It's sad to hear people salivating with relish over the latest military tech, it's potential, etc. This used to be a trademark of the right, now it seems to be more of a feature of liberal politics Reminder: We are talking about stuff that we pay for to: 1) Slaughter innocent conscripts and...

I am not so sure. Maybe 30 years ago. There are prominent and popular conservative thinkers who are openly gay - Andrew Sullivan, Dave Rubin, and Douglas Murray. Trump might lose a few votes from the religious right, but he might even gain some votes from the centre ground.

'Disgrace to OUR country' Why not just broadcast that you copy and paste plagiarised comments on here.

The geek in me can't help noticing the weirdness of the Balkans. Bigger, established nations have really struggled - Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary are all out. Romania limped its way to the play-offs. But mickey-mouse, upstart and made up countries have all over-performed. North...

Urban myth. He was au fait with the rules. He did it as act of protest because the squad hadn't been paid. Racism is a much over-used and tedious insult. But in the case of this urban myth it is probably justified. Even the likes of Skinner and Badiel perpetrated the false story of the simple...

What a fairytale night for the tiny minnows of football! Curacao, Haiti and Scotland all qualify!

Suriniam is another potential first time minnow if tonight's results go for them

I was only aware of Zaire/Congo getting there before because of that famous incident where their defender rushed out the wall and wellied the opponents free kick before they had a chance to take it :ROFLMAO: A bit of a shame we don't get to see Yannick Bolasie in the finals, at 34 he is no...

Didn't realise Haiti had made it before. There will be a few first timers in 2026. As well as Cabo Verde, there is already confirmed Uzbekistan and Jordan

Bermuda? Not a great campaign for you, to be fair. Isn't cricket the more popular sport anyway?

Farage doesn't go far enough. The issues are really serious. I think we need a full Public Inquiry into the BBC's culture of harbouring paedophiles as well as general dishonesty/lack of integrity.

Huge night tonight that could potentially see Haiti and Curaçao qualify for the WC. Curaçao would be the smallest nation ever to qualify, with a population of just 150k. Love to see countries like these two and Cabo Verde, who have already qualified, at the Finals.

I'm not surprised by this. Something about the bloke, he seems a bit too smug.

I have a feeling that they will pin the blame on white supremacy.

Nigeria played their most important game for a long time the other day, losing their World Cup qualification play-off to Congo on penalties. Nigeria aren't the team they once were. But Uche wasn't even in their squad, let alone their 11. If they don't think he's good enough, why was he ever...

Western imperialism just has better PR, and a lot of very gullible adherents.

Except when we all gang up on Serbia, bomb Belgrade, take Kosovo and some other bits from them. Then it's absolutely fine. Peacekeeping or something.

It's funny how in our globalised economy, saying "I am born and bred here" is practically a hate crime and apologies are required. Immigrants are allowed to identify as British almost immediately. But Russians who have been in the Donbass for decades? Nah - They are 'implants' and Ukraine was...

So it's a choice between a practical, commercially driven 'real world' and an idealogical 'fantasy' world of ethics and morals? At the risk of being churlish, if they had chosen the fantasy route they would be about £5 billion better off. This 'real world' thing sounds a bit over-rated if you...

Agreed, but for one detail. They don't need people to be right-wing, they just need people with basic ethics, integrity and decency. What the BBC did was wrong. They lean left, but they also have form for misrepresenting people of all political hues. It was wrong to do it Trump, just as it was...
