    May have been a closer game had Scott Wiseman still been playing for them - shame he didn't get the job full time either when he was managing them!:D

    I beg to differ that would be 0-0!
    At least France performed as you'd expect them to.

    The minnows should all play off before going into the qualifiers

    Too many pointless games in international Football. Should be leagues based on ability like with club Football.

    With that score I would have thought Scott Wiseman was player manager.

    The small terrible footballing countries are the reason why Giroud’s France’s top scorer & why our goal scoring record has been taken by both Rooney & Kane in recent years.

    It can be frustrating because the games are a waste of time 99% of the time but I think every team should get a fair crack at it. Countries like us France, Spain, Germany etc are already at a huge advantage with the seeding system.

    There’s also the argument that they only get better playing better sides. Money they get from the games & TV allow them to invest more in facilities & coaching. Look how much countries like Albania & Luxembourg have improved for example. Although I know it’s virtually impossible for Gibraltar, San Marino & Liechtenstein to ever really improve when they’re that small.

    UEFA Rankings....

    45.Malta
    51. Gibraltar
    52. North Macedonia

    So it should be an absolute goalfest on Monday, considering England are No.1 in those rankings.

    That’s clearly nonsense though. Macedonia are far better than either of them sides.

    Ask an Italian!

    I think all the top nations should qualify automatically. It's a crap competition without Italy or Holland.

    Put the minnows in a cannon fodder pot with Scotland and Wales.

    That's like saying put Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal & Chelsea straight through to the QF of the FA Cup.

    Let Spurs & Man U fight it out with the cannon fodder for the other spots....:)
