2-0 win hardly breaking sweat. These games are less competitive than the Nations League which is better competition for our players. Hopefully Poland with Lewandoski may prove a bit more dangerous...
Fantastic goal by Israel - 1-0. Edit - just seen the replay. The Scottish keeper didn't cover himself in glory.
Not sure if I am the only one that feels like this, but I find watching England extremely difficult. We have all these multi millionaire top football players that sometimes appear to me, not give 100% for the shirt. I feel I may get shouted down - however 5 - against San Marino. Why isnt the scoring higher? Is it the managers tactics or formation? As only one team can qualify from the group, goals scored could count so why not pick Kane (even for 45 mins). I know football is about opinions, but really thought that both games, San Marino and Albania - were disappointing. Maybe they will / can /might play better against better opposition. ..,
We don't have a truly world class midfielder that can dictate play and generally pull teams apart with the killer pass. Two defensive midfielders against the likes of Albania is truly shameful with the quality we have. That, amongst other things, is why Southgate will never be a trophy winner as manager. Put Pep in charge of England and we'd re-write the record books...
I see that Seny started for Senegal this afternoon in their 1-1 draw with Eswatini........nope me neither!!!!!! Apparently Senegal are ranked 2nd in Africa and Eswatini 53rd............
World Cup qualifying latest Is there another shock on the cards in Group A? Fresh from beating Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg have taken the lead against European champions Portugal. Gerson Rodrigues has scored the goal, diving in unmarked to head home.
