The 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification

Coleman Tackle:

Taylor acted like he did nothing. Pathetic.

According to some pundits, ex footballers, tweet stars, players like Taylor have the winning mentality, have passion. Shame.

Career ending?

Just seen the Coleman challenge. Absolutely horrendous, can even see the leg snap. Worst injury I’ve seen since Eduardo. Feel for Coleman, hope he can recover from this.

And I hope no one came out with the “he’s not that kind of player” chestnut about Taylor.

A pic of the break. Don’t click if queasy…

Taylor is a cuntish surname. Remember Eduardo.

British grit and passion :xhaka:

Great stuff. There’s a difference between accidents and carelessness. There is never a need to go in high. If Taylor was in line for a 10 game ban he wouldn’t be taking those kind of risks with fellow professionals careers and it wouldn’t suddenly remove tackling from the game.

If it’s part and parcel for the game and it’s unlucky for the victim, then the player doing it should face the same kind of unluckiness with their ban.

100% agree - recklessness to the point of endangerment is not grit or effort or passion… it is more akin to criminal intent.

Really average games now.
Bosnia and Sweden already up.
Xhaka just got kicked off the park.
Switzerland already closing Latvia down.
Dzemaili dwells too much on the ball and misses the chance to shoot on target.
Xhaka should have scored here.

Swedes need 3 points here… France and Netherlands likely to get 3 today too… would be great if Sweden can get a couple of GD here as well, but 3 points is a must.

Bosnia 2-0 up,
2-0 Sweden.
Bosnia puts the game to bed. 3-0.
Switzerland take the lead, 4-0 Sweden and 4-0 Bosnia.

I can’t be the only one disappointed that Belorussian players aren’t a group mutated super-men.

Minimum effort, maximum result for Switzerland. Big win for Sweden and Bosnia, instead.

Bulgaria up against Holland! @Bl1nk
Fellaini just misses a sitter.
2-0 Bulgaria! Lol!
Really nice play by Belgium here. But it wasn’t penalty on Mertens.
Static possession football by Belgium, just like Everton.
Giroud scores!

God this is an awful Holland generation
