Wales very fortunate to get a draw, outplayed by the Georgians particularly in the second half. Their's is probably the most competitive group in the European section and they'll be lucky to even get a play-off place if they play like this again...
 
I heard John Hartson interviewed a few weeks ago and he was still cock a hoop from Wales brilliant tournament in France. He more or less said they would piss this group and everybody else was fighting for second place. Wales were the team to beat, apparently. Maybe they still will be but drawing at home to Georgia doesn't instill fear into the other teams in the group.
The other teams will of course be ****ting themselves by having to face the might of uber qualifiers and tournament failures, England.

Will you please stop fulfilling the stereotype of disliking your own country.
 
Oh look - England scored - only twice. Against a minnow team. How sad. They can only score twice, against that side? At home! That's how low England has become. Whereas Portugal scored 6 the other day. That's where England is.

It would appear that we are at least on a par with Italy?

Bad goal for the Republic of Ireland to concede, against the run of play, just before half-time against footballing minnow Moldova (1-1).

It underlines England got another good result as they have for a long time now in qualifiers. A win over almost anyone in European football now is no given at all, as most of the top football nations have found out.

It was poor performance and result by Wales. Georgia are a poor footballing nation and Wales should have beaten them. It was a **** result by Wales.

Yes, England picked up three points. But Malta at Wembley are weak opponents and it should have been more convincing.
 
No, because they won WC in 2006 and was at the Final of the Euros in 2012. What's England's done in the modern game? Nothing.


I think you have spectacularly missed the point.
The fact that Italy have been relatively successful is exactly the point.
They didn't hammer Malta either.

You would know about spectacularly missing everything. You do it every week Col

Oh and Italy just came back from 2-1 to beat Macedonia. Not a bad job considering.

Whereas England have not been "relatively successful" in any way shape or form for the past 50 years, so you don't get the point. Only winning trophies count

It is true that these are facts. I was wondering if Italy were pacing themselves in their typical controlled way, or has Malta suddenly become a much better footballing nation. I even checked their recent results and see that in September they lost 5-1 to Scotland. Q.E.D.

Nope....................you're still not getting it.

It's OK, Col. Your misunderstanding directly stems from you not having gone to school to get educated. Still lashing out with assumptions as usual, aren't you, because you really don't know. It's OK mate. We all know the truth. We'll take care of it. We'll take it from here. Keep your nonsensical stuff to yourself mate.

You clearly realise that you've made a bit of a knob of yourself and are now writing complete gibberish.

Like Malta, Macedonia have also demostrated quite a stingy defense over the past six years, with close scorelines playing against a variety of other footballing nations.

At first glance, you might have expected Italy to hammer Macedonia by a wider scoreline than 3-2, as iwas the case in England's 2-0 victory over Malta.
