    I do the same with the huns, and also get worries on England, but things like Martin getting huns job and Engerlund doing that against the mighty Andorra settle my nerves a bit.

    Thankfully can tick off England winning it next year.

    Not sure we can rule it out. They have a good squad aside from their centre half options which might kill them. Tuchel has a year to get them firing.

    No doubt there is some amount of talent to work with though

    That Belgium team are the total pits.

    3 0 up against Wales and its now 3 3.

    They might still win it but theyre going to struggle to qualify the way its going.

    I think they get past Wales and Macedonia. Think they do * all when they get there though.

    It's a game at the end of the season where everyone was knackered. I think any teams results right now are not that important in the grand scheme of things.

    Cape Verde with a population of 525,000 qualified for next year’s World Cup.

    A bit mental but I think there is going to be some proper dross at the next world cup with 48 teams.

    North American given three additional places on top of Mexico, Canada and Trumpville. New Zealand basically given automatic qualification. Minimum 8 teams from Asia and minimum 9 from Africa.
