This format makes no sense to me. Even in Concacaf we don't see a USA vs British Virgin Islands.
This format needs to change so the small teams play against each other. If they're good enough they can classify to a upper round to play with the bigger teams.
I fucking hate American sports but I can see why they sometimes have a mercy rule
Mercy rule seems even worse than just losing badly ordinarily. Imagine getting beat so bad there's a rule that exists just to stop you from getting beat even harder... That's so much more embarrassing imo
Shooting low against that keeper is a cheat code
Beating the precedent record, 10-0 against Azerbaidjan in Auxerre during the qualifications of the 1996 Euro with the third goal of Zidane with the French National team
This isn't even funny
Kylian Mbappé, one of the world’s best, up against a goalkeeper that couldn’t even nail no. 1 at the mighty Liversedge
Giroud still killing it
Yup,Mbappe is right, there is no comparison between South American and European qualifications.
Stupid sexy Giroud in there at the end.
No Benzema to score the 15th
European football seems a lot harder that latin american(?)
Broo gibraltar is smaller than a goodwill parking lot lol.
This isnt the comeback to the argument you think it is
You know the role of the qualifiers in a competition is literally to eliminate teams that aren't going to be competitive in the main event right?
They scored three times within 4 minutes. Wow.
If it wasn't for that own goal it would have been a completely different game.
Lord Mbappe hattick 🫂
This issue the exciting international break we get. So worth it /s
Remember that Mbappe said international European football has higher competition.
Games like these are why all international goalscoring records are getting beaten more and more easily, still impressive but means a lot less and shouldn’t be used to compare current day players with players of yesteryear.
What was Mbappe saying about the quality of European football compared to CONMEBOL, again?
Let them have it, the French don’t often win!
In the days when the tournament was just 8 teams, qualifying rounds definitely made sense. Even, at a stretch, when it was bumped up to 16. With 24 teams the qualifying now seems a little less important. I don't think that scores like this help anything apart from to pad the record books. Competition should have at least the faint prospect that either side could win, otherwise its more like an exhibition match than anything with a real consequence.
The level of stat padding in Europe is off the charts.
mbappe only scored 3? what a disgrace
Lmao Owen Goal striking in the 3rd Minute.
Gibraltar aside, it’s good to see Coman having himself a good season.
!flair :Inter_Milan:
Sad tbh that the had to play full strength for what
Watching the highlights felt like watching a crime against humanity.
I get that Gibraltar has the right to play with their team in this qualification stage, but at some point you should have the self awareness that you're tragically shht.
The goalie gets an 89th and 91st minute goal just to rub salt in the wounds!
Man, if I was a pro-footballer, born in gibraltar, I'd honestly make sure to cross the border and register my ass in spain to avoid being called for national duty if this is the "nation's future" lol
Gibs aren’t footballing nation. It’s like Indonesia playing Australia in cricket
Is that Santa?
Well dune, he's 13
Actually benzema scored the 15th goal for france in the 94th min. For more info google benzema 15
A shameful win.
Just put the 4 worst ranked European teams in a 4 team knockout competition to see who goes into the group stages. This is ridiculous
What happened between 37' and 63', was the game on hold?
Every 4 years for these game I empty all my accounts to bet
It pays my christmas presents
Taika Waititi furiously taking notes
I thought this was rugby for a second.
damn all of the french squad scored except for the goalkeeper + 1 (assuming there weren't substitutions but i'm too tipsy to check rn)
An own goal in under 4 minutes as well lol
Anyone know where I can find a recording of this game?
RemindMe! 5 years
I love this - I scored the 11th and 12th goal in a football match against an Indian school and I felt so powerful haha , didn’t cheer but I was like oh yeah
What is the point
All my homies hate international football
