I'm a bit surprised by this, he played a lot of minutes. I've watched the NPL team and there's a good RB playing there, or at least the games I've watched, so maybe they are bringing him through.

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.

It would make me very happy, plus the American reaction should be pretty hilarious.

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

I was going to say something similar haha

I wouldn't mind that either, but Devlins a bit of an unknown because Poppa hasn't played him. I wanted him to start against Mexico, hopefully he will against the Switzerland.

It's not Constantinople, it's Istanbul, insert music themed emote.

Same, except I'd swap Herrington with Degenek for the first game, the kid was a bit nervy against Mexico, Degenek's experience could help. Once everything has started and that initial game is done, Herrington can start. That's my thinking.

Well Germany itself is quite modern, before it was pretty much made up of three different principalities, Bavaria, Prussia and Austro-Hungarian

Wow, I never knew. I've seen the spelling and just thought it was how they spelt it, kind of how Germany is Deutschland. Thanks.

Why is everyone calling them Turkey-yah? I appreciate the native pronunciation would be different, it just seems strange and a bit cringe.

I think the Champ is ranked pretty high, mostly because the money they have at their disposal is very high, higher than the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgian Juliper or Switzerland leagues.

I'm a big fan of Metcalf and think he gets unfairly criticised, he has provided a lot of the through balls that create chances, he'd probably be better partnering his hippy teammate instead of O'Neal imho though.

I thought it was three total, haha. Borrello as the other.

Ah, thanks.

Yeah, I'd consider Rowles for that job and to basically shut out a game and give Bos a rest if needed.

I think if we were to play him it should be one of the DM's, as his industry and strength still works, as a no10 he's not up to it and I think there are better options now in the DM position.

I wondered at the time whether Circati got a push in the back, you would expect him to clear than and not miss, I usually wait a couple of days before watching the replay, so it's how I felt at the time and the dodgyness of the ref.

For me Leckie, Behich and in keeping with the city theme, Beach.

I thought everyone looked incredibly nervous for some reason in the first half, the second half we were all over them and were in total control from the start. We created some great chances and should have had 2 goals, a couple of the greatest chances we've had in years but couldn't put them...
