lol at the Dele tweet.

Syria scored a 93rd minute equaliser and make the play offs, so can still qualify. Saudis in the play offs, then an American side (could be the USA).

Wonder what their firm will be like if they make it.

Lol everyone thought history was gonna be made last night if Federer beat Potro and went on to go up against Nadal for the first time at the US Open but Federer played some of the worst Tennis I've ever witnessed him play. Pretty funny if you ask me.

Ireland ****ed up again, as per. No trip for the Green Army next year, methinks. Trip down to the local's about as far as we'll get. Ah well. We should be used to it by now. "Wait! You're supposed to WIN your games? ****! That's where we've been going wrong all this time!"

~~Cuthbert~~ · 10-05-2017, 07:43 AM

Tonight:

England vs Slovenia (we win 2-0)
Northern Ireland vs Germany (tough match, Germany 2-1 but means little)
Scotland vs Slovakia

Scotland game is massive. A win and they go 2nd as England will not lose to Slovenia. Maybe the biggest game Scotland have played since 1998 vs Brazil? Win that, and then they play Slovenia away on Sunday where a draw there will secure a play off place.

Wales without Bale for their two qualifiers. Now is the time to prove they aren't a one man team.

tbh i don’t think Wales are a one man team. i mean, obv will see how they perform, but i’ve never felt like Bale has been the one carrying them. it’s really nice to have someone to rely on when you need those big goals. Rambo will step up in his absence. maybe Ben Woodburn gets some time as well? he looks great so far.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 10-05-2017, 11:41 AM

Probably less of a blow now than it would have been a couple years ago where he really was carrying them and contributing to pretty much every goal. But it is a blow to the team. If they're trailing and need a goal, they are up against it imo.

Captain Kane

Deserved. Should be our full time captain too. Harry Kane should be leading England's Lions.
