Dead rubber. No reason for the players to bust a gut. Portugal beat Liechtenstein by the same score yesterday. But of course England fans will create a drama out of it.

France 7-0 up v Gibraltar after 37 mins and Gibraltar down to 10 men. This could end up in the teens.
Can you believe that France score 14 goals and Griezmann doesn't score a single one, despite playing for 90 minutes?... Messed up my acca...
If England were playing Gibraltar, you just know Southgate lines up with 3 right backs and plays out a drab 2-0 win with a Kane penalty and a Gibraltar own goal the only shots all game.
I'm not sure what to make of that from France, I can't see what they get out of beating a minnow 14-0. Once they got to about six or seven wouldn't it have been classy to ease up a bit?
Taking Nathan Jones' theory about it being difficult to play against 10 men to its ultimate conclusion, 9 must be more difficult than 10, 8 must be more difficult than 9, so if every player on the opposition goes off, the team with eleven players can only score one more goal, as there is then no-one to re-start the match. Having said that, if Saints played against no players, our first attempt on goal would go wide of the target, and the match would finish, waiting for a goal kick to be taken. I really should avoid these early starts to my drinking days!
