Starting this thread tired me out to be honest, but I hope the game is a bit more exciting.
Now hoping Scotland also qualify.

What is being in a serious stressful situation got to do with the price of bacon.....?
We were just pointing out your table was wrong.....think it's you that is slightly overreacting

Last updated last night before 10pm? Why havent you provided a more up to date table? What are you trying to hide? This is fake news.

The most interesting thing about the England game, will be that, there are three players called Harry playing.
Scotland will either draw or lose, thus not qualifying again.

Even if we win we won't qualify. We'll draw Portugal in the playoff and after battling to a 1-0 win at Hampden we'll get pumped 6-0 in Lisbon.

I think Portugal will get the easiest draw going. So yeah you're right.. Scotland
I'm kidding - they'll get Greece or Northern Ireland.

Trippier doesn't seem to cross the ball that often these days, not even trying to beat a player. Was the same against us at Wembley.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but England are absolutely terrible. Passing is wayward, defending is mistake-riddled and creativity is non-existent. Must be like watching Rovers...

I think there is some financial arrangement, but probably not enough to cover players wages.
In regards to players like Wilshere and Sturridge etc the FA just hope they don't play.
