    Cayman Islands v Canada is on @ 11pm for anyone who cant sleep and want to see how Liam Millar does...

    https://www.squawka.com/en/cayman-islands-vs-canada-live-stream-watch-online-world-cup-qualifiers-predictions/
    Not watching myself but its already 5-0 to Canada after just 32-mins - Millar has started the game and almost scored the fifth himself
    Considering he's an attacking player, he'd be disappointed to not yet be on the score sheet when the team has scored 5 goals!

    Must be nice having the luxury of playing in front of Alphonso Davies on that left hand side!

    6-0 at HT

    Canada obviously aren't a major football country, but looking at the other countries in their group (Canada's population is 38m), the opposition are

    Suriname - population of 576,000
    Bermuda - 71,000
    Aruba - 116.000
    Cayman Islands - 66,000

    11-0. Puts Bermuda’s result into perspective bearing in mind they were missing their best players. 
  • Could be worse... Could be Mongolia - I've heard that Genghis Khant believe it

    Fun fact for anyone needing a question for any Quizes they're doing; Mongolia actually scored the first goal in the entirety of the 2022 World Cup...

    Here it is for anyone curious... You might want to turn the volume down (very excited commentator)

    Norjmoogiin Tsedenbal (who is actually a Defender) the scorer for an even harder question...

    the last bloke who started the chant GIVE ME AN "N" must have been thrown out

    I like that mentality, scoring on 91, 92 & 93 despite already being 11-0 up heading into time added on.

    Amazed the ref just didn't end the game dead on 90.

  • Are there many other national teams who change the colour of their kit.like Portugal?

    It's not a huge change but they go from red to purpley & back again, I can't think of any others.
  • Qatar 1-1 Ireland at the moment after the latter went 1-0 up - Got a strong feeling that this is the closest Ireland will get to Qatar for this World Cup.
  • Oh dear Ronaldo!!... Fails to score in a one v one against Luxembourg

    Ronaldo moves to 103 international goals and has now scored an international goal for 18 straight years.

    Slightly less impressive is this stat: 10 of his last 14 international goals have come against Lithuania and Luxembourg.

    People go on about Messi not performing as well for Argentina but if they had to play minnows like the ones we get in European qualifying i'm sure he'd have a lot more goals.

    I watched the game. Jonny Williams came on on 78mins and in that short time made several incisive passes, one of which almost led to a goal. Wales were good value for their win, although if Schick hadn't been a silly boy it might have turned out differently.

    Williams is the type of player i think would've done well under Adkins.

    Positive chats, arm round the shoulder and i think he'd have thrived. Instead he got a few subs appearances, slagged off and then sold.

    We've definitely missed the quality he provided when on song. 

    He might be an idiot, but it would have been interesting to see Maddison under Adkins. If anyone could get his head straight it might be Adkins

    Ronaldo has a European Championship sitting on his mantle though.

    Ah yes... Just the one win in ninety minutes that tournament

    Had that been a standard Euros they wouldnt have qualified from what wasnt a difficult group

    Tell that to his trophy. 

    3 goals and 3 assists through the tournament.

    Bit hard for Messi to win the Euros though.

    Hasn't won the Copa America though. Which if you look at the teams involved is actually easier to win than the Euros.

    I actually watched the Mongolia v Japan highlights on youtube last night (how bored can you get in lockdown?). The goals were all okay, but the weird thing was the highlights contained a couple of centre pitch challenges that resulted in throw ins, and shots that went nowhere. With a 14-0 scoreline, I didn't expect to be treated to seeing how Mongolia won a throw in in their own half after 7 minutes with  the score at 0-0.
  • The Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands ffs.
    Call me a reactionary old fogey, but really, what has the competition come to?
    Do they play at the Robinson Crusoe Stadium?
    Is there a sponsors logo on their loincloths?
    Ridiculous!

    I don't think I've ever seen a side be so bad in front of goal and end up with 14 goals!

    I'm sure the football world will be gutted to see Bale taking out Kudela who then had to go off injured.
