2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

[dion09529]

We're in the qualifiers stage, but we don't give a fuck who's playing who. The most important thing is who will play Canada. Will they qualify to the World Cup in Russia? Oh btw, this is soccer not hockey!

Canada received a bye in the first round and will face most likely Nicaragua into the second round (first leg on home ground in Toronto on 08 Jun 2015). Nicaragua began the qualifiers Monday defeating Anguilla 5-0 and the second leg will be just a trip.

Now, Nicaragua is one of the most insecure place to go on this planet, so Idol must prepare for this adventure (guns, grenades, napalm bombs etc).

The most important thing is who will play Canada.

I'm fairly certain no one in the history of the world has put those exact words together in that order before.

BTW, ho is the "we" in your other sentence, Dion? Where are you from, anyway?

[dion09529]

We, the Earthman.

[IdolEyes787]

We, the Earthman.

You can't be one of us as I'm pretty sure the only thing likely to utter the term "Earthman" would be an alien.Nice try though,Great Gazoo.

Btw watching soccer is only just below flying Germanwings on the things I'm most looking forward to doing.

** Don't know why I thought that Canada will play against Nicaragua. I can't wait to see canadians winning , but for that would mean to wake up in the middle of the night. Or maybe I'll watch women's world cup as a prelude before the match kicks off.

*All matches involving Indonesia have been cancelled as a result of the suspension of their Football Association.

[IdolEyes787]

I know you made that up because a lot of those places aren't even real countries.

[megabyteme]

Just look up "places no one would ever go to willingly" on Google. I expect you will find most of Dion's list. The countries they seem to be playing have border and/or genocide feuds with each other, so that's gotta make being a referee a bit stressful.

Which makes this:

*All matches involving Indonesia have been cancelled as a result of the suspension of their Football Association.

all the more interesting. What would Indonesia have to do to get suspended?

Couldn't agree more. Take a look to the UK. There are 4 historical regions affiliated to FIFA: Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Recently, I found out that South Sudan got its independence, following a referendum that passed with 98.83% of the vote. Here are the voters:

To be fair a lot of cattle also vote in the States.

12 June

Does this mean we won because football's complex system of nothing ever happening can be confusing at times.

I've also been watching a bit of the Women's World Cup and have come to the conclusion that I would be a lot more interested if the women were better looking.
