The always useless Benzema is taken out. 12 straight goal-less games. Instead of Giroud, they put in the even more useless Sissoko.:help:

and more than 1000 minutes and 50 shots without scoring for benzema
so many freekicks and corners where giroud could have scored
instead he came and played 30 seconds, then they will say that he has few goals per matches, while most of these matches he plays less than 5 minutes
still, he's france's top scorer in these qualifying matches

very happy about pogba being exposed too

i don't know how many blacks played for england, but they just did 1-1 against montenegro (all-white i guess)
so montenegro leads the group, and ukraine, who won with another goal by yarmolenko (i posted about him in the thread about young white talents), can come back just 1 point behind england (they have a match less)
ukraine and montenegro qualifying instead of england could be the surprise of the qualifyers

also i don't know if you noticed, but benzema was booed when he was replaced
he was booed in the latest match too
and in the match before after a miss the stadium shouted "giroud! giroud!" to ask the coach to replace benzema with giroud

Well, Germany started 4 non-whites today. The black Boateng (who was only starting because the center backs that usually start (Hummels and Badstuber) were not on the team, and the CB that started for him last game, Howedes, was on suspension I believe. The Turk Gundogan only started because Schweinsteiger was suspended for the game. In addition, Kroos was not in the squad either.

Gotze and Reus looked really good today for the Germans, in addition to the fullbacks Lahm and Schmelzer.

Wouldn't it be nice if the German back four was Schmelzer-Badstuber-Hummels-Lahm?? That is certainly possible for the World Cup lineup, provided Badstuber recovers from his ACL injury.


Portugal also started 9 whites today in their 2-0 win vs. Azerbaijan!! :)

I saw both of Italy's goals today against Malta were scored by Ballotelli. :sad:

Also, England started 6 whites and 5 blacks against Montenegro today, whom I'm also going to assume are all white.

Got a good chuckle out of Pogba's theatrics today. I don't know what was funnier: his rabid protest of the first yellow, or his reluctant acceptance of the second card, knowing he was caught. Earlier on, the announcer explained his cap because "he plays for one of the big clubs".

Another African-born "French" immigrant was touted by this announcer as being a future "best player in the world at his position", due especially to his impressive physique! Within a minute, he was bullied off the ball in midfield and fell on his back, as if on cue. Some name like "Matuidi" which I will not look up on principle; more appropriate to just call him the Beast of Gévaudan.

i think that there's nothing to hope from italy in the future
balotelli will play until he's 40 years old
atleast we have germany and spain (but i wish germany could regain their determination so they can win finals again) and the eastern european countries
and i would even prefer france or england than balotelli's italy

yes, that black player isn't even physically impressive, he's small (less than 1.80m) and very thin, also he walks like some sort of beast
but i guess that as long as you're black, you're physically impressive

matuidi plays at PSG
at PSG they bought many white stars from other countries, but there is a quota of french players
that's why sakho matuidi and jallet play
the best position for a quota player are full back or defensive midllefielder, that's why out of these 3, jallet and matuidi are the ones that play the most at PSG
but the experts are just going to ignore that: they either don't know it or act like they don't know it

matuidi is OK but there is no need to use superlatives about him

I just saw the replay. Our commentator (English) was doing exactly that, saying tonight may be the night Matuidi marks his arrival on the world stage. It didn't happen. (Spain should've had a penalty in the first half). Benzema had another bad night. Being booed by the fans will make him dislike France even more.:icon_smile:

New Caledonia beat Tahiti 1-0.:icon_tongue:
The only New Caledonian footballer I've heard of is Christian Karembeu, yet he did not play for NC, but for France. If the top players from NC, Martinique, Guadeloupe, etc, do not play for them, but for France, then why should they have FIFA recognised teams? (The top Welsh, N Irish, and Scottish players do not play for England or a UK national team).

@Frederic, thanks, that’s a quality team, most of these players are still relatively young and deserve a chance to prove themselves with the French national side. Puygrenier didn’t play much with Zenit, but is nonetheless part of their ultras’ folklore.
Wow, amazing composure demonstrated by Clerc, it’s almost as if the shot was part of a training drill!

