I swear Portugal play someone like Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Iceland or someone like that almost every time there's a qualifier and they never seem to win.....

Aaaaaaand a few minutes later they're suddenly 3-2 up!

It probably helps Portugal that NI have had two players sent off.

Switzerland have turned it around. 2-1 now.

Not quite sure where 4-4 came from.

This feels fucking awesome. Hopefully the Austrians and the Irish draw on Monday.

Oh, and great job by Iceland keeping their WC hopes alive.

We'll probably go there and win convincingly now that we've no realistic hope of getting out of the group. Worked it out how best it could work out for us and it would end up with Sweden, Austria and Ireland on 17 points, so unless we hammer Austria and hammer Kazakhstan about 10-0 you've no need to worry about us.

So, yeah, Lafferty is a fucking Muppet! Stupid challenge!

Portugal deserved to win though, clearly the better side. We now head to win-less Luxembourg on Tuesday, they'll probably win.

Was thinking of going to the Norway - Switzerland game on Tuesday until I looked at the ticket prices... £40 for the cheapest. And then then Norwegian FA complain about the lack of support when we play at home. And it's not like they are an attractive side either... I mean, we only score on set pieces, lol.

Blatter has come out and said they made a mistake choosing Qatar for 2022 World Cup. Bit late for that

I'm hoping Kazakhstan snatch some dodgy equaliser obviously.

... but Mr Blatter, your ExCo knew full well, already on December 10, 2010, that a summer World Cup would be impossible to be hosted in Qatar's scorching summer...

JSB:... that may well be so, and it may well be that we made a mistake at the time.

He didn't say that it was a mistake to give it to Qatar, he said that it may have been a mistake not to consider the heat

Beat Austria tonight, get a point in Germany and beat Kazakhstan and we'll be grand.

Granted you lose both your remaining games against Austria and Germany.

I really wish Townsend would crawl down out of Gerrard's arsehole one of these days.

'He meant to dummy it' as justification for him completely misjudging his defensive header is one of the most bizzare defences I've ever heard.

It's not been great, but his game has never been about expansive passing play. He's at his best when he's on the move and running through defenses before he lays a pass off. He's never been one to thread beautiful weighted passes through to a teammate like Gerrard can, but that said it's not been great.

Give him time though - he's been injured for such a large part of his career yet is suddenly expected to be England's most influential and exciting player. I'm sure he'll get better as the season goes on.

All of this talk about us trying to win tonight is bullshit. We're playing for a draw and if we're not careful Ukraine will score a late winner and suddenly we're in the play-offs. So negative.
