An easy win in the end, 4-0 and least what should have been 3 x 1 on 1 sitters fluffed. Mind you, until the opening goal, I just couldn't see where a breakthrough would come from. Horrible Hungarian parking of the bus, yet when they moved forward for the last 30 minutes, they played some decent football.

Didn't Maguire get hit by a missile as well?
Championship Stoke City 3 - 0 Plymouth Argyle :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Yup, Harry definitely didn't have his shooting boots on last night. Pathetic finishing. Very unlike him. Folk always say 'I could have done a better job' but in this instance... I actually could have! I would have buried at least one of them 1 on 1's. :D

Really a must win game for Wales against Belarus just starting. Tricky group with Belgium and Czech Republic currently first and second (both played 2 games more). Good luck Pharvey!

:cheers:

Crikey, 2 goals in about a minute for Belarus. :(

Ridiculous penalty to give away then just switched off straight from the restart. Wales need to get control back of this game!

Yeesss! Gareth Bale with a hat-trick goal at the death. That should do it. Wales doing it the hard way again. :D

Not the greatest of games but England managed a 4-0 win against Andorra. No real standout performances although Linguard played quite well and ended up with two goals.

^^Oh, I don't know, I thought it was fairly predictable. In the first hour the England B team knocked it around prettily and sauntered to a 1-0 lead, then on 60 minutes Southgate brought on Mount, Kane and Grealish, they upped the pace to a canter and 4-0 was a decent result against a team that was only interested in keeping the score respectable. I think the days of 8 or 9 nil scores against teams like this are largely over.
This is the way

Brazil vs Argentina suspended after just minutes into the game. Health officials and police have walked onto the pitch to detain the players that travelled from England due to not quarantining after coming from a red zone. Couple of Spurs lads in there. They'll now be deported apparently.

What a shit show. Surely they knew the squad lineup beforehand. Why wait to make a scene minutes into the game?

The moment health officials, after their 5 minutes of fame, stormed the pitch wanting to deport players. I get it. There's a virus. But why wait for the match to start first? Idiots.

Maybe the Brazilian health officials are agents of Arsenal. They targeted Villa because of Martinez`s constant whinging about Arsenal and Spurs for historical reasons.

I wouldn’t say England played well in the first half, but they at least kept it at 0-0. They can (hopefully) only do better in the second half!!

Well England did play better in the second half and Captain Reliable got a pretty good goal, but unfortunately Poland spoilt the party and got their (deserved) equaliser in injury time. As much as I was hoping England would win, a draw was probably the fair result.
