Blimey. Ranieri's Greece lost 1-0 to Faroe Islands!

They are rock bottom in their group right now. Unbelievable.

Ranieri has been sacked.

4-0 only VS Gibralrar??!! We are witnessing the downfall in the German NT already and it hasn't been 6 months since they won WC.

+ozil, lahm, bastian, hummels....

Faroe islands - first victory since they were Danish colony.
Did n't even know they were playing. Switched on after someone wrote in facebook something about Greece being down.

I expected Greece to equalise so I could back them for the win in the last minutes, but they did not even create a chance.
Utter morass.

Bye Bye Advocaat.

+ozil, lahm, bastian, hummels....

Hummels played in the Poland and ROI games, where Germany lost easy points. Lahm has retired. Ozil was poor for Germany in the WC tbf and we all know how he plays at Arsenal. Bastian is the player Germany have been missing tbh but Basti only has 1 more tournament left in him before he has to retire from International.

The point being is, Germany's young talent currently is far below what you would expect from Germany, the world champion and a team that has won 4 WCs before. Bellarabi, Kramer, Draxler, Durm, Rudiger, Mustafi, Ginter, Hector, Kruse are all poor, they are not Germany level players. The only good young player Germany have produced in past few year is Gotze.

Clyne has shown more in his first 20 or so minutes in an England shirt than any other RB in the same position for the country in a long time. Should be his spot now.

Roy Hodgsons such a poor manager it's pain full. England haven't been great for years but it has never been this bad, he is utterly clueless.

If the FA insist on having an English manager then Big Sam should get the job.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,769]

Damn we're losing

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,769]

well that was a quick reply lol.

Fucking hell...

When is Capello getting the sack?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Carvajal, Azpi, Moreno, Gaya, Bernat, Alba. Spain has shitload of quality fullbacks for next 10 years. It will be interesting which two make biggest legacy there.

When is Capello getting the sack?

Apparently, the Russian FA haven't been able to pay Capello's wages for some time now. So, I doubt they would sack him at the moment and force themselves to fork out the cash to pay the compensation.

Possibly. Heard some people were saying Russia not paying Capello is a tactic to get him to resign, as if you notice, Russian FA haven't paid Capello since he crashed out of the World Cup group stages.

It's shocking but, well, not so much if you are familiar with the situation about the people in charge of our federation here the last couple of years. This has now become officially our worst ever national team. We had it coming now for some time.

Actually, the fact that Ranieri agreed to deal with our mission impossible is just beyond me.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Belgium vs Wales and Italy vs Croatia should be an interesting matches

@manpe, San Marino 0-0 Estonia
