Just the small matter of the play off final.

The group of war.
Well according to talk sport England have won it already so may as well not bother going to all the trouble of going there??Quote:

Ridiculous drawing it before the final qualifications have taken place.
Had to make sure all the hangers on got their freebie trips I suppose :frown:
Dare I mention that the Welsh participated with the English most of the time?Quote:

To be fair, as WC semi finalists and Euro finalists, for once you can kinda see why they're feeling good about their chancesQuote:

'Tis a crying shame you lot are so inward-looking and unaware of World Cup history.
I need to remind youse that the United States defeated England 1–0 on 29 June 1950, in a group match of the 1950 FIFA World Cup at Brazil. The result is notable as one of the biggest upsets in the competition's history.
There is a school of academic thought that history tends to repeat itself.

And dont forget this bit of England USA World Cup historyQuote:

They need to scrap the 3rd place game and replace with a select XI vs select XI
Why is that better than 3v4?Quote:

If I was a player I don't think I could think of anything I'd rather do less than go and play a friendly game at the end of a tournament I didn't qualify forQuote:
