ha ha no

[webber]

there's an american rugby team?!?

this is legitimate surprise

yeah but they aren't an up and comer like they are in soccer, they are basically one of the crappest teams in existence and are only in the world cup to make up numbers (on a really good day they could pose a bit of a challenge to samoa or tonga or italy). it would be good if they got better at it, though

[James]

oh they must be the south american team because here in america we don't do things poorly

it's kind of a rule we have here /huffs, examines nails critically, phases out further comments

gg scotland (and fiji!)

[Casey]

we need to make Michael Vick the quarterback of the american rugby team

gg scotland (and fiji!)

yeah we scraped in and no more. 18-16 in the last game, thank fuck that Italian missed a penalty.


Also webber I don't know if you've been following the Premiership this season but Chelsea are fucked. It looks like the title is down to Arsenal and Man U. Arsenal are quality this year.

since this is the closest thing this forum has to a rugby thread, i just wanted to say that it is incredibly cute how the northern hemisphere thinks they can play the game

fucking australia. why couldn't they beat england?

edit: zut alors the kiwis are out!

[Terry Cheesecake]

And we got rolled over by the Argies. England had better not win it again.

[webber]

It'd be awesome if Argentina won. It will probably be South Africa tho

[Terry Cheesecake]

Scotland 3 Ukraine 1

Another win.



surely we can qualify

[Wohngespenst]

Don't worry, you fellas still have a fighting chance.

On that note. C'mon Norway! All we need is for Turkey to lose to Greece, and Norway to beat Bosnia/Herzegovinia, hopefully at least tie with Turkey and then beat Bosnia Herzegovinia and we'll be golden!

[webber]

How many games are being played? 12? The top how many go through?

[Terry Cheesecake]

The top two from each group go through. We've got Georgia away on Wednesday and our last game is at home to Italy in November.

[Terry Cheesecake]

Georgia 2 Scotland 0

We can still qualify, all we need to do is beat the current World Cup holders when they come across in November. Fucking bring it on.

One good thing was England fucked up as well and now qualification is out of their hands, they need Croatia or Russia to slip up.

[webber]

So what happens if you don't qualify in these rounds?

Also, South Africa beat England in the rugby final, thank god.

[Terry Cheesecake]

Indeed.

If we don't qualify we don't go to Euro 2008 and have to wait for the next world cup qualifiers instead.

[webber]

Really, so one of England/Croatia/Russia aren't going? It would be hilarious if England miss out (and France or Italy, for that matter)

[Illinois Smith]

Italy not qualifying would make living here while the whole thing is going down about 200% less annoying.

[webber]

You're in Italy?
