Couple of good games in a row now. Would be massive for us if he can keep this up.

Tiote MOTM, good game.

What a fucking waste of a corner

Amazing finish.

Get innn!!!!!!

Smal absolutely hates Tiote. I love him and he's been great (Tiote). Shouldn't make jokes like that when there are daft brazwedes around.

s**** rule. Yellow would be enough for fouls like that, save reds for handballs on the line and other clear goalsaving fouls. The argument against that is now you're asking the ref to make another judgment. Give red if the last player tackles a striker on empty goal. Basically if there's a goalie to beat, give yellow. If MYM does that pull outside the box, give freekick and red. Not this double punishment bullshit.

Really hasn't. Aye, was probably our worst player (which isn't saying he was poor btw) before MYM's sending off. Worse than Tiote? Tiote for me except one bad pass has been one of our best player. Been all over, beyond me you could think of him being the worst... Come on Flip, thought you were better.

Never liked the rule, double punishment which just kills games.

What a shot by Sissoko.

Come on ref.

Tiote has been good.

'Hodgson, who achieved perhaps the best moment of his career on Tuesday when England qualified for next year's World Cup...'

I guess there are some similarities.

If you meant ice hockey, it's a lot cheaper. The ground hockey thing you do with daft sticks is non-existant here.

Hockey and floorball are taking away a lot of talent in both Finland and Sweden. Wish they banned competitive floorball, absolutely pointless sport which is taking away real talent from football and hockey both. Just play Sweden vs Finland once a year with amateurs and see who's the best that year.

Pretty sure he will but if Rooney and Sturridge can produce some individual magic in the right games you'll be really hard to beat.

I'm quite optimistic about our chances to qualify to the next Euros. Mixu Paatelainen was a good appointment and he's now had two years to get his system familiar with the players without having any pressure to get results. 2016 was always the main target, especially after the horrible draw for these WC qualifiers. We played some canny stuff in Paris and but were missing two important CBs. While we don't have as many big names like Litmanen and Hyypiä as we used to, we have a decent young core who got important experience in these qualifiers. Roman Eremenko is the standout player and absolutely lovely player to watch. Teemu Pukki also needs to get minutes in Celtic to help our woeful scoring record. We have a real chance to get to the Euros if we can get a decent draw and the important players stay fit. Can't wait for the draw.

Finland and Sweden are like Russia when compared to Iceland. Proper jelly of this, hope they get through from the playoffs.

Hodgson always gives you a chance to win with his defensive setup. His teams are always hard to break (at least in an international stage). If your attacking players are on form and can score those crucial goals at playoffs, you have every chance to go far in Brazil.

Do you have to be first choice for your national team to be a good player?

Yes.
