What is the point in these turgid WC qualifiers ?
The expanded finals have removed any games that were half competitive or any realistic prospect of a major country not qualifying.
It?s jeopardy for the clubs as they hold the breath and wait for more injuries, meanwhile the fans have simply having their pants pulled down.
I can?t see the sense in it. Far better to have decent friendlies surely ?

True. But in that case, we didn't buy enough of them to not have to worry about injuries Originally Posted by Peter

The trick is to have players who aren't quite good enough to get picked for their country Originally Posted by redgunamo
