RideTheSpiral posted:yeah its in the middle of europe and asia but not really part of either. they have to play somewhere Iirc, they had a choice and chose to be a part of UEFA because then they would occasionally play against teams with decent players, which they wouldn't have in Asia. Which is understandable.

Transcontinental countries should be allowed to be a part of all the continental confederations they can be a part of, and put up national teams for all of these competitions. And all the butthurt small countries* should have thought about not conquering a shitton of uninhabited wasteland on a neighbouring continent before drawing a line where they did. *A waiver is in place for Canada, they have a lot of snowy uninhabited wasteland. They may complain.

sassassin posted:Based on their euros they're the only country that isn't doping. It's more like football is the only sport where Russia isn't doping. They got burnt on that over 10 years ago. If they were doping, they wouldn't have been as poo poo as they were on the euros.

jyrka posted:Nope. Apparently the rule is "Play-off match(es) on neutral ground (if approved by FIFA Organizing Committee), with extra time and penalty shoot-out if necessary". No clue how they'd organise a six team play-off though. Huh, I checked the regulations and you're right. I could've sworn there were tournaments that had the ranking/pots bullshit tiebreaker criteria

Simone Poodoin posted:I really want Ureņa to score in his old city, even though he barely played I heard him on an interview and he sounded pretty comfortable speaking Russian, so at least he learned something. He was playing for the bitter rivals of the team whose stadium they're playing in, so it would be hilarious. However bad Salvatierra and Venegas are, the Russian garbagemen are worse (although, to be fair, none of them are playing in the MLS, so that's gotta be worth something). nutri_void fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Oct 9, 2016 |

The worst thing about supporting Russia is that you know that they can do things like this when they want to, they just barely ever do.

That's all set up so that Russia can win the opening game and doesn't have to lose miserably to Uruguay or lose miserably to Salah alone By the way Russia won't reach the round of 16 from that, Uruguay and Egypt will

Also I'm pretty sure Saudi Arabia has black players
