Greece are presently loosing 1-0 to the Faroe Islands.

Just when one thought Greece's campaign could not get any worse....

Unbelievably selfish play from Ozil. Through on the goal, had 2 teammates free who could have scored tap ins and instead he shoots and it's saved.

Gibraltar keeper is having a great game.

Finishing the season unbeaten would be a "great achievement" for England after last year's disappointing World Cup exit


It would indeed Rooney, but see who you have played against this season.
Have the expectations fallen so low now with the Eng team?
I was also wondering, after reading about 3 hat tricks on Sat, who in the Eng team can achieve that?

If I still cared strongly about England, I'd be livid at Jones and Gibbs at FB over Clyne and Bertrand. As it is, I don't, so I'm not.

Thanks for everything Pothas. You'll be missed. My nickname for you was apt and I will never forget it. For the last time, arise Sir Nic.

our best defender isn't playing. Cahill looks much better with Terry beside him. That said Terry is a t.at , so I'm not too worried.

Great finish from Wilshere, then woeful from Rooney.
