So in other words they will have to make up those two qualifying games another time during the regular season then. Great.

I don't think we're going to agree. Some people like it, good for them. Personally I think International footbal is shit, has always been shit and always will be shit. In fact I'd have killed the England National Team years ago. I support Spurs and Spurs only. I'd actually prefer it if Poch refused to release any of our players for International duty ever. Spurs pay their wages, not Gareth Southgate.

England pay the clubs to use their players. They also pay the players but since the 70's the england players have given that money to charity.

England couldn't have got a more boring group. No minnows for the lols, no rivalry with anyone (though Montenegro v Kosovo is tasty), and no big boy to test themselves against. Yawn.

As an honorary Norwegian a group with Spain, Sweden and Romania makes me glad they won the Nations League group and get a second chance because there's no way in hell they're making top two in that.

I think/hope that in future the Nations League will be expanded in terms of the number of games, with fewer qualifiers. They really are quite pointless for the top teams now it's expanded up to 24 qualifying - even the likes of England who aren't regular champions and did previously fail to make a 16-team Euros are near-guarenteed to stroll through that kind of group.

A huge let off for Switzerland there. Awful pass by the Swiss defender.

Can't see past Portugal at the moment. Also don't you mean Sterling lift the cup.....?!

I think if Kane starts he captains England, i just seen on google Sterling is captain for tomorrow which must mean Kane is on the bench, if he starts tho then maybe its long term ?

Portugal one up at half time, but Switzerland are causing them a few problems.
