HaarDon Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Can you believe group J ? Mental. If anyone is doubting these fairly new nations arent good enough for international football then check it out.

In international football terms these teams are fairly new historically ok. You know exactly what I meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I just find it amusing that no one bats an eyelid when the Croatians beat the Germans (well not since 1998) but when their fellow former Yugoslav republic neighbours North Macedonia (previously FYR Macedonia) do it suddenly its a shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the score would have been if Germany had played the whole of Macedonia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia have established themselves as a fantastic team who have reached the final of a world cup and were the 3rd best team in the world once. Macedonia are notably a decent team but have never had a result of this magnitude therefore one could be surprised yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_widdows Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) And Yugoslavia were twice the 4th best team in the world (two world cup semi finals) and twice the 2nd best team in Europe reaching the european championship final twice. Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Slovenia have all played at major tournaments and North Macedonia will be at Euro 2020 this summer. Montenegro reached the playoffs for Euro 2012 losing out to another supposedly 'fairly new' country the Czech Republic Kosovo reached the playoffs for Euro 2020 losing out to North Macedonia. That part of the world has a proven record in international sport. Frankly its lazy and patronising to label any of the former eastern block countries as not good enough for international football. 7 world cups and 7 european championships since the break up of the USSR, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia . With the exception of Montenegro (2006) and Kosovo (2013) none of the countries from the eastern block are 'fairly new' to International Football Edited April 2, 2021 by tom_widdows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaarDon Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 What's lazy or patronizing? If you actually read what I wrote I was backing these nations. And it is an amazing result for North Macedonia to beat Germany. That's why it's called a shock result. I think it's lazy for you to not see my point.

tup1 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 No doubt McBurnie will be supporting England, he's said himself he can't be arsed with Scotland duty. Huns are bad for team morale so this is all good news for our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of chunts. Ferguson being the most over-rated shite ever in Scottish football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
