Matsuyama at 66 for me.

Surely Greece are due to fall a fair bit soon? In shocking form.

Seen sporting lisbon twitter say he was still recovering from a knock

Might have took ross county southampton and st johnstone for tomorrow, regret it already! away to dundee united everton and hamilton respectively. Tenner pays £271.69 with bet victor

akinfeev ivanovic thiago silva godin gaya pogba schweinsteiger de bruyne ronaldo messi sanchez Not bad, thoughts?

1-1 shankland

Haha I do indeed, do I'll go with him again this weekend I think! Might just take a corner to break them down! Keeps it interesting at every corner!

I had £3 on Berra Fgs haha! 93 quid back! I put him on sometimes for a laugh! Never expect it to come in!

Any Northern Ireland fans on here able to offer any kind of line up prediction?

As it says, what you's reckon? I hope for Gordon Hutton Martin Berra Robertson Brown Fletcher Anya Naismith Maloney Fletcher I expect as above but Marshall, Greer, Morrison for Gordon berra and fletcher. Have a horrible feeling whitaker might come in for robertson. Think it will be a dull affair. 0-0, 1-0 us or 2-0 us. Would like to see Rhodes score off bench but don't see it happening!

Poland to win I reckon but I'll be hoping for a draw!

Very excited for this. Madrid out of sorts and Barca flying but as they say, form goes out the window for these games! Fancy 3-1 Barca but who knows. Hope the little genius messi turns up tonight. Ronaldo to score a pen at 6/1 perhaps worth a fiver right enough!

Me and a few pals thinking about going but the issue being I'm the only member, I only have one point myself and I think it'll be gone by the time of game. I imagine i'd manage to get a ticket due to being a member. Would they be able to get a ticket as non members or can you still sign up to ssc?

Yeah well thats true i suppose about the medication but you know what I meant! stick him there in his current condition. As for the tackles, think Messi would be fine, Ronaldo on the other hand...

Find it very difficult to compare generation wise which is of course the difficult part. Drop messi into there era's and he'd be 10x as fit, quicker, more professional etc. But give maradona the training and environment of a current day player and he could be even better? Who knows!

Be great to get a poll or something going, a list of players, Messi Maradona Pele Zidane Ronaldo Cruyff etc and see what the TAMB's feelings on this are. A majority Messi so far

Mental isn't it! Makes you wonder if you were born in a smaller country if you could get a few games against some of the best players in the world! I bet spaniards say similar things about us right enough!

I'm of a similar opinion, I now almost refuse to have the argument with pals over Messi/Ronaldo as in my view anyone who doesn't know by now is choosing not to! Not gonna berate someone for believing otherwise right enough! As you say though it is almost like he is a complete different species, can see him playing a pirlo/xavi type role when he reaches 34 ish as his passing is just sublime!

Was talking to a guy at my uni from Gibraltar yesterday, he was the next door neighbour of the centre mid, best pals with the left back and was at school with two of the centre backs! Also his brother was supposed to play but the police over there wouldn't give him time off work for it! He's going to meet the team the day before the game and stuff! Surreal really that they have a team that can play in qualifiers! Good on them though!

As the title says, for me yes. Although I wasn't alive for maradona and pele. Think messi does things that go beyond stats etc that you say people use to back up Cristiano Ronaldo. Last night messi was just brilliant, seen him live twice and both times it felt like I was in the company of greatness!

Atletico Madrid to win, Barca -1. Just under 3/1

Was either my first or second game as a wee guy, went to the croatia game in the same campaign. My dad still tells a story of him having me on his shoulders, as I sang "the final score was 2-2" over and over! While he tried to shut me up! i was 3/4 at the time in my defence!

I'd leave him out this squad as he needs to settle over there, but he's an integral part of our team

second of the afternoon for Jordy Rhodes, get him in the squad!

Conway for blackburn then he got subbed, probably an injury? Bannan starts for bolton.
