Excluding Italy, England have a piss easy route to the final yet again. Slovakia, Italy and one of Romania, Austria, Turkey or Slovenia.
Bet Switzerland knock out Italy too.

This is the only slight problem with group stages, Portugal have stuck a pretty much 2nd team as they had already won the group, big advantage to Georgia.
According to the commentator, they’re “11 excited puppies”. I think he meant it as a compliment but maybe he needs to rethink!Quote:

They just have that habit of getting the job done right now with the absolute minimum to spare though.
Scenes for Georgia.
well done Georgia
i've had them on my mind
Georgia have fully deserved that. A real sleeves rolled up performance. Outstanding hit on the break football
Turkey go through 2-1, Czech out
And there you go. Little Georgia, full of energy and belief have qualified while Negative Norman's lads are home already.
Great performance from Georgia 👏
So Georgia a country with just over 4M qualify after beating Portugal, yet we lumber along and get knocked out too easily once again.
Amazing what having a world class forward can do for a team.Quote:

England are winning it. In Germany. Nightmare
So we should copy a team who were 9 points behind us in qualifying? They got lucky with a nations league qualification........or thats what Scotlands qualification was called at the time.Quote:
