England lose so you pick on Scotland FOR WINNING.ForeverAddickted said:Bloody clinical... Andorra had one shot last night in the 90th min... one goal to end up drawing with Kazakhstan, means that they're unbeaten in 2018 and sit second (out of four teams) in their Group.
Watched up until the first goal of the Scotland game last night and god did they deserve to be in Level C... Wasted so many good chances in the first half by miskicking the ball from a good position was getting a bit laughable, its a shame for them really because they were creating some good chances, just need to find a really good goal scorer
Still see them struggling to qualify for the Euros via. the Nations League route as if they win their Group it looks like they'll go into a Play-Off facing two from: Greece | Bulgaria | Serbia

The amount of times the ball was swing in from the left only for the Striker to pirouette made me wonder if I was watching Ballet @ Hampton Park rather than Football during the first half mate... Not to mention hitting the post from a header that was practically on the line and then the first goal that wouldnt have happened had their defender not forgotten what way he was shootingcafcdave123 said:

Certainly see all the Home Nations constantly being relegated and promoted; whilst I think England can handle Level A I think they'll be relegated a few times yet will be too good for Level B, same with Wales (Who I reckon will mainly sit around Level B rather than being promoted or relegated)
For Scotland | Northern Ireland | Ireland I see them being able to handle Level C yet wonder if they've got enough to be able to handle Level B - Still really hope that all five get to Euro 2020 though and also hope that the 20/21 Nations League has a Group filled with the Home Nations in a mini-British Championship0 -
i can see england flip flopping between leagues1

Remember when football used to be a simple game? Have not the slightest interest in this competition - the European version of the Checkatrade Trophy for me.0

Unless you are San Marino. They still got hammered as per usual, 5-0 at Belarus.palarsehater said:
this aswell cannot do any team any good to be hammered every game, and it gives them a competitive game even scotland managed to get a win last night i hear they were dancing in the streets of glasgow argentinia/croatia/iceland shirts on and everything.Callumcafc said:I’m liking it too.
You only have to look at the wins and subsequent celebrations for countries like Faroe Islands and Liechtenstein to see how delighted they are to be winning games in a competitive environment.0 -
Looking forward to Spain v Croatia tonight. If both teams take it seriously it could be a superb game.0

3-0 Spain alreadyCharltonMadrid said:Looking forward to Spain v Croatia tonight. If both teams take it seriously it could be a superb game.
Maybe we did play well on Saturday haha0 -
Marco Asensio looking really good for Spain. Two great strikes for two of the goals although the second bounced off the crossbar onto the back of the keeper's head then into the net. He seems to be developing into an excellent player and is being given a big role at Real Madrid this season.1

How can people expect England to win anything when half the team aren't deemed good enough to be regulars at their clubs?0

Half the main squad have been rested today as its a friendly and Gareth is looking at full squad but from the proper 1st 11 they are regularsjondon76 said:How can people expect England to win anything when half the team aren't deemed good enough to be regulars at their clubs?

Jesus wept that was a piss poor first half. Swiss should be at least 1 up. What’s the point of playing the second 11?0

Spaim 4-0 Croatias goal difference taking a hit1

Butland is dog shite.0

Because its a friendly, isnt that the idea of friendlies to give other players the experience on the big stage and see how they perform.1StevieG said:Jesus wept that was a piss poor first half. Swiss should be at least 1 up. What’s the point of playing the second 11?

Great atmosphere at the game as well in Elche, watching it on TV. Spain always move around the country to play their national games and it is a big event in each city they go to. Not sure what atmosphere is like in Wembley these days for England games but sometimes think that playing in different stadiums around the country to more passionate fans would give the England players more of a boost. Gives more people a chance to see the national team as well.paulie8290 said:Spain 5-0

Most of this lot played in the World Cup. It’s not like they have not played much football on the big stage. He should have put in a few of the youngsters that are coming through.paulie8290 said:

Rashford.
Henderson has played every game even if it is as in impact sub.
Rashford has been in and out as you say.
So not including Rose because he was injured.
Henderson and Rashford are not 1st team regulars.
So 2 out of 11, how is that half the squad0 -

Scotland isnt a real country.ForeverAddickted said:
As JohnnyBev says, thats more of a friendly rivalry - i.e. Its the one chance they get to have a wash when they come down to Wembley as they can all jump into the fountains at Trafalgar SquareStu_of_Kunming said:
We have a big rivalry with Scotland, it doesn't mean we shouldn't play them.johnnybev1987 said:
Not political but i am sure there have been issues in the past, i remember the fans confronting was it Kolorov? there is a big rivalry as far as im aware ofForeverAddickted said:
I dont think there are major political issues between the two else they wouldnt be put togetherjohnnybev1987 said:Whos bright idea to put Serbia and Montenegro in the same group??
i.e. Azerbaijan | Armenia ... Spain | Gibraltar ... Albania | Kosovo arent allowed to put into the same Group for that reason4 -
Rose played really well yesterday. Maguire was good again and RLC and TAA had fair games. After that I’m struggling.0

Early days under Enrique, but Spain look like they could be getting back to the levels of 2008-2012.
Croatia's heaviest ever defeat last night.1 -
Crazy as they had Modric | Rakitic | Vida | Perisic etc. all playing last nightChris_from_Sidcup said:Early days under Enrique, but Spain look like they could be getting back to the levels of 2008-2012.

Only player I seem to remember retiring from International Football was Mandzukic0 -
Must've been because the world's best defender Lovren was missing.ForeverAddickted said:

doesn't make our slender loss look as bad and goes to show what difference a couple of months can make, probably the best scenario for us, croatia wont be amazing behind closed doors as wont have any fans so will be a strange game to watch, spain away i think we can write off then leaves us with something to get against the croatians in november at wembley to avoid relegation which would see us get a top seed in euro 2020 qualifying.0

I would believe with 12-teams in League A and 10-Groups for Euro 2020 Qualifying that the only way we wont be a top seed is if we're one of the two worst relegated sides - Seeing that Iceland have -9 GD I imagine one will be them whilst I wont be surprised if Holland are the other seeing they've had the joy of having France and Germany in their Grouppalarsehater said:doesn't make our slender loss look as bad and goes to show what difference a couple of months can make, probably the best scenario for us, croatia wont be amazing behind closed doors as wont have any fans so will be a strange game to watch, spain away i think we can write off then leaves us with something to get against the croatians in november at wembley to avoid relegation which would see us get a top seed in euro 2020 qualifying.

Also given that Croatia got a humping last night and have a terrible goal difference, i'd expect that if we can beat them at Wembley (or draw home and away to them) then we won't finish bottom of our own groupForeverAddickted said:
