’s Suriname are close to qualifying. Hayden and Burrell (and Schteve’s) Jamaica look like having to go through a playoff as they’re currently below Curacao.

Shame about Norn Iron last night who will now be in the final pot for the playoffs.

 

NZ losing 1 0 to Columbia at halftime

 

Must be a conspiracy against him, surely it couldn’t be him ( the greatest player in mind ) throwing his toys out, again.
Love to see Roy Keane give him a pep talk.

 

Finished 2 1 to the drug lords

 

Fantastic game in Budapest. Ireland were losing 1-0 and 2-1 but came back to win 3-2 in the winner takes all game for who goes into the play off's, Fantastic hat-trick by Troy Parrott. Chuffed!!!!

 

I was doing a river dance in leprechaun fancy dress screaming for the Brits to get out by the end.

Didn’t deserve it based on the quality of play but did deserve it for Hungary being whinging bastards all game rather than finishing Ireland off when they could have easily.

Thought Manning made a big difference. Mental to play a crap centre-half in his place.

 

Great win for your boys!...

I bet those Magyars are sick as a Parrott...

 

They are gutted. Legs, arms everywhere. 5 goals for Parrott the last 2 games. Parrott is in tears getting interviewed.

Bring on the play offs.

 

Who are you talking about, "crap centre-half"? I assume you mean Scales? He happened to win the header at the end which lead to the winning goal. Thankfully, he wasn't crap then.

I agree that Manning made a difference. His crosses were quality.

 

He did win the header and was more at home in the middle but he’s never a wing-back. Seems a bit mad to not play Manning from the start. Doesn’t matter now.

 

A pretty underwhelming first half from England, two teams with nothing to play for really and it shows. A 0-0 wouldn't surprise...
