Cor it'll be hard to follow that summer of international football, the greatest Euros ever! Portugal beat France to win the Euros congratulations Portugal Hal Robson Kanu did this and Wales became the 3rd best team in Europe, well done guys i knew you had it in you!! and Iceland beat England in the second round of the Euros and England appointed Sam Allerdyce as manager Chile won the Copa America, beating Argentina on penalties in the final. congratulations Chile Messi missed his penalty, retired from international football, then changed his mind a little bit later. ======================= Qualification for Russia 2018 ======================= UEFA begin the qualifying campaign for Russia 2018 this season, the rest of the world stretch it out over 4 years or something wtf so everywhere else is already halfway through theirs. Here's a handy continent by continent guide to qualification for Russia 2018 Asia (4 and a half places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_AFC_Third_Round Two Groups. Top 2 from each go through automatically, 3rd in both groups play off against each other to go to the inter-continental play off against the 4th team from North America. Group A: Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, China, Qatar, Syria Group B: Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Thailand Africa (5 places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CAF_Third_Round Straightforward this. Five Groups, and the winner in each goes through to the World Cup. Group A: Tunisia, Libya, Dr. Congo, Guinea Group B: Zambia, Cameroon, Algeria, Nigeria Group C: Gabon, Mali, Ivory Coast, Morocco Group D: Senegal, South Africa, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde Group E: Ghana, Egypt, Congo, Uganda North America (3 and a half places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CONCACAF_Fourth_Round https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_CONCACAF_Fifth_Round At the moment they're in round 4. There's 3 groups of four, and top two go through to the final round of qualifying. Group A: Mexico, Honduras, Canada, El Salvador Group B: Costa Rica, Panama, Jamaica, Haiti Group C: Trinidad, Tobago, United States, Guatemala, Saint Vincent, The Grenadines (6 teams in this group for some reason) South America (4 and a half places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(CONMEBOL) Bit of a scam the South Americans have going here, 4 and a half places out of 10 get through to the World Cup. It's easier to qualify for this than it is to get to a 24 team Euros!! Group A: everyone They've already started the group and Brazil are outside the qualification places hope they dont go through haha Oceania (half a place) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_%E2%80%93_OFC_Third_Round They're in round 3, two groups of three, winners play-off to get to the inter-continental play-off with the 5th best team in south American qualifying. Group A: New Zealand, New Caledonia, Fiji Group B: Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tahiti U E F A (the best one) (13 places) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA) Nine groups of 6. Winners go through automatically. 8 best runners-up go to playoffs. I've bolded the 4 best teams in Europe. Group A: Netherlands, France, Sweden, Bulgaria, Belarus, Luxembourg Group B: Portugal, Switzerland, Hungary, Faroe Islands, Latvia, Andorra Group C: Germany, Czech Republic, Northern Ireland, Norway, Azerbaijan, San Marino Group D: Wales, Austria, Serbia, Ireland, Moldova, Georgia Group E: Romania, Denmark, Poland, Montenegro, Armenia, Kazakhstan Group F: England, Slovakia, Scotland, Slovenia, Lithuania, Malta Group G: Spain, Italy, Albania, Israel, Macedonia, Liechtenstein Group H: Belgium, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Greece, Estonia, Cyprus, Gibraltar Group I: Croatia, Iceland, Ukraine, Turkey, Finland, Kosovo ============================== International football breaks 2016-17 ============================== 29 August - 6 September 3 - 11 October 7 - 15 November 20 - 28 March 5 - 13 June African Cup of Nations (Gabon) 14th January - 5th February Confederations Cup (Russia) 17th June - 2nd July CONCACAF Gold Cup (hosts TBC) 9th - 30th July Here's the all-important fifa rankings I love international footy!!!

That island's like 6 miles wide; not a whole lot that's not seaside. The team (well, anyone flying in, really) has to change planes in Barbados because SVG lacks an airport with a runway that can handle a 737 or otherwise typical commercial jet

International football sucks when the domestic seasons are finally back in gear. But hey, Ozil finally got the number 10 from Podolski's cold, dead, thumbs up hands.

Took my son to see Norway - Belarus because we got some free tickets. It wasn't worth the price. Martin Samuelsen keeps showing promise, and can actually create something, but the rest of the team is bad, really bad. Can't wait for them to play Germany on sunday. That won't be one-sided at all.

This is such an attacking midfield and would be great if our best forward wasnt just a winger out of position

It's nice to see that we're keeping teams that aren't utter shithouse too far under the cosh to attack, but the lack of cutting edge is still so loving frustrating
