Harry Maguire puts England one up
He went Cucu there.
Number 6 for the Swiss looks a really good player.
An absorbing World Cup qualification tie. Very finely poised. Even if Italy draw this they are by no means assured of winning the group.
Any state of play update across the groups ? As in who’s heading for playoffs/automatically qualified or big names missing out altogether
1-1. Jurgen Sommer was poor there.
It can’t always be Sommer.
I was having a look there and feel slightly cheated because I found Wales, Austria and the Czech Republic are all assured of a place in the play-offs.
Northern Ireland well on top against Lithuania. 1 -0 up at HT but have had 2 goals disallowed.
These sons of ulster will be hoping that it can’t always be the Somme
You cunt. I was going to use that if he made another howler.
Italy would want to be winning this. Tricky trip to Belfast to finish the group with and Northern Ireland have rich historical pedigree of tripping up Italy in key World Cup qualifiers. With a draw here, even if Italy win in Belfast it’s conceivable the Swiss could overhaul them by going nap on the Bulgars.
great game
penalty
Some shake in the stadium when that was awarded.
Soft as marshmallow.
Harsh alright. I thought all the decisions always went against Italy?
Stupid from the defender. Had to give it after seeing the replay
Lolz
This Jorginho fella is some cod on the penalties.
Sommer psyched him out rightly.
