Given there's a few of you all saying this - I might use this as first line up for EL SIMULACION - only issue will be, I can't use Italiano, so will need to replace - thoughts on who?

Geria or Trewin.

 

[NicCarBel]

Geria or Trewin.

Geria was my first thought too, so will probably do that.

Call me pretentious but I love the names Cabo Verde and Cote d'Ivoire And Burmese food

The Cabo annoys me when I'm doing text search. It's the O. Verd it is!

 

[JS96]

I still call them Burma, I can't expunge it from my brain, to much history in that area.

The snake that made the glass vanish in Harry Potter was from Burma. Probably JK Rowling sneaking a colonised term in!

EL SIMULACIÓN DE LA COPA DEL MUNDO is LIVE!

Up first we have Australia v Turkey on Matchday 1

Individual match recordings will be made for all Socceroos and All Whites games, and all games within those two groups. I will be re-linking my Twitch channel at the top of each page when necessary - as all matches will be available at the same like, with an individual URL for each YouTube match (also available to watch later)




Up first is USA v Paraguay - but in the meantime - the line up for the Socceroos v Turkey!

Not sure what you mean but in French it’s called Cap-Vert (a calque of Cabo Verde, “Green Cape”).

I meant more how they were pretty strong back in the day, they were the main enemy of the Khmer Empire and other neighboring countries, they were formidable. They've also been very good at Muay Thai, which I immersed myself in 20-25 years ago.

If we want to elicit a bunch of red cards we could try an even more inflamatory name "Please rise for the national anthem of Constantinople belongs to the Greeks"

Its NOT the national anthem nor particularly inflammatory

Turkish govt have asked the world to respect the change in their country's name. As Tom Jones sang, it's not unusual. Burma --> Myanmar;
Ceylon-- - > Sri Lanka; New Zealand --> Aotearoa (I wish)

Sure, maybe their governement can first respect the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea and remove the threat of war to another country 's legal right to extend their nautical borders.... Oh AND recognise the Armenian and Pontic Greek Genocide....

Would also be nice if Erdogan apologised for:

"Your grandparents came here... and they returned in caskets. Have no doubt, we will send you back like your grandfathers."

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan's comments about Anzacs spark diplomatic row

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has called in Turkey's ambassador to New Zealand to explain inflammatory comments made by the country's president in the wake of the mosque attacks.

I saw a graphic once about the empires and Countries who have committed genocides and Turkey was streets ahead.

The list is ENDLESS and to be clear its the CURRENT governement NOT the nation or the people....

How is Devlin an AM?

How is Devlin an AM?

Ideally I would have Cam Devlin as part of a midfield three along with Jackson Irvine and Paul Okon-Engstler with Nestory Irankunda filling the attacking midfield position.

Due to qualifying late, Turkey had the challenge of finding facilities and have had to settle for something in Arizona. They'll be used to the heat anyway. Slightly increased travel time to games but they also have a bit of flight wherever they go.

Specifically the Arizona Athletic Grounds in Mesa (near Phoenix). They’re literally gonna shit themselves in that desert heat, that’s like a training camp in Alice Springs (which may happen if we finally get the World Cup but FIFA keep expanding it lmao).
