It might stop you trying, and failing, at sarcasm.As I said. At least you finally understood what "top 6" means. That certainly bothered you yesterday.

Quote from: Risso on October 06, 2017, 03:26:01 PMEngland 38 (thirty eight!) games unbeaten in qualifiers. There haven't been any games against recognised big teams in that run, and most have been against minnows like San Marino, Scotland, Moldova and Wales, so it shows that England are the very definition of flat track bullies. Qualify easily against non entity teams, but then shit the bed every single time at the finals as soon as they meet anybody decent.Not. Biting.

Those minnows?As for England (as I do have a foot in both camps), it remains a mystery how they can get the job done so convincingly in qualifiers (the record really is very good) but struggle in the major competitions.
Netherlands fail to qualify again.

I watched Adama Traore's Mali against Jonathan Kodjia's Ivory Coast. So you don't have to.Utterly awful game.
There is something about tonights Switzerland 5 Hungary 2 scoreline that makes me think the game and scoreline belongs back in the fifties. Timewarp football.
