That's a red
FMD
Hey kris griffiths-jones - that's a red card!!!
That's a terrible tackle. Third worst tackle I've seen this week, behind georgevski's and boogard's.
Did he just run about 80m to put that in?
Harry Redknapp should retire

What has Redknapp achieved in the UK?..... Not much really.....Quote:

That's Jordan punted into touch by my calculations lofl
Oo are ya?
Would rather Jordan in the top 12 thought tbh. Reckon they'd be a 6pointer 2nd time around.
China...tough assignment away.

Based on current seedings, we won't be going to the Azadi...
Pick yer group of 6 people: Cruiser and banana skins
How did Carney go?
Kruse - Best of ground. Great to see him back at his best form, such a valuable player for our national team. Back to getting the shit kicked out of him too!
Mooy - Most important player we have right now, when he went off our game definitely dropped. I do agree his set pieces don't seem as good as his serves in A-League.
Cahill - Barely got the ball but was good when he did and worked as hard as ever, hard to not love the guy!
Rogic - Was hot and cold, did some brilliant stuff but also gave the ball away a bit. Can shoot though, that's for sure!
Risdon - Terrible with the ball in the first half, got better as the game opened up but his delivery was not great and seemed rushed
Smith - The guy was great again, left back is his spot to lose now. He is strong and fast and doesn't mind getting stuck in a bit
Milligan - Same old, same old. Always does the job he needs to.
Sainsbury/Wright - Both solid but weren't really tested much. I quite like the combination.
Ryan - Again, didn't have to do much but the only reason anyone could not like him is that he used to be a Gypo.
Leckie - Had a terrible game, his touch was bad and gave the ball away consistantly. Also went missing in the second half, much like he did in the first game. I am one who does like Leckie but he seems out of form and just doesn't seem to be able to fulfill his potential at national level. Burns seems a better option at the moment.
Umm the rankings don't get done for this until next weekQuote:

The other thing is too I believe there is an element of luck FIFA I know 5 5 5
But a draw has to be done.
So we are no certainty to not play Iran.
Judging by my guess UAE will probably be the side we can't play as we will most likely go into the same pot as them as we will more than likely be the 5th and 6th ranked teams
That also being said how much they want to tweak things remains to be seen
We are Asian Champions and WC Qualifiers the last two times. Does that help with the usual manipulation to protect the bigger sides
As long as we not fraw Sth Korea and Japan in the same group
Can see that happening though as the power is in the West of the AFC
Other than Japan Korea we should easily beat all those teams at home
Just a matter of picking up some points on the road and we should be through
That being said. Asian Confederation is average.
If we can't finish top 2 next round we don't deserve to go the World Cup
If pots based on current ranking:
Best: Japan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Irak, Thailand
Worse: Japan, South Korea, Uzbekistan, China, Syria
But doubt AFC / FIFA would have Japan, China, South Korea, Australia in same group
On a sad note the Great Leader will not feature in Santo Sam and Ed !!!!!
FFS how can Saudi Arabia and UAE be in front of us in FIFA ranking????
Because their ranking number is lower than ours and just like in golf the lower the number, the better it is.Quote:

The question I'd as is who are West Asian teams like KSA & UAE playing and beating to be ranked higher than us?
It's the seeding that's go me stumped in this process. Wiki on this page have us ranked 2nd based on expected points come April 7th.
*Wiki cover their @rse here.Quote:
AFC Team Seedings Expected 7 April 16
After completion of all matches in round 2 of AFC World Cup qualification the following are the expected rankings order of AFC teams for round 3 based on expected points. (Values in brackets are the expected FIFA world ranking points. *Estimated world rankings are not possible to determine due to other international matches still to be played).
And how's FIFA and the Kuwait clusterf**k?
You think they'd get this sorted before this stage of the game. We're now 8 days out from the 3rd round draw.

On 16 October 2015, FIFA announced that the Kuwait Football Association (KFA) was suspended with immediate effect, following a decision from the FIFA Executive Committee that sports law of Kuwait had to be changed before 15 October. The Myanmar vs Kuwait match, scheduled for 17 November 2015, was not played due to that suspension, and on 13 January 2016, FIFA decided that that match should be forfeited by Kuwait, and awarded as a 3–0 win for Myanmar. The Kuwait vs Laos and South Korea vs Kuwait matches, scheduled for 24 and 29 March 2016 respectively, did not take place as scheduled. Further decision is to be taken by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.
