Russia 2018 World Cup - AFC Qualifiers

[MFKS]

if feminists cared about sport this would be world outrage. lol on.

Feminists or leftist apologists??

Was hammered by a whole heap of those trendy hipster lefty clowns at Flinders St Station at the weekend.

The ****s were carrying on about wanting to stopping racism in Melburn

When pestered by one of the try hard do gooders I asked them exactly how they actually plan on controlling the thoughts and opinions of the entire population to fit into their little narrow view on the world

When he struggled to answer this I then suggested that they may as well start wearing swastikas and start worshipping the Nazis as those guys were at least half way there to achieving what these lefty hipster clowns wanted

Bloke was not impressed

[q-money]

who in their right mind would actually talk to you on the street though

oh wait

Interesting use of the word narrow there Membz

Interesting use of the word narrow there Membz

Not aimed at those that are racist but at the at the leftist apologists who have their opinions and seem to think everyone else should follow suit. Some of the most narrow minded ****wits on the planet in this lot and that includes overtly religious types.

[MFKS]

Have heard the draw for Rd 1 is on tomorrow

[plague]

Interesting use of the word narrow there Membz

Why is it an interesting use of that word?

[Retro Jet]

Out of interest with some different opposition for a change (and safety for the boys....), I'd like any of these:
P2 = Vietnam (only non Gulf/Mid East team here)
P3 = India or Maldives
P4 = Timor-Leste, Myanmar or Bhutan
P5 = Bangladesh

PS How the fook is DPR Korea seeded that low in Pot 4 ffs? Have to be stronger than Vietnam??
FIFA ranking???

[MFKS]

Apparently Live Draw on Fox Sports News at 7:28pm tonight

group b

jordan
kyrgzistan
bangladesh
tajikistan

[boz-monaut]

it would be good if we could win that group

also we should probably find out where some of those places are

[lquiquer]

Ask Borat......

[MFKS]

I think we should be winning it comfortably. If Jordan are the best side in it other than the away game in Jordan we should have little issues as we should pump Bangladesh home and away The Stans may present an issue away but we should get by them at home we should deal with them as they will struggle with the travel

Jordan we pumped at home in WCQ last time and they didn't have the mentality to deal with us

[boz-monaut]

I think it would be silly to fly anyone from Europe for any of these games

[Retro Jet]

I think it would be silly to fly anyone from Europe for any of these games

I also think it would be silly if given the location of the Stans to each other that some teams were drawn to play the two away games at the same week
(not necessarily us) in Bishkek & Dushanbe when a 2 match break is given.
FIFA dates this year are: 8-16 June, 31 August - 08 September, 05-13 October, 09-17 November.

The fixtures have already been set.

We start with a bye then away in Kyrgyzstan in June then in September Bangladesh in Perth and then a few days later away at Tajikistan
Jordan away in October then Kyrgyzstan home and Bangladesh away a few days later in November then finish with Tajikistan and Jordan in Australia in March 2016

The first game in Australia is in Perth and tickets are on sale tomorrow. The other 3 games are TBA onvenue but would expect the likes of Newy to get a look in as they are gonna be a hard sell in the big cities with small ex pat communities so most likely we will see the FFA take the games to locations where the Socceroos will draw a crowd as no one gets to see them normally

[belchardo]

then in September Bangladesh in Perth and then a few days later away at Tajikistan

geez, that's about a 30 hour trip to the capital on Tajikistan. that won't be fun.

if you're interested, cheapest flights I found this morning were about $5,700 return from Sydney.

Not at this stage looking to do any away games.

Am though planning on getting to all the home games through Qualifying

Brisbane Melburn Sydney not much issue. Hopefully one in Newy and your half way there. A couple like Perth Adelaide should be a bit harder to sort but take 2 days Annual Leave and go

[pv4]

What's a return flight to Perth run you - $400 or so?

Thinking I'll hold off for east coast games. And if we draw lucky, an away game in the next round.

[MFKS]

If on sale under $280 to Perth via Sydney usually $139 one way
