Is it fair Fifa made Ukraine travel to both Hampden and the Millenium stadium…why not a neutral stadium?

Ukraine were the away team in the draw I believe.

You argue for these being two legs like.

Commiserations to Ukraine, you were heroes tonight. You were the better team on the night, but unlucky.
Hope you win the war

Gutted it’s this World Cup. 64 years, isn’t it? And we’re going to fucking Qatar.

Proud of the boys, though. “Little old Wales in a World Cup, eh?”. :wales:

Congratulations to Neco Williams and former Liverpool players Harry Wilson, Joe Allen and Danny Ward for qualifying for Wales’ first World Cup since 1958.

Congratulations Wales! I was shouting at the tv for the last 5 minutes. See you in Qatar.
My heart went out to Ukraine though, they fought valiantly until the end. I hope they win the war.

Good to see Bale and Williams go true,

Ever the enigma, young Dutch, why’d you congratulate Gareth and Neco specifically, and not the others? Not even Joe or Harry?

No reason mate. I always liked Bale, well except for one match, and I forgot about the other 2. It is 1 hour later in the Netherlands as in the UK and a few more beers … :joy:

Bargain.

I know he’s a whiney little gobshite, but he’s wonderful to watch. He runs and runs and runs and runs and runs. He’s kicked down often, and contrary to popular opinion, he tends to bounce right back up. He’s little, and he’s fast, and he’s full of himself, and he’s always capable of something brilliant, and he plays like he enjoys it.

I think he’s a lovely player.

The problem is that very often he forgets to take the ball with him.

Neco had an odd game yesterday. There were moments of sheer class (I think it was the move that ended with Bale passing back to the goalie at the back post what should have been a goal started with really incisive play from neco in his own box), but it often looks hectic and out of control, and that feeling is only reinforced the times he tries stuff and it goes really badly. I still am really unsure what his level is going to be.

Australia beat UAE 2-1 to set up a play-off with Peru.