I watched Spain vs. France and it was a pretty good game, both teams would have deserved to get something from the match. In South America Uruguaylost 0:2 against Chile and Venezuela defeated Colombia, so essentially all the national sides are still in contention to qualify for the finals.
I was quite surprised by Australia’s result, they will likely need to win their remaining matches in order to secure qualification, as Jordan’s victory over Japan has really opened up the group.

I was quite surprised by Australia’s result...

Well, I wasn't...

[video=youtube;I0TrA4zT1bc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0TrA4zT1bc[/video]

Australian soccer has rapidly gone downhill since the 2006 World Cup, practically regressing more than twenty years. The Socceroos' "talent pool" (now, that's a laugh...) is virtually just as shallow as in the "bad old days" of the late 1980s and early 1990s, with one crucial difference. That difference is that we aren't on the cusp of producing a comparatively talented crop of players capable of performing at a moderate international level. That is, a level sufficient enough to guarantee avoiding painfully embarrassing results against nations which, compared with the sport's ****ing minnows, are unicellular ectoparasites - such as the microscopically lightweight Oman, for instance.

Despite the match being shown live on free-to-air TV I decided to spare myself some severe hypertension by opting not to watch. My prescience was obviously rewarded as I surely would have demolished the room had I witnessed the horrific display of sporting ineptitude served up by our proud "national team". I did, however, make the mistake of checking on the score after about ten minutes. This was a very bad move, for Oman had scored after a mere six minutes so the good old blood pressure instantly shot up before I managed to turn the TV off in snarling disgust.

Manager Holger Osieck is is a dunce who couldn't find his arse with both hands in a well-lit room equipped with a gleaming full-wall mirror. In any country where the sport is taken seriously, this lame prick would have been sacked after last September's loss to Jordan. But no, he's still hanging around to impart his high-achieving "wisdom" in exchange for a juicy salary. Sure puts the barter system to shame. Osieck mightn't be copping any chicks for free (which would be wasted anyway, as he looks like he hasn't cracked a fat since Germany won the World Cup back in 1990), but there's certainly plenty of money for nothing. Wondering what I'm blathering on about? Click here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwDDswGsJ60

Yet Osieck clearly isn't the sole problem. With a couple of exceptions (well, one really: 40-year old goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, who was also less-than-impressive on Oman's first goal) the team's raw material isn't worth a pinch of ****.

I'll bet that every one of You has heard of global superstars Michael Thwaite, Robert Cornthwaite, Matt McKay, James Holland, and Alex Brosque. No? Now, that is strange...

Conversely, our soccer regulars will be familiar with Mark Schwarzer, Tim Cahill, Luke Wilkshire, and Mark Bresciano - and will therefore presumably be aware that all of these fellows are over 31 years of age.

Our regulars will likewise know who Brett Holman is. Particularly keen regulars may even have noted that Holman has only started 16 of Aston Villa's 31 Premier League matches to date this season. Villa, of course, are threatened with relegation...

Then there's Mile Jedinak, who provided that kindergarten own goal which put Oman 2-0 up. This 28-year old genius turns out for Crystal Palace - a League Championship club. Mind You, he'd been with Turkish "giants" Genclerbirligi and Antalyaspor prior to his move to the English second tier, so he's had the proverbial stellar career. ****, he's probably about to hit his prime. Yes, the Australians all play at the "highest level"...

Midfield creativity? None.

Any creativity at all? None.

Tactical awareness? Negligible.

Firepower up front? Negligible.

Defensive discipline? Precariously shaky.

Team psychology? Collective fear-induced paralysis.

Yes, that's the Socceroos for You...

A team like this shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the finals. Put it this way - Australia certainly doesn't need the calamitous embarrassment an appearance in Brazil would surely involve...

By 2100 There Will be More Nigerians Than Europeans.

Australia only 2-2 against Oman : (

There are lot of Nigerians now in many European countries and things will only get worse if them demographic predictions turn out to be true.Nigerians are the biggest and ugliest of the black Africans and they are obsessed by white people.They have sizable numbers in Western Europe aswell as increasing numbers in Eastern Europe.There are also large numbers of them in the US which is surprising

ridiculous:

KUALA LUMPUR: FIFA president Sepp Blatter called on Friday for more berths for Asian teams at future editions of the World Cup and said the issue would be addressed at a meeting later this month.
Blatter said FIFA should allow more Asian teams at the expense of European and South American teams, stressing that Asia provides 50 percent of the body's revenues with Europe contributing less than 20 percent.

