    Ireland have always been in group B mate. I'll give it a go but not sure how much affect it will have and with some teams already qualifying through the more established routes I think the integrity of it all could be called into doubt in some games. Ie in theory some teams could adopt a more long term approach. If they know they aren't going to qualify from group C they could make sure they are relegated and then know in the next comp they will be in group D with Andorra and Gibraltar.

    Earlier in this thread a few people said Ireland was in D, not sure if that was true back then.

    So Poland are the first team to be relegated. As I said as soon as it was announced,this is so open to corruption. You are far better coming third in your group than second.

    Just felt the same as friendlies, didn’t have any sort of competitive feel to it.

    I hate internationals.

    If England could find a couple of decent midfielders they'd be some team.

    They need a holding midfielder more than anything else I feel. Both Dier and Henderson are average I feel. Need some with a much better range of passing and the ability to break the lines, it's what they lack in the world cup, Henderson just couldn't find the passes to get Lingard, Alli or Sterling in dangerous positions despite their movements being pretty good.

    Spain should have won that, really. All over England in the second half, hit the bar and had a stonewall penalty not given.

    England playing with 5 at the back and 4 in front of that defended well Spain too busy trying to walk the ball through them. If the ref gives the penalty and sends the keeper off then it's a different game.
