I'm surprised in the sense that he's not the typical yes man the FA go after.

I wish Agent Tuchel all the best in his mission.

Its not the Public Executions you have to worry about, its the 'Alleys and Dumpsters' you've got to watch out for.

Being a Garbage Man in Riyadh comes with a lot of paperwork and an NDA.

And probably no pay because...slavery.

Croatia probably still qualifies for the quarters but that's a bad loss to Scotland

Nope. It’s a great win for Scotland who can still finish second in the group.

That's a big win for Tahiti, gets them into the semis and a good matchup against New Caledonia. The other semi is New Zealand against Fiji.

Winner of the tournament (huge favorites are NZ) go to the World Cup and the runners up go to the 6 team intercontinental playoff.

Former Belgium and Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld has said that he decided to end his international career after thinking he was "going to die."

"That's why I quit the Devils," he told Belgian media VRT.

"I couldn't sleep that night and went to the club early the next morning to do a strength session," he said. "Before I left, I took a caffeine pill because I don't like coffee.

"When I was in the car, my heart suddenly started beating at a rate of a thousand an hour. I thought: I'm going to have a heart attack. I'm done for, I'm never going to see my children again. I pulled over, walked into a furniture store and asked if they could call 911."

That sucks. Hopefully he's better now. Panic attacks suck.

San Marino! Beautiful little country, had a chance to explore and wander through it at 2:00am until sunrise a few years ago.

The only place that can top the ####housery in CONCACAF is of course, CONMEBOL.

Grounds crew ####ing with Brazil in stoppage time.

The UEFA World Cup qualifying draw will take place on December 13

Number of spots: 16

Format:
12 groups of 4 or 5
The 12 group winners qualifying automatically
The 12 runners-up go to playoffs where they will be joined by the 4 best Nations League group winners not in the previous 24.
There will be 4 playoff paths (2 semifinals and 1 final) to qualify 4 teams.

Quote:
Pot 1: France, Spain, England, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria.

Pot 2: Ukraine, Sweden, Turkiye, Wales, Hungary, Serbia, Poland, Romania, Greece, Slovakia, Czechia, Norway.

Pot 3: Scotland, Slovenia, Ireland, Albania, North Macedonia, Georgia, Finland, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel.

Pot 4: Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Belarus, Kosovo, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Cyprus, Faroe Islands, Latvia, Lithuania.

Pot 5: Moldova, Malta, Andorra, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, San Marino.
My favorite part of this is that San Marino is a group winner! They are 14th on the ranking list, ahead of Italy and Holland!

So if 10 teams (in bold above), Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, England, Norway, Wales, Czechia, Romania and Sweden all finish top 2 in their group, San Marino is in the playoffs! 2 wins away from the World Cup!
