International Friendly Post Match?

Weird friendly. The World Cup is some load of bollox if Ireland goes out and beats these and Canada next week. Slight forgiving nature in me for the performance. But.......BUT these lads were poor. How are we not hammering them? Cut them open twice in the first ten minutes.

If you were in charge of Fifa the World Cup would be just Europe and South America based on that logic. The vast majority of European teams would beat Qatar and a large chunk of the teams that have qualified. But that's the World Cup structure.

Nah the World Cup was absolutely fine at 32 teams. No issue with that. Expanding it added a ridiculous level of non-competition. Having three hosts take up three spots is also ridiculous.

Agree 100% with that. 32 was perfect!
