It's interesting to note that Malta haven't been beaten by more than 2 goals in their last 10 internationals. Obviously know how to defend.

You'd think going one nil up, with the extra space created by Malta pushing more men forward, England would create more.............nope.

Walker has got this annoying habit of flicking the ball inside with his right foot every time he's in space going forward, achieves bugger all, except making him look a complete berk.

Scotland winning 3-0.

Took N Irelanda while to break the met againstSan Marino but they've got three now.

Slovakia score late on against Slovenia to go 1-0 up, England could have done with that one finishing 0-0.

It means that a home defeat in the next game will leave England second.

Keeper should have got to that.

[Aidan11]

4-0.

I switched over to Super League after 80 minutes!

well.... apart from the last 5 mins, that was terrible game of football.

every moment of quality came from the same 2 players.... Kane and Rashford

harsh on Malta who defended manfully for 85 mins.

4-0 was a very flattering scoreline for England

All the pundits talking about a long process to build this England team, and we will have to wait for the current crop of youngsters to break through into the senior team in coming years before we see success.

Same old same old, it won't happen, the majority of the Under 20 world cup winning squad will never play regularly in the Premier League let alone any future England team.

been saying that since 1970

Until Premier League teams invest in English talent and not spend tens of millions on a generic foreigner that no supporter has heard of, England won't be making an impact in major tournaments.

France did their best to make England's 4-0 effort look extra palatable.

I turned on to see Luxembourg hit the post. Should have won it!

Well, if you ignore it was the only time Luxembourg were within sight of France's final third. And France had 3445 shots

Cracking result for Sweden, and an incredible result for Luxemberg
