They get in touch with Serge and say how did you manage it...
It probably ties in with his last visit to the U.K which was around about that era
And I hope that Serge adds "and if you have a 19 goal striker available you pick him in the squad you daft ****"
The exciting news is that England could go through tonight without even kicking a ball.
England will be assured of progression if two of the third-placed finishers from the three groups settled today end on three points or fewer. In Group I, that is guaranteed – neither Senegal nor Iraq have a point yet and will know a win is a must if they are to go through.
In Group H, any of the quartet of competing nations could finish third. Spain top the group on four points but could drop down if they are beaten by Uruguay and Cape Verde overcome Saudi Arabia. A Uruguay draw with Spain would guarantee England progress – they would move to three points and either finish third if there is a winner in the other game, or be level on points with Cape Verde if they draw with Saudi Arabia. A Saudi Arabia win in those circumstances would take them through in second.
The permutations in Group G are similar, though England may already be confirmed in the knockout stages by the time the final fixtures are held. Egypt top the group on four points and play Iran, who have two – the same tally as Belgium, who take on New Zealand. Only a scenario in which Iran beat Egypt and there is a winner in the Belgium–New Zealand game will provide a third-placed finisher on four points.
Be still my beating heart.
My German pal says Gordon looks like a weird old man. Couldnt really argue with him! He still cant believe we got Walter as manager, gave me the heads up on that joker he did! Neuer very poor last night. I predict we beat Panama anyway, and that Tuchel sorts out the wingers, even old Man Gordon
I think he looks more like a middle aged woman personally.
Gordon looks like a teenager who's just spent 15 hours in makeup to look like his own grandad for an Ant and Dec bit
I honestly think it’s time for a minnows World Cup, played alongside the elite one. It would give the smaller holiday destinations, other Drs & Scotland an opportunity to succeed.
What seems **** to me is
Some groups 1st place plays 2nd place
Some 1st place plays third place
Whats that about?
Japan and cape verde finishing 2nd in tough groups rewarded with brasil and argentina
While australia who finished 2nd are playing 2nd place from another group
In their case
Egypt

Yes
point is due to 8 3rd place teams
The knockout is skewed
Not like it matters i suppose
