The playoff ties in general have been bad. It kind of makes sense that the ones where teams have to travel thousands of miles would be pretty negative, the European ones should be better.

You're surprised that a match involving Ireland is negative? The team that started timewasting after 5 minutes?

I mean not really surprised. Playing for 0-0 has made sense for each one of the underdog sides. Sweden caught a nice break, but otherwise it has probably gone how you would expect.

Spain is loving us up and I'm glad, we need to gently caress up the friendlies so the guys are not overconfident at the world cup.

I didn't know Marc Wilmots was the coach of Cote D'ivore until now, that explains that then. What a clown.

Please can we just start the tournament without any of these scrubs?

I can't imagine how the WC will be improved by the participation of any of the playoff countries. Other than possibly Italy, and I'm only kind of pulling for them because gently caress Sweden.

In retrospect, Hans the Groundskeeper thinks to himself that adding chocolate to the pitch fertilizer may have been a mistake.

Sommer is so bad at clearing high balls, thank god for Rodriguez.

Also lol at Seferovic getting salty because people booed him for being crap. Embolo is pretty good, but Seferovic makes him look like the son of Messi and Pele

He sucks but at the same time he's among the best strikers Switzerland has when Embolo is not fit. I prefer Dzemaili but he was playing in the midfield today

I could do better than what he is doing. Seriously.

Why the gently caress is Gabbiadini taking corners? Among other things?

I almost want Sweden to win at this point.

gently caress it, I want Sweden to win. Not like Italy is gonna call up Chiesa anyway, and less chance for Bonnuci to rub off on Astori.
