I heard a rumour that the coach/manager of the Canadian soccer team is a Newcastle fan and is from that area.

https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/john ... up-1543846

He was born in County Durham and worked for the mackams many years ago ...... after that you just need to get as far away as possible ......... and yer cant get much further than managing the New Zealand Womens team, followed by Canadian Women and now Canadian men

With a larger number of footballers boasting of double-barreled names, would it be possible to field a complete team of double-barreled ball biffers?
The attack and midfield would not be a problem, but the defence and goalkeeper might be rather difficult. I would just love to hear all of the foreign commentators trying to get theit tongue around 'and Smith-Rowe lays a fine pass to Hudson-Adoi who leaves it for Oxlade-Chamberlain who lays it off for Calvert-Lewin. By the time that they have got their tongue around that, the opposition have scored two goals and had a man sent off.

[stattointhailand]

Only if you allowed David De Gea as your goalkeeper.
Ok for wing backs Alexander-Arnold, Walker-Peters, Wan-Bissaka, plus others, but CB would be a big problem Troost-Ekong at Watford would need one of the Man City kids as a partner probably Mbete-Tatu

[caducus]

Sorry, but cannot allow De Gea. The first part of his name means 'of', and dammit man - he ain't even English

[tamada]

I reckon the longest name was Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink who played as a striker for Hull, Celtic and Netherlands.

[stattointhailand]

Celtic only signed him coz they thought they could make money on his shirts by charging per letter to have it printed

[stattointhailand]

You didnt say they had to be English

Have to play Wan - Bissaka in goal then coz there aint any more English or not playing in the Prem League

The complete draw is as follows:

Group A: Qatar (hosts), Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador
Group B: England, United States, Iran, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine
Group C: Argentina, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia
Group D: France, Denmark, Tunisia, Peru/Australia/UAE
Group E: Spain, Germany, Japan, Costa Rica/New Zealand
Group F: Belgium, Croatia, Morocco, Canada
Group G: Brazil, Switzerland, Serbia, Cameroon
Group H: Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea, Ghana

Hard to see little England getting out of the Group stages.

[stattointhailand]

No harder than seeing tiny Scotland manage to get INTO the group stages

Sheilas had a great win in the world cup final in kiwiland yesterday. They really are unbeatable.

You can carry on with the soccer now.

[stattointhailand]

I suspect you might get more of a response to Cricket wind ups on the cricket thread Lew ..... most on here couldnt tell their Collingwoods from their Wellington Phoenix

Group B: England, United States, Iran, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine

Semi final for that last slot tonight at Hampden.



Nobody's carrying it in Thailand but there's ways and means. If you have a Sky subscription and a VPN, you're otherwise a day pass on NOWTV is about 12 quid.

Hope the Jocks straps win and set up an interesting game for Saturday

Sheep Shaggers vs Mountain Goat Shaggers

[tamada]

Luckily, I didn't stay up for THAT. When you have the home fans booing within the first half-hour...

[tamada]

England's worst defeat in 28 years and worst home defeat in 96 years just five months ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
