Netherlands losing again, currently 1-0 down against Sweden (it's live on ITV4, for those interested).

Looking at their group, they might struggle to qualify again. You'd expect France to go through while Sweden, Bulgaria and Belarus will cause them problems.

I was going to do a general qualifiers thread once the concacaf zone would have given its 6 teams for the final round. Curse you, GG!

I could have talked of riveting surprises like Japan losing at home to UAE and Syria not looking that bad.

The Dutch equalise through Sneijder.

Portugal 2-0 down at Switzerland. They've actually got an easy group but no doubt they'll struggle through as usual.

The European champions are 2 down against the Swiss.

Dutch pulled it back to 1-1 and France being held in Belarus.

The Faroe Islands and Luxembourg also gaining points at the moment.

Damn, Oranje got a point at Sweden. I really had hoped they would start the qualifiers with a loss that would bring the pressure right from the beginning. So with France held to a draw at Belarus all the favourites in this group are even. But I am still hoping that France and Sweden are #1 and #2 at the end and Oranje will miss the next tournament after Euro 2016 :D

The Portugal result isn't surprising to me. Well done, Switzerland!

0-0 with the Czech in Prague is a good result for us, not a classic but our games never are but good point to start off with.

German soon away which could be a spanking if not careful.

That's indeed a good result and could be decisive in the end for #2 in the group. I hope it doesn't sound too arrogant (which isn't my attitude at all) but Germany will qualify as #1. As lazy as we are sometimes in meaningless friendlies as concentrated we are when it counts. And because only #1 qualifies for sure there's no room for laziness.

We'll see us this October in my state Lower Saxony, in Hannover and next year in October in ....where? ...Belfast? I'll keep my fingers crossed that Norn Iron will finish #2

German soon away which could be a spanking if not careful.

Norway was lucky to get only 3 in Oslo could've been 5 or 6 but that doesn't mean it happens every match. And you already were careful at the Euro where you lost only 0-1 (and Germany nearly had a dozen big chances but your goalkeeper made the match of his life )

Dirk, think you can beat the mighty San Marino who once beat Lichtenstein?

Italy were absolutely shit last night but managed to scrape a 1-1 draw against Spain thanks to an Eder dive and De Rossi penalty.

Ventura had the Italians playing the same way as they were under Conte just without the intensity, which is kinda key...

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
So.... They've got a 'dab cam' at Wembley...

That's me done...

Malta are playing with a flat 5-4-1.

This could be an unbearable watch.

Those shin pads Rose has thrown on before he comes on aren't gonna offer much protection.
Hope the lads done some Kickboxer type tree kicking to strengthen them shins.

If Scotland can beat this shower 1-5 away I'm expecting England to stroll this 5 , 6 or 7 surely to fuck ?

Didn't Scotland have a dodgy penalty and a dodgy red card to aid them to what most called an undeserved scoreline in that one?

I didn't see it but that's what I recall people saying after the match.

Couldn't tell you Steven. Not got a great interest in International football. Last time I watched a full Scotland game was probably....well, tbh I cannot remember. I'm a Rangers fan & that's it mate. I'm watching this cos it's on. I won't be watching the Scotland game v Lithuania.

PS, I thought you were going to tell me what a dab cam was.....:lol:

Looked at the stats and it turns out Malta had two red cards! Not sure how fair they were, though.

The "dab" is that stupid dance a lot of players use for celebrations...

...Silkyman hates it because a couple of Manchester United players do it and every time England play he is unable to put his petty club grievances aside and spends most of the time castigating United players.

I hope that helped.

Henderson is showing Rooney up so far. All the forward passing coming from the Liverpool man, sideways and slow from Rooney.

Love watching Rooney strut around pretending to be Zidane, taking a breather after making each successful 8-yard pass against Malta, and still failing to influence the play in any way whatsoever. He is rubbish.