Scotland leading Croatia at half time. This could ruin Croatia's qualification (they're even with Belgium) forcing them to have a play-off against another second place team, possibly France, England or Portugal. I used to cheer for Belgium (1980s and 90s) but given the likely composition of the current squad I'd rather Croatia go through.

Two yellow cards in five minutes for Balotelli. He's gone.:lol: He even attacked the wall in the tunnel on his way to the dressing room. Still can't control his temper.

excellent :bigsmile:
and he reportedly had his second yellow card by hitting the only black "czech" player
is that balotelli guy a racist or what? :Cry:

benteke also had a big miss and a bad match with belgium

and ukraine won 4-0 :thumbsup: against montenegro

Well I guess I couldn't lose in todays Scotland vs Croatia match today ethnically. (Hence my name haha). Still I would have rather seen Croatia win as they can probably go further. I'm far from am expert though. If any of you more informed soccer fans could fill me in a little on the group I would appreciate it.

scotland has been the first team to be offically out of the qualification battle to the 2014 world cup, they were already out of the race before that match, so you better root for your croatian side :smile:
belgium is the team that will be the biggest opponent for the 1st place of the group, they have a lot of non-whites but some very good white talent
the second place finisher will play a playoff against another second place finisher from another group

Thanks I will. Both squads are mostly white no? I was talking to my cousin apparently Croatia is 4th in the FIFA rankings? So this was definetly not a match they should have lost I'm assuming?

yes but scotland are still a though oponent, i remembe when they beat france 1-0 2 times in 2 matches in the qualifications for the 2008 euro champs
but that's a huge upset for sure, especially considering that scotland doesn't have anything left to hope from these qualifications already
croatia has 1 black brazilian, named sammir, and another brazilian, who is mixed race (eduardo), so yes, mostly white
last time i saw scotland play they were all-white but i don't know about now
and the FIFA ranking can be meaningless since it takes into account friendly matches, but croatia is definitely a team that should be at the 2014 world cup...but finishing 4th at the world cup, i'm not so sure :icon_grin:

I saw a commentator state the the US team has been getting worse over the last few years. This is right at the same time they are getting more diverse.

Portugal is getting better it looks like; they started 10 whites in their 1-0 victory of Russia!! The only non-white starter was Bruno Alves. Nani was the only black sub that came on, so they finished with 9 whites and 2 blacks. Helder Postiga scored the goal for Portugal in the 9[SUP]th[/SUP] minute. I’d easily cheer for Portugal if they took that lineup to the World Cup. I only think the white defender Neto started because Pepe was suspended, but from what it sounded like, he played great.

Iceland lost 2-4 to Slovenia in Iceland; that puts a bit of a dent in their qualification hopes. I was hoping they’d beat Slovenia. However, with Albania the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] place team in Iceland’s group, they still have every chance to get 2[SUP]nd[/SUP]; the “Swiss” top the group right now.

Austria and Ireland are duking it out for 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] place behind Germany right now in Group C; they both sit at 11 points, but Ireland will need to beat them due to Austria’s massive goal difference. The only black player Austria starts is David Alaba; they started 10 whites around him. I did not see any Turks that played for the Austrians either, so if either Austria or Ireland make it, we’d have another team to cheer for.

I’m also happy to see Ukraine trounce Montenegro 4-0! I also like to watch them. Here’s to hoping the Ukrainians are in Brazil next summer. If England somehow starts 9 whites, I’d hope they qualify as well, but unless we enter a twilight zone, I can’t see that happening, especially with a tendency of England’s white players to get injured so much. I noticed Jack Wilshire almost always seems to be injured for International tournaments.

The "USA" also beat Jamaica in Kingston last night, 2-1. White defender Brad Evans had a great goal in stoppage time of the 2nd half to seal the US win, who started the game with 5 whites, and finished with 6. There should be one more white starter when/if Donovan gets back.

claudio pizarro (white) 's goal against ecuador, it allows peru to stay in the mix for the qualification

[video=youtube_share;wnXWMQg8Osg]http://youtu.be/wnXWMQg8Osg[/video]

uruguay are in a bad situation, and if they have to fight against peru to qualify i think peru is better
