WC 2018 Play-Offs

Forums New posts
Italy not making it there is a shock and a bit sad, a world cup without them seems odd.

My attention turns to Australia v Honduras now 9am weds morning. Was good friends with Trent Sainsbury's family when I lived in Perth and would love to see him make the world cup. His old man Scott is from Chelmsford and is a top bloke and Armadale SC's biggest fan, there every Saturday for all games. Great bloke, great family, great club.

Good call MK. In hindsight, NI was a close one, but of course, all credit where it's due. Did you put any money on it?

Seem as your on good form, can "Mystic Mk" give us a result on the final 2 teams to qualify for the World Cup?

Namely:

Australia V Honduras
&
Peru V New Zealand
 
Some real quality goals from Christian Eriksen tonight, if you get a chance watch the highlights on ITV.

No money on it sadly....lets go with Australia & NZ.

Changing that due to Peru having to fly vast distances in under a week. Jet lag!

I'm not sure what your answer is?, but I wish you luck MK.

Its NZ making the long distance this time to Peru playing at altitude. (nearly 12,000 feet above sea level apparently?)

Yep, but Peru have made it twice and I very much doubt it's a direct flight.....and I got it wrong. :sad:
 
Welcome to the party, Peru. I've never seen them play at a World Cup (I was too young to follow Spain '82) but it'll be great to have that handsome shirt back at the big dance.
 
Odd set-up for those play-offs.

Why not just let Australia play New Zealand and Peru play Honduras!

Anyway, who can forget Peru's marvelous efforts in the 1978 World Cup! :smile::blush:

Of course, Australia's place in the play-offs could just as easily have been another 'Asian' team. So if it had been (say) Bahrain v Honduras it wouldn't have been so odd looking.

1978? I don't know what you're talking about...

:smile: I think that might be the match where the Scots fans turned on Ally MacLeod!
