March 24, 20214 yr I had high hopes for that game and it certainly didn’t disappoint. That was a cracker of a match. I can’t believe that the Netherlands actually appointed De Boer as manager. :lol:
March 24, 20214 yr That Wales goal was beautiful. Living on the border, I really dislike Wales and even I was celebrating when that went in. :lol: @1374814178305789955
March 25, 20214 yr I can’t believe that the Netherlands actually appointed Do Boer as manager. :lol: Right? If that's not a recipe for disaster I don't know what is. Mind you Belgium have the bang average Martinez at the helm and are doing rather OK (though have never been in with a serious chance of winning anything as of yet).
March 25, 20214 yr Yeh Martinez will get results for the Red Devils but dont see him providing that extra thats needed to finally break their duct and win a major trophy. De Boer is a strange one indeed - hes never really cut it at any club as a manager. Seems to have got the job because of his status in Dutch football. Turkey are a very good young side though and will challenge to qualify from that group.
March 25, 20214 yr Author It took 14 minutes for England to break the deadlock with Ward-Prowse scoring.
March 25, 20214 yr Author Could be 8-0 already - missed some easy chances. But San Marino had a corner!

March 25, 20214 yr Author Definitely need some extra shooting practice tomorrow. They've had the opportunities to have scored double figures already.

March 26, 20214 yr Matchday 1 I know it’s meaningless after 1 game where 5 times haven’t even played yet but here is how qualification looks at this stage. It would be interesting if it ends this way :lol: The 10 group winners will qualify automatically and the 10 runners up will join the 2 best Nations League group winners that haven’t already qualified to make the 12 teams in the play-offs. An extra 3 will qualify through the play-offs. Qualified: Bosnia & Herzegovina Czech Republic Denmark England Germany Norway Russia* Serbia Sweden Switzerland Play-Offs: Albania Austria Belgium Greece Finland France Italy Portugal Romania Slovenia Spain Turkey *Russia are actually banned from the 2022 World Cup but can apparently play as a team of independents.
March 26, 20214 yr England looked ok tonight, despite what the media tell us I still feel our squad lacks a little. I think lack of experience on the big stage will catch us out eventually, But deary me the quality of international football is lacking right now. Struggle to see how we're favourites for the Euros for example. Anyway on a different note, very hard to read in tonights game. I can see why Southgate was so keen to bring Bellingham in - that lad has talent. He is going to be some player.
