They do actually look decent and aren’t just a one man team. Ødegaard isn’t even playing.
Also, as a side point, they’ve got this weird kind of runic script for their names and numbers on their shirts. Very Viking and quite striking. I like it. Nice shirt too (I forgive the red and blue because it’s based on the Norwegian flag 😉)
I still think Haaland is overated....

New manager and a new generation breaking through. We've been shit for a while after a decent period about 10-15 years ago. Looks much better now!Charlton and on said:Can anyone explain what's going on with the Faroe Islands?0 -

Big game for two of our home nations. Northern Ireland v Ze Germans and the Welsh v boring old Belgium. Both have to win I think. Certainly Wales.0

Congratulations to Cape Verde who have qualified for the first time ever, the 22nd country to make it to this tournament. They are the second smallest country by population ever to have qualified, only Iceland is smaller. The BBC tell me the team's nickname is "The Blue Sharks".Swindon_Addick said:
Ghana sealed qualification yesterday - 21 teams now settled. Cape Verde need a win today against the last-placed team in their group to qualify for their first ever World Cup.Swindon_Addick said:
Algeria made it 20 countries qualified today, guaranteeing topping their group with a game still to play.Swindon_Addick said:
Egypt won their group yesterday, during the second-last round of games in Africa, making it 19 qualifiers to date.Swindon_Addick said:
Up to 18 qualifiers today after Tunisia also win their group with 2 games in hand, although in their case they've played 8 of 10. No real shocks about the first two qualifiers from Africa, but with 9 to qualify this time there are some relatively unfamiliar names among the countries still in contention.Swindon_Addick said:Now 17 countries qualified as Morocco won their African qualifying group on Friday with 2 of their 8 games still to play.4 -
The only good thing about the expansion of teams is seeing new countries there.2

Would any of these debutants have qualified for a 32-team World Cup?0

I think in Cape Verde's case, yes, as they won their group and only 4 African nations have amassed more points than them across all the qualification groupsForeverAddickted said:Would any of these debutants have qualified for a 32-team World Cup?3 -
Magennis is on for Norn Iron, Germany are fucked now.0

Congrats to Cape Verde for overcoming the favourites in their group, Cameroon, a country who had been to 8 of the last 11 World Cups themselves.
Cameroon not out yet but they have a potential gruelling path through African and then intercontinental playoffs.0 -
Magennis has been even worse than I expected.
Northern Ireland otherwise giving Germany a game.0 -
Quite possibly. Jordan and Uzbekistan qualified by finishing second in their groups, so in 4th to 6th overall in Asian qualifying. Uzbekistan got more points than Australia. Last time there were 4 qualifiers from Asia plus a fifth via the playoffs, but since the hosts were Asian there were 6 countries actually there. And as others have pointed out Cape Verde beat Cameroon along the way.ForeverAddickted said:Would any of these debutants have qualified for a 32-team World Cup?
When we get to the seventh and eighth qualifiers from Asia, which will be confirmed soon, that's the point where we're into teams who definitely wouldn't have qualified under the old rules. Plus New Zealand, of course; no way they'd have qualified.1 -
The penalty Wales just conceded was one of the stupidest handballs I've ever seen.1

De Bruyne puts away his second penalty of the game for Man City Belgium.0

Quality performance from NI and really unlucky not to get anything from that.
How Magennis is playing international football ill
never know. Truly a 0/10 performance.1 -
What’s the story behind the N Ireland shirt, looks like audio waveforms in the design?

Magennis should of had a penalty. He was just thrown to the floor.0

No idea! So odd, just looked so deliberate and pointless. And the ball was going away from goal.DaveMehmet said:

Tunisia qualified without conceding a goal, a feat which Ivory Coast can replicate if they don't concede in their game tonight.
In Europe, Switzerland, Spain and England have still yet to concede.1
