    Isn't it strange how the temperature in many African nations such as Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia and Libya all have temperatures that are 40+ degrees in June/July yet nobody has said this is proof they are unfit to host an international football tournament?

    You'd need a billion pounds to buy the French team.
    They're drawing 0-0 with Luxembourg after 81 minutes.

    Jan Vertonghen has scored a goal for Belgium. Its been about 5 years since he bagged one for us. About how long it'll be before Vinnie gets another one!

    Three Spurs players combine for the goal: Toby to Moose to Verts



    ...if it was three Man Utd players we wouldn't hear the end of it.

    Good memories - the Superman (SuperJan) celebration. I hope we see a Spurs version soon.

    A few more of these for us would be nice...



    Meanwhile, here is the utterly bonkers formation that Jorge Sampaoli has picked for Argentina's game with Venezuela

    He lost me when he was having difficulty picking between Fazio or Fazio, never mind the batshit selections further up the pitch.

    Sterling and Livermore out, Rashford and Dier in. Not sure why Oxo-Cube is still there, honestly.
    No creativity in the middle and another unbalanced side, for me.

    Denmark's fourth goal:


    How many corners and free-kicks is that in a week? Four, maybe?

    Am I the only one here who wouldn't mind one iota if England fail to qualify?

    Our presence in major tournaments is just as pointless as Arsenal's and even more embarassing. I'd much prefer the Spurs quartet to avoid the possibility of injury combined with the certainty of humiliation and long-lasting damage to their confidence.

    Can't help but notice that, with that short jog into the box to wait for the ball, Ozil put in more effort than he has in the past two seasons at the Emiroids

    There is no point. I wouldn't care if we withdrew altogether.

  20. Slovakia look sharper and more skillful. England on the other hand are playing with the commitment and energy of an end of season friendly. Pathetic!!
    Mind you, how the **** can we ever be taken seriously at this level playing the likes of Jones and Ox-C?? <doh>
