I could absolutely see us taking a punt on him for that kind of fee.

You have to take into account the 'London weighting' in that everything is more expensive there.

OPEN WIIIIIDE FOR SOME SOCCER!

YOU ESSAY! YOU ESSAY!

Reinvested a quid on a further 9-team acca overnight that returns something in the region of £52.

Feeling so so proud of myself for seeing Italy were playing away to a better-than-minnows side and thinking better of it. Been my undoing so many times before.

My favourites acca just waiting on Portugal to sneak in safely, for about £14.

Canny deflection 0-5

Walcott's first touch he's channeling Obertan's spirit or something.

Walcott's touch in the build-up to that goal :lol: really good passing around the box there though tbf.

Knew exactly what was going to happen there. Defoe, in the right channel, Oxlade-Chamberlain completely unmarked at the back post. Jermain Defoe doesn't even get his fucking head up, blasts a shot off the defender, which hits back off him and goes out for a goal kick. His awareness on the pitch is utterly shite, he's far too selfish.

1-1.

This referee seems to give handball for any scenario where the ball is blasted at a defender from about half a yard.

As much as the commentators are exaggerating here, it's not always a formality when England play a minnow side. We've struggled to play well a lot of the time, come out with some shit 0-0s and we normally labour to a 1-0 - this is much better to see.

Crisp packet hands there.

Great header Plump. 2-0

Ginger Collins sent off for the Welshies.

Luxembourg lead Portugal! :lol:

Just lost the ball again

Gerrard ffs

Good pen. 1-0.

Pel England!

TBH, if we're going to give them both a game together this is the sort of game where their 'experience' will benefit the younger players. Agree with the sentiment though. It has been over 6 years since "we can't play them together ffs!" at the WC in Germany.

Liechtenstein 1-8 Bosnia and Herz. with 5 minutes left to go there simply must be pre-qualifiers added into these WC and Euro qualifying phases.
