@nocontextfm1 Spain can win the World Cup on Sunday with Oyarzabal up front. Ethos + a strong midfield and defence is far more important than a 9. It’s why England can’t make the final step so far
@madison_tayt Incredible to jump behind the ‘racism and classism’ defence considering the pig headed ignorance of your original post. Galaxy brain stuff

@GeorgeF70043352@Eyesandvibes That’s good George 👍 sorry the ‘ass chirp’ upset you so much that you felt you needed to lash out but hopefully you’ve calmed down now wee man ❤️
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan Alternative might be to amalgamate qualifying into NL completely and have 3 leagues of 18 with sliding scale auto qualification and play off reward but that’s one for another time probably
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan Just dunno what the alternative is? Reward Serbia as one of the best 3rd places for beating dross like Andorra/Latvia twice? Reward tier 1 NL teams who got battered most games in it? Sweden won their NL group above Slovakia who finished 2nd in qual so its swings & roundabouts imo
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan Yet to hear a viable alternative. I’ll offer one. The 4 extra places go to the 4 best performing 2nd place teams on PPG, meaning NI and ROI sit on the beach next summer. Cleaner than faffing with play offs. It’s all uefa fugazi that NI/ROI continue to benefit from. All the best
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan Again my point isn’t to do with the OP. NI see out a draw last Friday and luck doesn’t come into it so no complaints. My point is ROI fans can’t have an issue with the system when they’ve been happy to benefit from it before + can’t offer an alternative to NL teams being rewarded
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan Moot point as 12 groups with 16 uefa slots at the WC. 12x2≠16. Would make the NL basically pointless outside the top tier too. Hard to be lectured by ROI fans about benefiting from the ‘shambles’ setup when it was crickets in 2020 while they were benefiting from the same setup
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan As for the Sweden argument, what’s the alternative? Remove incentive for teams lower down the NL to perform to reward best 3rd places teams in qualifying like Serbia for beating Latvia and Andorra twice each? Fail to see how that’s better
@deankinsella88@na_croi@NornIronFan Don’t agree with the OP. Peacock Farrell doesn’t flap at a cross vs Slovakia and NI avoid this situation entirely. You make your own luck
