I'm firmly of the belief that International football is a dying form of the game, and very rarely manage to muster any excitement about the England team, but in the next four days England have two games which will decide whether they qualify for the World Cup or not.
So do we think they're going to do it? Two home games against Montenegro and Poland should, theoretically, be easy enough to navigate but considering just how turd England have been so far in qualifying (the only teams we've beaten are San Marino and Moldova!) would it be a great surprise if we didn't qualify?
Personally I think even though the current team is about as effective as a bag of spanners, they should have enough for Montenegro and Poland and England will sail effortlessly towards going out at the group stages next year.
Also what about elsewhere in Europe? Where are the close races? Are any of the big teams in danger?
Come on...this is about as exciting as World Cup qualifying ever gets!
