Picks;
Switzerland take this one easily
Croatia, gotta have the checkered kits in the WC
Ireland bare knuckle brawl it through
Italy find a way to pull their head out of their asses (recent form) and go through

I'll take Switzerland, Croatia, Denmark, and Italy.
 
First legs for two of the UEFA spots begin today. Northern Ireland hosts Switzerland and Croatia hosts Greece.
 
man did not expect greece to collapse like that....thats over

N Ireland kind a bad call against them in that penalty though....even though swiss were better side but not by huge margins though

Switzerland is a team I can find myself rooting for in the World Cup. A very talented team that has a MLS'er that occasionally starts for them (Dzemaili started today).

To think that Italy’s hopes of not missing their first WC in like 60 years rests partly on the feet of Immobile is frightening.

First leg vs Sweden is today at 2:45

In addition to first leg of Italy and Sweden, the first legs of the inter-conference playoffs begin with Honduras hosting Australia and New Zealand hosting Peru.

Additionally, South Africa hosts Senegal. If Senegal wins, Senegal qualifies for the finals. If not, the qualifier in that group will be determined on Tuesday when Senegal hosts South Africa.

Ventura puts out poor lineups but Giovinco is not the answer to Italy's problems.

Giovinco is unequivocally better than Belotti and Immobile. If there was any doubt about that in anyone’s mind, this match against Sweden was confirmation.

Belotti missed a slam dunk road header and Immobile was missing in action again. He has NO CLUE on where he needs to be positioning his impish body.

I’m so ****** annoyed right now. I don’t even know what impish means but ****.


Darmian played very well, btw.

You must be very upset because these guys score significantly more goals than giovinco in a much harder defensive league.
 
Insigne should not have been on the bench, Balotelli should have made the team. Parolo has no place on the team. Barzagli too old. De rossi too old. Id make an argument you want Jorginho there simply for how well he links up with insigne. Italy has the players, Ventura is just too dumb and too racist to play them.

Italy for me is like the US. If they miss out, I wont be crying for them. They need a big shake up and missing out might force them to do something.

How the USA finished Honduras is baffling. They were rubbish against Australia.
