303abuser Probably not worse. I actually watched very little of the qualifying so hopefully I’m wrong, I just don’t see how we’re competitive in this game.

Whereas I watched all of it outside of the minnow teams like Bermuda and the like… Although to be fair, we’ve lost to those kind of sides in recent history too.

    alistair You wouldn’t want to pin your hopes on Michi either. Was shit in the prem

    loopdokter We played as well as we could have hoped in the first half, but it clear they have more talent at every position and tournament experience. The few qualifiers I watched looked like glorified mls matches.

      C_J yous were absolutely killing it until Loopy started giving it the big un! Textbook!

      Yeah, I’ve gotta cool the jets.

      I’m still happy with the half despite the late half goal from Belgium. It’s been promising so far.

      Are you watching the same game I am?!

        Former Irish international Kevin Kilbane is on our analyst panel and just said ‘we’ should have had a penalty. He’s married to a Canadian and lives outside of Toronto. …Says the man with an English accent who played for Ireland. I wonder what his mornings look like when he tries to figure out where he is. 😆

        Canada were absolutely murdering them, the Witsel foul was a cast iron penalty and Canada should score about 3 in the second phase!

          loopdokter Yeah. We played as well as we’re going to, they played as poorly as they’re going to, and we’re losing. Our defense has been pretty poor on the counter and we don’t look like we have a natural forward. Like I said, very happy to be proven wrong.

          My soccerball detector just blew up

          Wally Loopy laughing with his mates ‘well at least we’re not going to get beat as bad as that’ before nervously looking around and sighing.

          I’m not going to say never, but based upon the first half…

          We’ll leave it at that.

          The Qataris are clearly on side with the Canadian side. The Weeknd’s ‘Blinded By The Light’ was blaring at half.

            …equalisation goalshot in the 2nd semi-phase Loopstick?

              mono-stereo You never mentioned this, do tell us more?

              Did I ever tell you about that one time at band camp when…

              Twas deffo a pen, but the numpty who took it wants a slap, jesus

              Davis has a habit of holding on to the ball too long and losing it
