Well, they appear to be Millwall fans for a start Plus some of the England fans were singing anti German war songs. Its embarrassing. I'm not saying the guys in the photo were (although if I was a betting man I would say they did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Might be just me but England seemed to have played every east European team in the last 10 years in qualifying...this one has Lithuania and Slovenia, played Estonia and Slovakia in recent times, had Ukraine a few times aswell and also Belarus. Even if they're top seeds there's nothing to say you can't get a decent second seed in there to make it interesting as you see with the groups where Spain and Italy are in the same group and also Swiss and Portugal. Growing up I remember the qualifying campaign that went right to the death between England and Italy...England went to Rome and got a 0-0. That match was built up like the world cup final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 2-0. Job Done. Southgate starts Defoe, defoe scores. Changes it up by bringing on Vardy and Rashford, Vardy scores 5 minutes later. Vindication there. Always dull games these though when the opposition don't do much ( fair enough for them ) and we don't have enough guile to do more. Not sure what a manager is expected to do in a few days training a few times a year mind. Still, on we go, only team not to concede a goal in the qualifiers now as well, though I suppose there's no reason why we should have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Sounded boring, glad I didn't bother watching that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Probably why we are so crap in the tournaments, we play such shit teams that when we play someone half decent they lose. Although Iceland was utter humiliation. They disgraced the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 watched the first 30 minutes or so, awful game, Lithuania offered absolutely nothing, defoe doing what he does, think id seen him touch the ball 3 times before he scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Think I was lucky this evening. initially forgot it was on, switched on the tv as the first goal went in. Switched off as was sorting kids out after tea and as soon as I switched back on, we scored again. Watched for 10 mins thought it was awful so gave up!

mikeyp102 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Didn't see much of today, but sounds like we did what was needed and nothing more. Shows how little choice England have these days that Defoe had to play. Remember the good old days when the likes of Fowler and Ferdinand couldn't get a game because we had that many top strikers. About the games being the way they are, I do wonder if it's time we had pre qualifiers. Yes I know it may seem unfair for the smaller nations, but it would take out these dead rubbers Edited March 26, 2017 by mikeyp102 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 1 country 1 vote the top 5/6 teams might vote for it* but the bottom 30 odd nations wouldnt * im not even sure the top nations would, the english FA love a moral boosting 6-0 games vs a shit team, get some money in the coffers, as long as no one gets injured they wont care 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
