Actually didn't realise that Norn Iron are also in the play-offs by virtue of their Nations League performance. Be good if all British Isles teams make it, Scotland and England already qualified, then Wales, Norn Iron and West Britain in the play offs.
The Scots may have made it through, but they will most certainly stink the place out and limp home after finishing bottom of their group. Up the Curaçao!
Almost certainly true … but we don’t have delusions of grandeur . England will limp out , quarter finals and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Add in some xenophobic abuse at the over paid German . That’s the bit I’m looking forward to.
There will be the usual 'we aren't just going to make up the numbers' before a humbling at the hands of Cape Verde. And that's England.

“Shoot , shoot Oh he’s done him , he’s done him , he’s done him” More iconic than “Some supporters are on the pitch , they think the game has ended … It has now ! “
Incredible stuff. Genuinely can't think of a game that meant so much for the victors, to see the calibre of goals in one game is mental. The fact that Biscuit Hips's goal is pale in comparison to McFrappe's and McLeans is mental. Can't wait for the draw and see who is going to rape us in Mexico (I'm saying Mexico as it'll be hotter and the Jocks will fry)
Can’t wait for the CUM World Cup even at 3-2 , I was still expecting glorious failure until the Mayor of Norwich outclassed beckham with his halfway line effort . 3 worldies in one game ! The scotch will fry in majority of Yanksvile but defo full on heat stroke in Mexico
