    Fair point though. Reflects on Tuchel's comments about the Wembley fans too - I just don't think international football excites people at all any more, particularly outside of tournaments.

    I think it is one of those where to Wales it is a fierce rivalry and to England it isn’t. If it was Scotland then I suspect there would have been more atmosphere.

    Especially for us where qualifying for a tournament is basically a formality. I don't watch any England games outside of tournaments really.

    Also it's a bit of a mismatched opponent in a friendly and we were 3 up after 20 minutes which plays a part. Atmosphere generally thrives on jeopardy.

    Goowan Faroe Islands, great win against Czech Republic for them.

    Didn't realise this but they've actually got 12 points!

    We wuz robbed!...:mad:
    Sholing suffered a controversial loss away at second in the table Gloucester City after a really good performance.
    After an even first half, The Boatmen were on top before having a man sent off with a straight red having been deemed to be the last defender despite two defenders covering. Then in injury time the ref gave a very soft penalty to hand the game to Gloucester.
    This video inexplicably doesn't show the sending off...

    Blimey, both Rohl and Ralph now linked to the Rangers job.

    Rangers are simply going through our list of previous managers, in reverse order. They'll try for Poch next, then McMenemy, before deciding on Ted Bates (well, his statue)

    I suspect Ted Bates’ statue would do a better job than RM…

    Sweden have Isak and Gyokeres up front, and yet are losing at home to Kosovo, and sit bottom of their group, with one point.

    Something not adding up there.
