Nobody

That probably was the initial deal, but it will obviously have suited us to get it sorted sooner and Dortmund were probably happy to take the money now as well.

Southampton fan at work can't stand Tadic and Redmond

Aye, fair point like. Anyway, while this is convoluted as fuck, at least it gets rid of the stupid friendlies.

It is if you're from England, not everywhere What does being English have to do with enjoying or not enjoying other teams? Nothing, I'm a massive xenophobe Nah, what I mean is that most people only watch their own country in internationals. This is why so many English people don't like international breaks. We're even worse to watch but our games actually mean something and I and most Irish people love internationals as a result. Its too easy for England in the qualifiers for it to be exciting Pretty much all my Swedish mates hates international weekends as well like. South American qualifiers last night were a laugh mind. Just like any football, there can be good stuff, but compared to club football it's a drag.

Pretty impressive by the US to not qualify from CONCACAF like

Lustig time wastes at a throw in in the 55th minute when they are 5 goals up so he gets a booking and misses the first play off game

That would be reason alone for me to vote remain if I was Catalan

Come 4 pm on Christmas eve, all of you will be cursing your boring families and wished there was some football you could sneak off to watch.

Tim Cahill is still in the Aussie side?

Murphy showing some pace there

Had to be him

Whotta goal by Can

Nice goal by the Germans

Lovely ball from Fletcher there

Would love football on Christmas eve tbh

"The qualification has been streamlined"

Aye. But at the same time, I feel like they don't really deserve to be there.

He's barely played in the time this squad was picked though tbf.

Fantastic hit.

Yeap, also don't think he's massively bothered about them as he hardly gets a game for them under Strachan. Looking at their midfield, I have no idea why he isn't a guaranteed starter for them. Apparently they've been a lot better with him out of the team from what I've read. Fair enough if he doesn't perform for them, I suppose. Maybe he doesn't really feel that Scottish and don't care?

Kane is bloody brilliant to be fair

Front three of Alli behind Rashford and Kane would be a very interesting way forward for England. Shame the rest of the team is nowhere near that level.

Whey, they just put on a Wolf Alice song in the pub I'm watching in it. Highlight of the evening

The fuck is Stones doing there? And how is it a free kick?
