    Was that goal that Abraham scored a more difficult chance than the one he spooned over the bar earlier?

    Italy need a goal to avoid the play-offs...

    England's bench is a bit rubbish because of the withdrawals. I know Southgate likes a settled squad, but a shame he couldn't have called up a couple more fringe attacking players
    Do we need any more attacking players?  
  • 10-0😂
  • I'm sorry but I honestly don't see the point in teams like San Marino playing international football.  They haven't improved in 30 years.  In fact, I think they've got gradually worse.

    I find it embarrassing & degrading to the competition

    Nice finish from Abraham
    About time!

    Youd be worried if he played two halves of football coming on when we are 5-0 and 6-0 up and he never scored at all!

    And a free header for Saka for 10 :)

    I could have scored that. 
  • Take that 9-0 for the most ridiculous VAR decision re Abraham

    FIFA require that all nations compete in qualifying... perhaps a pre-qualifying round can be implemented?

    Ref must be a lazio fan..... 
  • 10-0, 2 disallowed. Is golfie moaning that there isn’t any attacking threat on the bench?

    *sigh* and Gallagher would've got an assist there if the ref hadn't blown up for a foul.

    If it was Charlton we’d still be saying “one more and I’ll start to feel comfortable”

    No, but it feels silly to have to bring on defenders as subs, as that's all we have

    Ridiculous having this lot playing at this level. Stick the San Marinos in with the Liechtensteins so they can actually be competitive

    Moaning the lack of a nippy striker.

    The whole “why are they playing at this level” argument has been done a thousand times and is still boring and pointless.

    If you don’t like watching England smash ten goals past teams, then don’t fucking watch. 
  • Hope the referee add on injury time.

    He will blow up bang on 90

    To be fair, it's not good enough. We should be putting teams like this to the sword.

    I'd be a lot more annoyed about the level of opposition if Charlton hadn't played at the weekend. As it is, we can just sit back and enjoy.

    ‘Made an impossible task even more arduous’

    Profound words from Matteface there!
  • 4 goals subs a red card and 1 minute extra time.

    Havant Manager must be the referee ;)

    Should've put more strikers on and gone for it.
  • Scrapped a win there on a poor pitch. Substitutes from Southgate were a bit iffy when we needed to put on the pressure. 

    Lucky to get out the group on that performance 
  • Hope the referee add on injury time.
    Had 28/1 on the keeper to be booked. Time wasting was unbelievable. Never thought he would book him, but was taking a minute per goal kick.
