International Games | 12th - 19th November '25

Sofascore posted the team of the qualifiers. Haaland not in it. What the actual fuck.

Honestly mate, don't get offended on our account. We've seen stuff over the past fifteen years that makes that a childish oversight. De Bruyne never getting the monthly PL award is, to put it mildly, an oddity. Especially since there were seasons when he won POTY — I wonder which months he played well in in those seasons. June, July maybe? Or maybe he was just recognised as having been exceptional in training over the season.
But the finest player I've seen put on a City shirt not getting the POTY from his fellow professionals over a ten-year period is downright disgraceful. I've known rags say he was their favourite player in the league, from the point of view of a pure football fan, and setting tribal hatreds aside for a second.
 
Curacao has become the smallest country (population and land area) to ever qualify for the WC, after drawing 0-0 with Jamaica in Kingston prompting the resignation of Shteve McClaren as Jamaica coach.

An Island smaller than the Isle of Man, just off Venezuela.

Good place if you've got some money to be washed whiter than white, too, apparently. (I learnt that off Narcos…)

That's mental if true - KDB never getting POTM! He single handedly changed numerous games, it's bonkers!
 
Well said MP. What an utterly mental 90 mins that was last night, still can't quite believe how it went down, amazing to finally qualify again.
Gunner, about ten minutes into the second half i nearly turned it over. My nerves were shredded and I thought, we are going to fuck this up. Didn't obviously. What a night, talk about rollercoaster? They were technically miles ahead of us, but the goals, fuck me. We did it the Scotland way, through the ringer, then a mesher, then a couple of boots in the balls, then 3 unbelievable goals, Shanklands just as important, but not a worldy . You really couldn't make it up.
