Sorry.

Wales v England 0-3
Scotland v Italy 0-4
Northern Ireland v Azerbaijan 2-2

Not that I'm going to see any of it. Cunts.

Believe me, if you're English you didn't want to see that. Awful, awful performance, scraped through with a deflected goal and a miracle save by Robinson. Woeful.

Well done Norn Iron, though.

Knew it was a good idea not to pay $25 for that one.

1-0 away to Wales, in a stadium where most of the English players have played at least as much as the Welsh, just doesn't cut it. Even the staunchest Sven supporters (are there any) must be conceding that he's not really cutting it any more (even though we did get the most important thing, the three points).

But who would we have as manager instead of him?

I listened to it on 5Live, nearly fell asleep to be honest, sounded like a dire game to watch. 3 points is 3 points though I guess.

What a fantastic, well put together goal we just put past Italy

Hold me, I'm scared . . .

I'm a score predicting genius I tell ya.

I win, I think.

Fucking awesome performance from the boys in blue (especially K Miller), unlucky to lose the two extra points to a deflection, but we'd have taken a draw against Italy from the word go, so I'm counting that as a result.

Blimey. I can't believe there's 74 pages of football discussion this season already and almost nobody has anything to say about those games.

Yeah, it's a bit quiet. They were both on pay-per-view for me, so I didn't see either of them and so can't comment, other than to say that's a cracking result for Scotland, regardless of the fact they were actually ahead for a lot of the game.

Yep, but without wanting to put a dampener on things - we usually put in the plucky battling performance against the big boys don't we. Watch us slump to a dismal 2-0 defeat to Norway midweek.

Maybe. But this wasn't the usual backs-to-the-wall stuff, this was an immense performance in which we were a shade unlucky not to take, and deserve, three points off one of the world's top teams. Played some really great football, most notably the goal, which was a peach. But Miller was tremendous throughout, unrecognisable from previous games, and made a total monkey out of Alessandro Nesta for 75 minutes.

Also: 90th-minute winner for Norway in Slovenia. Bollocks.

holland played abysmal, but due to the czechs loss, our 1-0 victory over mighty armenia almost guarantees us a place in germany.
