Well said.
Any jammy win against the Welsh and weâre most of the way there, but as you said, even a draw stops them gaining ground. Having them away as our last game should be a big plus too, thereâs a chance the game could be meaningless to us.
All going well. We are in a great position.
Game against Wales is a Friday evening KO. Should be a cracker, Iâll have to try and get up to it.
Youâd want your head examined going to Russia for the 2018 World Cup.
I know a few fellas keen on going based on it being better the World Cup after.
Anyway - whereâs Steve Staunton these days?
Brazil thrashed Uruguay 4-1 away from home last night with Paulinho, yes, the same Paulinho who looked like Jimmy Savile fixed it for him to play for Tottenham Hotspur, scoring a hat-trick.
Argentina stumbled to a 1-0 win over Chile with an early penalty from Messi.
Tite has completely revitalised Brazil since taking over from Dunga last summer. Iâd be ploughing into them to win the World Cup next year if I was a betting man.

Argentina need to stop playing Higuain and Aguero. The two of them have held them back loads in recent years. Dybala and Icardi would be improvements
Dybala is the future.
Holland 2-0 down in Bulgaria.
Whatever happened to Dutch football.
They have Bruno Martins Indi and a 17 year old as their centre backs. Big reason right there
Greeks beating Belgium, that would put them top.
The most up and down nation in international football,they were getting beat home and away by the Faroes and the North last campaign!
The Greeks are one of my favourite national sides.

Ranieri was a complete disaster as manager- their campaign was pretty much over before it began and his replacement couldnât do anything to turn their fortunes around either.
Dogged fuckers.
The Belgians are of dubious character. The Greeks have character in abundance.
I love a team who can grind it out.
National sides with multi-ethnic backgrounds seem to be of dubious character.

Greece are the Cliff Thorburn of international football.
Red card for the Greeks.
Brilliant goal by Lukaku to equalise after 88 minutes.
Greece finished with nine men, but got a point away to Belgium.
