    Kosovo winning the key game against Azerbaijan - you wouldn't bet against them qualifying through the "proper" route, given their results to date.

      Bloody hell! Though, to be fair, there are towns in The Valleys where that look is still very on trend.

        Albania take the lead with a penalty, their first shot on target and second overall. Bale on as sub in response

          Wales denied a pretty clear penalty of their own, could be one of those nights.

            I am offering up our appalling mismatched kit as a preemptive excuse for this result :

              Finishes 1-0, a really sloppy performance from Wales. A pretty awful ref but that doesn’t excuse how poor we were in attack despite dominating the game. Uncomfortable for Giggs that we’ve lost three out of four recently.

                James Forrest has a hat-trick for Scotland after going 1 down to Israel.

                  Scotland’s success being a major highpoint of the night.

                    I’m embarrassed for my statelet by Paterson. He looks like a cop.

                      I’m assured that he hasn’t affected the muzzy for Movember and that it’s a permanent fixture.

                      Fuck’s sake Scotland, don’t blow this!

                        Why do Adidas keep letting us down like this?

                          It’s doubly strange given that change kit is being hugely discounted so presumably about to be replaced. The women’s side wore quite a fetching Bulgarianesque white/green/red combo against Portugal last week.

                            Poland currently drawing with Portugal, which I think will result in Germany falling to Pot Two for the Euro qualifying draw.

                            Not strictly Nations League, but Neymar and Mbappé have both left their prestige friendlies with injuries.

                              The Italian Number 9 has just been substituted. His name is Lasagne.

                                A name so stereotypically Italian, that his parents overcompensated by calling him Kevin.

                                Meanwhile, how the fuck did this Scotland game still become tense?

                                  Even more strangely, his first name is Kevin

                                    Hanging on at the end... 3-2 Scotland.

                                      Get in, Scotland! So what format is the play-off for Euro 2020 for them now?

                                        If Scotland don't qualify anyway through their own Euro 2020 qualifying group, then they get another chance in the Nations League Division C playoff, This playoff will contain three other Division C or D teams that haven't already qualified, and it will be a straight knockout.

                                          Ah, grand. Thanks.

                                            So if the Euro 2020 normal qualification groups go according to form, and the 20 regular qualification spots are taken up by teams from the 24 in Divisions A and B, it is a bit opaque exactly which teams will take place in the Division A and B playoffs. But the Division C and D playoffs are clear:

                                            Division C: Scotland, Finland, Serbia, and Norway will battle for a single Euro 2020 ticket. Based on performance, I think that the semis will be Scotland-Finland and Serbia-Norway (discarding results against fourth-ranked teams in the groups, Scotland are actually top-ranked among the four).

                                            Division D: Georgia, Belarus, Kosovo, and Macedonia will battle for a single Euro 2020 ticket. Semis: Georgia-Belarus, Kosovo-Macedonia.

                                              Germany falling to Pot Two for the Euro Qualifiers confirmed.

                                              The seeds are: Holland, England, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Croatia and Poland

                                                Ireland are in Pot Nil.

                                                  England in World Cup lose to Belgium and Croatia. OTF: See, they always lose to decent teams.
                                                  England beat Spain and Croatia in ENL. OTF: That was only because Spain and Croatia played badly.

                                                  OTF hasn't changed much in 20 years.

                                                    Well, there’s certainly as many straw men as there always have been on here.
