England qualify, Wales secure a minimum playoff place without playing.

Henderson in the squad isn’t an issue, Henderson starting against a France or Spain would be an issue.  Would personally prefer Wharton but Tuchel obv values his experience

Pickford should be rested for the last 2 qualifiers now, we need keepers with game experience in case Pickford gets injured/banned mid tournament.

Left back is key spot to fill…can Hall / Mitchell / Livramento be fit & make a case as Lewis-Skelly is a massive weak link against good sides for me…he should be on loan in champ learning not England team.

The commentator was talking about Harry Kane beating Jimmy Greaves record of hat tricks for England if he had scored from the free kick late on.

Harry Kane has a brilliant record 76 goals in 110 apps, but he doesn't beat Jimmy Greaves record of goals per game. Kane has a goals per game record of 0.69  Greaves scored 44 in 57 apps goals per game 0.77.

David Nugent smashes both of them.

^^ Not a great game but I was very distracted with all this MTA stuff. Philogene wasn’t great from what I saw.

He wasn’t great at all.

I’ve also noticed that that booing the bending of the knee is growing in volume as witnessed by the start of the Forest v Chelsea game. Flying flags appears to have emboldened some.

But I thought the flags had nothing to do with the colour of skin?

I like Forest. But it's wrong seeing Douglas Luiz in their kit.

Wrong wrong wrong.

I agree. Loved Dougie. He looks so much better and he also played so much better in a Villa shirt.

Chelsea have been that bad, they've made Forest look good.
