The Road to World Cup 2026 and UEFA Nations League

[Jinky]

Sweden, with Elanga & Gyokeres up top, have lost 2-0 to Kosovo (who also had a player sent off right at the end).

Grim result for ROI in Armenia

England deservedly ahead, someone might want to tell Serbia that a draw suits us better not them

 

[Templeton Peck]

That goal was beautiful

 

[White Wolf]

Actually pretty good, the long balls strategy has worked. I don't think it would against a better side as Serbia look pretty bad when dealing with it but the tactics in this match are good for once. If the set piece delivery improves we could hurt them a lot. Madueke isn't the best player but does have a habit now of playing better for England than his club.

Grim result for ROI in Armenia

Genuinely shocking. I know we are bad at the moment but I thought we could beat 105th placed Armenia, given how well we played in the 2nd half on Sat.
The performance was worse than the result - we should have lost by 4 or 5.
Kelleher the only one to come out with any credit. Just when I thought Irish football couldn't sink lower.

 

[jd1981]

England doing what they often do well and disposing of mid tier European sides to qualify comfortably

 

[Stan Hullis]

Pretty harsh assessment of what has been a good performance tonight in what is our toughest group game.

Extremely disappointing considering they had a really positive comeback v Hungary on Saturday

It’s a compliment we make very light work of these games in qualifying bar the very rare aberration.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Fair enough, maybe I read it the wrong way.

 

[jd1981]

That’s as well as England have played in a while, Morgan Rogers was extremely impressive and I thought Rice dictated the pace of the game.

I thought Rice dictated the pace of the game.

…..but missed several chances.
They all played well to be honest.
