Half time report

San Marino 0-2 England
Rooney (penalty, but no-one seems to know why, or at least not confirmed yet)
O.G.


Just like watching Norwich v Cardiff, or Cardiff v Norwich - only without as many shots on target.
Lots of passing but bugger all penetration, that said the San Marino team is clearly performing a damage limitation exercise.
Joe Hart is busy scratching his arse
 
I like that their top scorer has scored 8 of their 20 total, but hasn't scored for 7 years.

As the commentator said, all strikers have dry spells! <laugh>
 
So, Laffers to do the business at Windsor Park tonight? I'd love to see it <ok>
Congrats also to Iceland, qualifying for a tournament for the first time in their history - not bad for a place with a total population of 329,100 <yikes>
In 8 of the previous 10 qualifying groups, they came last or second to last, so to make it through with two (2) matches to go is pretty awesome <applause>

Amazing effort for a supermarket
 
Unbelievable, Laffs pops up in the last minute and does the business for Norn Iron again!! That's seven in eight for him this campaign, quite remarkable stuff! He got booked as well so he's out of their next game, w wonder if he'll get a chance with us this season?
 
Absolutely, odd mand stupid. Players, managers et al moan about too many fixtures and so on and then we plump up the qualification process by these mickey mouse games. Let San Marion, Gibraltar, Isle of Wight and God knows who else have a tournament and only the winner of those 6 or 8 teams gets a place in a qualifying group. It is too daft for words really. IMO.

It'll gradually get worse, there are plenty of regions in Europe toying with the idea of independence, things like Venice wanting to be separate from of Italy for an example! The thing which worries me is FIFA wanted to cut the amount of UEFA countries qualifying for the world cup! Instead having more teams from Asia and Africa.
