Pathetic that some would boo him. Euro finalists and World Cup semi-finalists, the guy's been outstanding for them. For the bigger football nations the Nations League's nothing to lose sleep over and I'll be surprised if England don't have a decent enough World Cup with the players they have. Those fans should be careful what they wish for.Quote:

Nations League (I think) also plays a part in seedings for qualifying campaigns. They might not get their usual stroll.
They’re not suddenly turning in to a good team in Qatar after their last few performances (in games they’ve absolutely been taking seriously).

Overrated squad as per usual. They’ll get beat again from Germany on Monday. Glorious 😃
Fair enough. I don’t know the ins and outs of this competition.Quote:

Watched Hungary game instead of England . Good side Hungary . Sorry about your bet .know how it feels .Had 5 up a couple of weeks ago waiting on Man city away to villa on the Sunday . Over 500 quid . Hopefully next time mate :aok:Quote:

Ukraine changed their entire starting 11 for the game against Armenia and are 1-0 up at half-time, so leapfrogging us, hopefully only temporarily.
Armenia 0-2 Ukraine
Armenia 0-3 Ukraine
Armenia 0-4 Ukraine
Armenia 0-5 Ukraine
Full time Armenia 0-5 Ukraine.
Scotland's task is now clear;
Avoid defeat tonight and then a point will be enough in Poland on Tuesday night.
Lose tonight and we must win on Tuesday.
