Whore Jackie Would like to see Moyes and Frank given more airtime. When does Ange start his stint with ITV?

Sutekh Finally worked out why I'm not whelmed by this tournament in the slightest. As others have said it's the lack of any jeopardy for anyone half decent i.e. finish 3rd and you're more than likely to progress, it just kills a lot of the interest in games. Really should go to 32 teams and 8 groups of 4 with 2 progressing rather than this whole load of

The flip of that is it means there are close to zero dead rubbers in the final round of games. If it was just top 2 going through, then Scotland v Hungary would just be a glorified friendly baring a 6 goal swing. Still not a massive fan esp as we end up with 2 Round of 16 games involving sides that finished 2nd.
Biggest flaw of the 3rd qualifers was shown when Portugal won it in 2016 - they didn't win a game in normal time until they beat Wales in the semi - qualified after 3 draws, ET win in 2nd, Pens in QF. No team should stand a chance to win the tournament if they fail to win a game in the groups and finish outside the top 2.
In good news for Scotland - getting to 4 points should be enough to get through as in both 24 team tournaments at least 1 team has made it through with 3 points.

You'll have until Tuesday to start being arsed, though I'm sure England's probable draw with Slovenia will finally put an end to everybody's whelm - and any last remaining goodwill to Southgate.
But, on the bright side, at least we're not Belgians.

Green Lost pretty much all my enthusiasm for it somehow.
Maybe I just need a few pints, a controversial refereeing decision and a narrow victory against a side we're expected to be comfortably to put me back on track.
