The International Football Thread

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Wait there has Portugal ever won anything internationally in its history ? Diddly squat ?

Good enough to beat you

Bit of a role reversal here -

Klaus Eder, physio, suffered a torn muscle fibre and a fractured finger while running on to the pitch to treat Marcel Schmelzer.

Now to put his own advice into practice. get well soon.

Did anyone watch Suarez for Uruguay, what a cheat, I cannot stand him he is such a knob and to be honest I wish he left the premier league so I dont have to see his C*ntish face ever again.

The Czech Republic is awful.

Only Cech and Gebre-Selassie are worth much. Rosicky hang your head in shame

I really feel sorry for Cech because he is a top goalkeeper but with this team he will never achieve big things on the national level.

Where have all those Czech footballers gone ?

I remember, Czechs used to be a very decent team. Suddenly in the last few years, there is hardly anyone on their team to write home about.

I do not see Hazard on the Belgium´s team at all.

We used to have a brilliant team a couple of years ago but that was really golden generation. Nedved, Poborsky, Galasek, Koller are all gone, they will never be replaced. Not to mention the fact that the current team and youth are beyond woeful.

Yes, I can see it. The current Czech team could not beat Asian all stars.

The Zambian FA have announced that they will face Brazil in Beijing, China on October 15. Brazil also face South Korea on October 12.

Oh joy. Long travel for the Brazilian lads for pointless friendlies in mid-season.

Pretty horrible situation for Klaus. It was mighty sweet of the players to escort him off the pitch. Ozil even posted get well wishes on his facebook

Those guys were beasts in PES 6 back in the days, Baros and Rosicky too. Liked Koller especially, huge dude.

Every single cross was a danger, wasn't it? With Koller up front, heading every ball Sad times for Czech football nowadays. Only Plzen make the Czechs proud, apart from Petr Cech obviously.

No, what's that clown up to now?

Liverpool forward Luis Suarez has been the subject of huge criticism in Peru for his antics in Friday night's game between Peru and Uruguay.

Uruguay were 1-0 up through a Suarez penalty when Yotun Flores tried to tackle the Kop favourite from behind in first-half stoppage time.

The forward went to ground easily, starting an on-field melée before Yotun was inexplicably sent off for violent conduct.

The Uruguayans went on to win 2-1 , virtually ending any realistic chances that Peru had of qualifying for next summer's World Cup in Brazil.

Thanks Meera for putting this up, now I don't need to explain too much, the only thing I would add is he was awarded a penalty before this incident and the reason the player from Peru acted the way he did was due to the fact that Suarez was diving all game.

Bored out of skull with all this international football...roll on Saturday.

Weird how Bosnia are playing Slovakia again, didn't they play em just a couple days ago? Anyway i hope Bosnia get some payback, they need this win.

As for us, i don't think we have a hope in hell of winning if i'm honest.

[Special Juan 27,439]

I have no idea what the score will be but what I do know is Gerrard will lauded whether we win or not just purely based on his 40 yard cross field balls and how hard he fires a pass in.

Yeah, they did. And they lost when it mattered, as per usual lol.

Looks like Switzrland will be the first to make it to the WC.

EDIT: On closer inspection, they'll only be the first if Iceland and Albania draw. But they're as good as there.
