I really think these play offs should be straight out of the hat personally .
It seems pretty evident to me that it's designed for the bigger footballing nations to qualify even though they've had an iffy qualifying campaign .
Money as ever is the reason .
The hypocrisy isn't lost on me , we want all the historically top footballing nations at the world cup but we'll host it in Qatar .
Second place in qualifying is second place and that makes everyone equal in my opinion .
Can England get to the very next level and lift that trophy in Qatar ?
There's no doubt we've the talent and what impresses me is that many of them are better players for their country than they are for their clubs .
After a semi final then making a final is winning the world cup the next logical step .
Dare you even dare to dream with England or is this monkey on our backs permanent .
If you haven't got dreams then what's this game all about ?
Just one time in my life , that's all I ask before I depart this world .
Never have a better chance in my opinion .
Although I'm sure the Belgium's feel the same .
Who knows ????
He has to learn from the mistakes of the semi final against Croatia and the Euro final against the Italians Pass .
When you are on top and a goal up you can't take your foot off the throat .
You have to continue to be positive and still take risks .
I don't care what anybody says we should have made the World Cup final and won the Euros .
We beat ourselves mate .
You'd hope the penny has dropped .
But like you I couldn't say with any confidence .
Forza di talia , only way england will win anything ? Is if all the top nations drop out , 55 year's and counting since winning a trophy , but some big wins !! San marino, albania, etc , not good enough and never will be , overated and certainly overpaid , with a poor yes man as manager !!!!
Agree about the manager Roma, we had a right chance in the euros but went conservative and we know the outcome. When you’ve got your foot on their neck kill em off.
What an interesting possible couple of matches ehh, for places in next years World cup finals.
Wales v Scotland and Portugal v Italy could happen, if they all win their home Semi's.
Aww no, what on earth are we going to do if Italy fail to qualify again. 😁
