Long March on Moscow - WC Qualifiers, Europe

[Ray de Galles]

Is there a thread already?

By the looks of Lithuania v Slovenia and Slovakia v England all the teams are having to wear a gaudy white badge on their sleeve that clashes with all but a white shirt.

Not a good sign.

I've surprised myself by watching a bit of the England game. It's... quiet so far.

kane missed an absolute sitter about 20 minutes in. By which I mean he missed the ball entirely.

Slovakia have just missed a sitter as well. That should have been 1-0.

Chris Martin, goalless in 14 games for his club starts up front for Scotland tonight. If Scotland qualify for the next World Cup I will present the BBC's coverage in my pants.

Meet the new dross, same as the old dross.

It's exactly how we played in the Euros. All possession, no penetration, it's shite.

Edit: Dunno why i'm expecting anything different, it's the same shower of shite who played two months ago.

Lithuania captain Cernych scored a cracker to put them one up and it's 2-0 at half time.

Skrtel off. That wasn't predictable.

He only made 4 yellow card worthy challenges. He was a bit unlucky to get the second yellow. It was the sort of deliberate stamp worthy of a straight red usually.

Spurs striker's run of biblically poor form continues. Kane unable.

There's a Leicester flag behind the Slovak goal. Why would anyone prioritise this over their team's first game in the Champions League (unless they're going to Bruges on the way back, I suppose)?

Hoddle is far worse than Andy Townsend ever was. If Hoddle ever crosses my path he's going to be in and around my fist.

How far offside was that? So what are the complaints?

Look at Kazahkstan's gorgeous kit!



They've just scored twice in seven minutes in it away to Poland to come back to 2-2 as well.

That the ball came from a Slovak, which it did but via an almost imperceptible nick off Sturridge.

Ha ha! Excellent!

Starting my boycott of Russia 2018 tonight. Pissing me off that there's a live game on RTL (Germany-Norway) and there's literally nothing else I would rather be doing on a Sunday evening than watching a live football game on TV as I drift into sleep. Thanks Putin, you corrupt, murdering, Stalinist cunt.

Ian Wright complaining that the linesman couldn't have seen the nick off Sturridge in real time. What, so he obviously thought it came off the defender last but thought you know what, I'm going to give one this the wrong way, why not. It's that kind of thing that sometimes makes joining the AEB appealing.

Thank God I didn't pay to go and watch that. England were dire, but won because Skrtel has shit for brains.

I'm assuming that was an England fan, but I've seen Slovak people in Leicester shirts since May. Going to Zilina v Chelsea in the Champions League and seeing half the home sections wearing blue remains one of my more depressing football experiences

"This should be relatively straightforward for Scotland."

Commentator with a severe lack of knowledge of both long term and short term football history.

Fuck. Scotland have scored.
