Japan the latest team to qualify for the World Cup.

South Korea and the Aussies got some work to do.

Would be nice to have an Australia/NZ play-off. That would mean the return of the Saudis in a World Cup, possibly the biggest whipping boys in the history of the tournament.

Brazil should have their place confirmed tonight.

I'm still hoping for a Russia/Syria opener mind. Syria are currently 3rd in their group so it could happen!

Russia/USA/Iran all in the same group..

Belgium like playing Gibraltar don't they - just the NINE tonight!

Big win for France too and Sweden slipped up.

Cuntinho scores for Brazil. His back is obviously a lot better.

Cuntinho? How the mighty have fallen Hope he didn't catch another (virtual) injury

The Netherlands were destroyed yesterday at the end (when they were one man less) by France. But because Sweden lost against Bulgaria they still can qualify. I bloody hope not!!!!

So Arjen Robben, when interviewed after the match by German TV, wasn't so unhappy, and meant that he had checked off the France match already and even had a little smile on his face. That's what an 0-4 against a way better team is doing to you? Let you smiling or is it already Gallows humour because you never had a real chance in this match?

 

[Libertadores FC]

We are 2 points behind Chile with 3 matches left.

mistermagic missing.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Rooney retires and the England team news stops getting leaked, hmm....

 

[Modernist]

So hart's still Southgate's Number 1...

Apparently Harts been 'great for us so far'...Southgate must have dozed off during the Scotland match then.

It's just the sort of statement that holds us back. But no doubt he'll not be tested against more European minnows and then mess up in the World cup when it matters.

 

[Lance Stoe]

Colombia fucked up badly yesterday. 0-0 away at Venezuela. Poor result. Especially as they have 3 games left to play against

H Brazil
H Paraguay
A Peru

That Peru game could be an absolute classic

How did Paraguay smash Chile away from home yesterday??

Predictable result with Uruguay and Argentina both probably happy with the result


I just can't see Colombia qualifying.

PS New Zealand will play whoever finishes 5th in South Americas group. It might not be that easy. Wood will terrify the centre backs of a South American team

Paraguay beating Chile in Santiago was a shock but it wasn't an unthinkable result. Chile lost at home 3-0 to Paraguay in 2007 as well.

Colombia will be fine. They have been playing awful football but been getting the results. 3 more points and they're in. Even 2 might be enough.

New Zealand has no chance against any team from South America.

United's lineup leaks have suddenly stopped this season too.

Suárez on Otamendi.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Livermore

I'm sure there's some data that justifies his selection in the squad, but do we really need two workhorses in him and Henderson against a team like Malta? Southgate's greatest weakness for me is that he sees the midfield as something that exists to shield the back line and little else.

 

[SALTIRE]

Suárez on Otamendi.

Sore one but he didn't mean it for me. There was some diva stuff in that match last night though, but it was a bit dull.

It's hard to tell but he certainly seemed to keep the pressure on Otamendi's leg longer than is normal.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Livermore

Henderson and Livermore in midfield? Just like it was when Hodgson was in charge, so fucking dull.

 

[SALTIRE]

Mon the lads! Been the better side and got the reward, 1 - 0!

 

[SALTIRE]

Robbo!!! Great goal.

 

[Super_horns]

Scots doing well.

We will probably win 1-0 and Gareth will be happy enough.

Be the same old story.

 

[JoshBCFC]

Calling England an incompetent football team is an insult to incompetent football teams

 

[DarkSithLord]

Scotland have scored more goals in the qualifying group than we have. Need I say any more?

 

[SALTIRE]

And we have another ! Should be job done but you never know with Scotland!

 

[Super_horns]

NI now 2 up.

Put a curse on San Marino!

 

[epic73]

...

 

[Super_horns]

2nd seeds in the World Cup draw?

Better hope for Russia in our group then!

Malta really given up?!

 

[JoshBCFC]

Game was so dull I missed the third and fourth goals because I was on the shoutbox on here

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Rashford on the right made stuff happen whenever he got the ball. Drew players in, beat them, always positive.

We can't have England players doing that, obviously not spent enough time around the senior squad yet. It'll be beaten out of him soon I'm sure.
