"Malta are not easy to beat they play lot of football no wonder England are having problems" ITV commentator😂

Great, a country that is approx. 16x14 miles with all the footballing power at its disposal giving the minnows of England such a tough time.

I was out tonight unusually and saw it in the pub .  Five minutes from the end I went for a piss with England 2-0 to the good, when I came back it was 4-0.

I was thinking prior to going out, is this the poorest line-up I've ever seen for England?

To think how shit our defence has been this season and three of England's back four tonight are ex Villa players.
Supporting Villa is a lot like listening to the theme tune from whatever happened to the likely lads

Made me laugh and at the same time a bit sad.

My prediction:
England 1 Slovakia 1
Scotland 2 Malta 0

That would do. Scotland need to win all games to secure second so long as England don't lose to Slovakia. I can't really see us qualifying but it's nice to see us in with a vague chance, even that looked unlikely a few games ago.

4-0 really flattered England last night. It was a poor performance overall and illustrates all that is wrong with this qualifying process. England always roll over opposition  qualify and fail at the tournament. Hopefully Southgate is making plans for a better than average tournament next year.

I think Scotland's dismal record can be explained by the fact that other nations are so envious of the wonderful land and bright intelligent gifted population that they just try much much harder to beat them and mostly succeed partially by their own effort but mostly by Scottish compassion. I mean where else in the world can you fill a bottle with water from the nearest stream and 3 days later it turns into fine malt whiskey?

I see the Chancer is covering the Spain v Italy match on ITV4. Every time I see his face I want to slap it many times

MON acting an absolute cock on Irish TV after the game. How dare the interviewer question the caveman tactics from the petulant little sh*t. Whelan a complete passenger again, expecting a lot more from Harry Arter in a green shirt  but he looks lost so far.

...Whelan a complete passenger again

It's good to see a player taking his club form into Internationals

Unfortunately it seems Hughes knew what he was doing with Whelan. Might be a season too far for Glenn.
