I thought it was a very relaxing anthem.

 

[sydmariner]

Is the Bangladesh national anthem the longest in the world?

I believe the Greek anthem has 158 verses in it.

Duke x 2 31-0 here we come!

 

[sydmariner]

Surely at some point we have to move on from Duke?

No, he’s just scored 2 goals in 2 minutes.

 

[sydmariner]

Mctappin.

 

[BrisRecky]

Well, this is a deadset rout ….pity fkn McTappin got on the pitch (wank)

 

[Hello Sailor]

Given our height advantage in the opposition box, we are putting are a lot of low crosses

These qualifiers would have been a great chance to lock in Mo Toure...

Good game to blood someone but also Duke leads the line for the winner of J2. Arguably as strong a league at the top as AL.

I only saw from 65mins but Miller has a good game

 

[Allreet?]

Miller did well against a super-minnow. Was surprised Strain didn't get the nod but happy for Mad Eyes Miller.

I am not a J Mac fan but he will score goals against minnow teams with the right service.Arnie knows that Duke is his go to striker but he also knows that the crop of young strikers-Borello( I know he is not that young but is not experienced at this level),Yengi,Botic,etc still do not have the sharpness of J Mac.If Duke was injured then he knows J Mac can do the business in these early rounds.There is plenty of time and matches for Yengi et al to be given their chance.Arnie is a cautious coach and likes young players to absorb the culture of the squad when they are first called up rather than throw them into the fray.

Big Lewis had a top game .His opponent was continually fouling him and I thought he might do something rash in retaliation but he held himself in check.He worked well with Metcalfe who is a busy player and who also had a good game.

Palestine in Kuwait might be more of a handful for all sorts of reasons.

I cant believe how much space they gave him all night, nearly always unmarked out wide and always caused them issues

I was saying the same to Mrs Allreet. He won't get that space against teams that know how to play football.
