Raja Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Also, why is this the third international break after only 11 games. The next one is in March, why not spread them out, especially after a WC year. Yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Looks like Germany intends to end a bad year on a high note. 2-0 up against the Netherlands after 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Well done to the Dutch for coming back to score two late goals to draw the game and win the group. The Germans will be kicking themselves though. They were strolling through this game for 80+ minutes and missed a number of good chances to put the game to bed.

Corvinus85 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Can someone help me understand why the Netherlands was included in League A? They certainly showed they deserved to be there, but considering their most recent qualification campaigns, not sure they should have been there, ahead of other teams, like Denmark or Sweden. Was it just name recognition? Iceland, on the other hand, was included based on their Euro performance, and qualifying for the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 The countries were seeded according to their UEFA national team coefficients as it stood following the conclusion of the WC. The top 12 countries went into League A and the Netherlands were ranked 12th at the time. Iceland were ranked 10th, Sweden 17th and Denmark 22nd.

Consigliere Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Little Eibar handed out a footballing lesson to Real Madrid. Game ended 3-0 but it could have been a whole lot worse for Real. Modric and Bale were rubbish and Ramos and Varane were pants defensively as they have been all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Painfully boring game so far. Got City on in the background and they’re just carving West Ham apart. Sterling putting up poty type numbers so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad idea, if you end up comparing this City team to your own team. That leads more or less inevitably to frustration. Either watch them for entertainment value, as in how inept most of the other teams look against them, or when you want to see a rival (for you likesay, Everton or United) suffer. I am not watching EPL atm, but City's third was apparently a real beauty from Sterling (assist) and Sane (finish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty of a free kick from Trent. Pretty dumb from Hendo but it made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 A couple of goals to the good now despite another labored performance lacking any attacking spark. It’s a travesty that we’re only a couple of points off City considering the gap in quality in the past two months. Just hold on now to see out a tough away win.

If Liverpool's football is "toothless rubbish" then what United are playing can't even be called football. 400m spent to achieve United's worst start to a league season in 28 years. It's baffling how Mourinho is still even in the job - he's somehow managing to do a worse job than David fucking Moyes. Any top club would have sacked him already.

It's baffling how Mourinho is still even in the job - he's somehow managing to do a worse job than David fucking Moyes. Any top club would have sacked him already. Was about to ask, whether it's Piers writing, but then I realized, this year it's United and Mourinho, and not Arsenal and Arsene. But I can see how United are little reluctant to pull the trigger just yet. A new manager might want to spend big to overhaul the squad, and if a DoF is really coming in, then it might be better if he gets to pick a manager (or continue to work with Mourinho if he decides to (unlikely)), instead of grudgingly working with somebody recently hired by Woodward. But then again, a new DoF will probably want to spend some time at the club to get to know the inner workings, before he appoints a new manager. So, Mou might be around for a bit longer. And somewhere van Gaal must be having a good laugh at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And somewhere van Gaal must be having a good laugh at this. There's likely some clause in Mourinho's contract as United journos have reported that Mourinho has a say if a DoF is appointed and apparently his buddy and "yes man" Luis Campos is his preferred choice. That would explain why there has been no developments. Woodward is probably waiting until top 4 is mathematically impossible before sacking Mourinho - probably a clause limiting the payout for failing to get CL football like there was with Moyes.
