Out of the crap teams missing the World Cup, which one humours you the most?

[Saint Domingo]

All the home nations. We get a break from all the political correct pundits telling us we need to get behind their bang average dross sides whilst fans of those countries spend their time singing anti England songs. The Irish/Welsh/Scottish fans are not ‘special’ they’re exactly the same as all other fans except they follow shambolic sides. The tournament will be no worse off for not having them there. In fact apart from the pc brigade in the British media I don’t think anyone in world football will remotely care that they are not there. The Irish have been probably the most unimaginative international side at both of the last euros. Scotland would be equally as negative and boring if they ever made it. Compare and contrast with the likes of Costs Rice and Algeria who were great at the last World Cup.

I would like to see a British Superteam made up of all the best players at the next world cup. Oh wait a second, we are. Bale apart, very poor from them.

I can literally not name a current Scottish player other than Naismith. Republic has a couple I know, and I'm not sure about the Northern Irish team either. Wales, I reckon I could pick out Bale and Williams. So exactly not very much in terms of top level quality. When all is said and done, their national anthems need to be changed to a comedy trombone noise.

Then I think about Gareth Southgate, and I think we need to change our 1st kit to beige, and 2nd kit to grey and our 3rd kit to beige with grey pinstripes. Ugggh. What a rubbish team.

Ramsey and Davies get into the England team and Joe Allen probably makes the bench.

Hahahahaha no.

 

[larrygobfiend]

There's something very Tory about supporting England.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Hahahahaha no.

Yet this is an England team that have given starts to Winks, Henderson and Livermore in the last few games. Yes you are right they are truly blessed.

 

[Lee Smith]

Out of those 4 "British" teams you list together, only 2 are British...

Anyway, Italy for me!

Giving starts and being "best players of" are different things though?

I mean, Gethin Jones was recently called up for Wales so by your own measuring stick he's now the best possible defender. Or that midfielder who plays in League 1, who actually apparently got a start for some reason.

Also I'm not even English ffs. I'm going to laugh at them too.

I agree but that only applies to Winks, Livermore and Henderson are permanent fixtures by the look of things. They are not significantly better than Allen especially in a side going forward. It is not as laughable as you might think.

Yeah mate the Welsh Iniesta innit.

Dreadful, all 3 of the mentioned.

Don't get me wrong i don't rate him that much, but without Barkley/Wilshire/Alli involved I think there is room for a simple tidy footballer. So you are right I made a boo when I said he gets on the bench, imho he gets on it now due to the players that are missing.

Sure Republic Of Ireland are rubbish, but they do have great fans to be fair.They get praise for their behaviour wherever they go.As for your point about shambolic sides.A so called shambolic Wales side did do better than England at Euro 2016.Northern Ireland for example beat England, the last time the two countries played each other.

 

[cpfc1905]

the correct answer is the lesser British teams. Had their fun in France but it's back to watching the English scum mix it with the big boys. Know your place you plucky no marks

shoutout to Scotland for not even qualifying in 19 years

Holland.

On account of Ray Atteveld, Van the Man, Royston Drenthe, John Heiginga and Ronald flaming Koeman.

I'd add Frank de Bore just for curing insomnia when I watched his press conferences
