Dan James' shot confirms they're as bad as us.

Gibraltar kept out Norway (with Haaland) up to the 42nd minute and then let in 2, in 3 minutes

Williams on the bench again. 

In other news Cullen starting in the middle of a five man midfield for ROI. 

Last year's Matt Smith is also on the bench, but not Levitt

Wonder what next year's Matt Smith will be like?

Who?

Do they also get 5 subs?

Only a friendly yet Qatar are of course in Group A to keep themselves playing "competitive" football up until the World Cup, rather than sitting out the whole of Qualifying and being unprepared

Beat Luxembourg 1-0 tonight, not a bad result considering that they've been improving massively of late

Certainly not one of the whipping boys in Europe anymore

Tadic got all three assists for Serbia. FotMob has him as 9.6/10

4-2-3-1?

Interesting.

I’ve absolute f all interest in the game tonight yet my 10yr old, in the hope being allowed to stay up late, is slyly building this up to be bigger than the World Cup final!

I would say so. I’d only start Sterling, Stones and possibly Chilwell in “proper game”

Because everyone is too scared to tell him to fuck off!

Did Southgate say he already knows his team for the Croatia game?

And why the fuck are we wearing blue

Stones with a poor touch early on. I’ve missed him.

I thought that was San Marino that got through on the Goalkeeper a second ago - Wondered why Pope had shaved his head before realising

Got co-commentary from Shaka Hislop on ESPN. Good stuff.

Watching England normally is depressing bit without the crowd, jeez much worse 

supaclive

This is poor

Laughable finishing from England so far tonight. Calvert Lewin and Sterling both miss sitters

EricBanterna

We are guna win the euros

Has anyone seen Nick Pope or do we think he's just logged in via. Zoom?

Really like Ward-Prowse. We can’t take anything from this game tho. These are Kent League level.

ricky_otto

Take note Ben Watson - Nigel Adkins taught Ward-Prowse all he knows. That could be you In 5 years when you are 41.

Even worse they've barely played since October

Reckon on that basis alone it will be worse for San Marino than usual

ValleyGary

Excellent cross from James

EricBanterna

Fuck, just realised, if this is basically our 2nd team, Dier is nearer the 1st team
