as a side note i'm really looking forward to seeing England play and it makes me proud to say i am watching the world cup semi finalists vs Spain, after an unforgettable summer hope there is a bit of noise and a big gstq for the 3 lions.
The World Cup performance has definitely led to a greater buzz about this. Me and a couple of lads are thinking of heading to Spain for the return fixture. We'll go without tickets and try and get some in the home end or will just soak up the atmosphere in the city for a couple of days.

a match like that in quite a big staidum ( real betis ) ground you will get tickets in the home end easy enough and usually quite a few english do this even put there flags up etc.
id rather these games against decent european teams instead of freindly against usa!! how on earth are they gonna shift 90,000 for that on a november tuesday night.

I bought mine a minute ago, £16 for a student ticket. Just need to get myself a MAGA hat for this game.
Not convinced by this, it'll be interesting how seriously the bigger teams take this, will they put out full strength teams and give 100%?
They should do since they can qualify for the European Championship through it.
The larger countries will assume that they'll qualify anyway
The qualifying in 2019 looks pretty intense, 5 lots of double games during international breaks
Matchday 1 21–23 March 2019 Matchday 2 24–26 March 2019 Matchday 3 7–8 June 2019 Matchday 4 10–11 June 2019 Matchday 5 5–7 September 2019 Matchday 6 8–10 September 2019 Matchday 7 10–12 October 2019 Matchday 8 13–15 October 2019 Matchday 9 14–16 November 2019 Matchday 10 17–19 November 2019
pretty sure for 2020 england ( if we went the whole way )
would play 2 group games, 1/4, semi and final at wembley, what would be quite hilarious is if scotland/ireland/wales failed to qaulify and we had to play a group game in one them cities.

2nd december 2018 is the draw for the group stage of qaulifying
Euro 2020 is going to be a strange tournament, games held literally all over the place, minnows qualifying, games held in countries who won't have even qualified.
I'm sure it will all work out perfectly, but it just seems like a bit of a mess right now.
Did anyone ever figure our how this works re qualification for the Euros?
Yeah its a back door route to the Euros if you fail to qualify via the standard route that'll begin next March
Basically the four Group winners from each Level A / B / C / D go into their own play offs, the four winners will then qualify for the Euros
If you qualify via the original route AND win your Nations League Group, your play off spot in the latter gets given to the next best team who didnt qualify by the original route
Thanks - that’s the clearest explanation I’ve heard so far !
shame if they dont want to take it seriously in my opinion wearing the shirt of your country should be the proudest thing you ever achieve as a footballer, unfortunately i do not think this is the case with a lot of the players.
also if you arent gonna try let us know so we don't bother turning up to wembley to support the team.
Southgate explained: Does not need to bring in an experienced goalkeeper just to watch them in training, wanted to have a close up of Bettinelli and it's only the Nations League anyway
so this nations thingy won’t see us qualify that route fully unless we fail by the usual method ? So we will be trying to qualify on two fronts at the same time ? But the usual league format of qualification will finish first and then we will have the nations thingy as back up if not qualified by the usual route? Say we miss out on the nations thingy and then struggle through normal qualification , will there be a normal qualification back up play off thingy , asking for a Scottish friend of mine :-)

As its a Semi-Final | Final format competition for each level those Play-Offs will be
26th - 28th March 2020 (Semi-Finals)
29th - 31st March 2020 (Final)
Means the four winners of the Play-Offs will only have two and a half months before Euro 2020 actually begins
I'd love to know when the draw for the Group Stages will be as wont give fans long to purchase tickets / flights for select games either
So regardless there will still be four teams that wont know their opponents until a few months before the competition begins
would play 2 group games, 1/4, semi and final at wembley, what would be quite hilarious is if scotland/ireland/wales failed to qaulify and we had to play a group game in one them cities.

Sterling has pulled out. There's always the suspicions that if this was a proper qualifying match, he would have stayed
Makes no sense if you have the chance to replace him then why not.
Imagine if something happens to Rashford warming up or something and we are left with Kane and Welbeck.
1st day the players met up was today so if Sterling was injured call Walcott or call Lookman and get them to join up quickly
also if you arent gonna try let us know so we don't bother turning up to wembley to support the team.

Bettinelli called up WTF
Well, it's different, I'll give em that.
