This is Germany qualifying for 2002 world cup where they finished 2nd.

They only beat Albania 2-1, drew with Finland got battered by us and had to go through the playoffs

Looks like a relatively sizeable difference to me.

I agree with him, England always make painfully boring work of the utter shite.

Southgate has the highest win rate of any England manager in history who has managed over 10 games apparently now .

France drew with Bosnia, Italy drew with Bulgaria, Germany only beat Liechtenstein 2-0, Denmark beat Faroe Islands 1-0.

Portugal put 7 past Andorra last year, but other than that they don't regularly get thrashed.

Poland won 3-0 (H)
France won 3-0 (H), 4-0 (A)
Turkey won 1-0 (H), 3-0 (A)
Portugal won 6-0 (H), 2-0 (A)
Switzerland won 3-0 (H), 2-1 (A)
Hungary lost 1-0 a couple of years back

It's not like a few years back when these teams used to make an effort to get forward so you could stick 9 or 10 past them. They sit & defend.

So on the one hand you want these teams to go through pre-qualifying because they just sit and defend, when if they went out and got beat by double figures more would be saying the same thing. Perhaps the minnow nations have as much right to play these games as anyone else

Avg GD per game:

Eng-San: 5.85
Ger- San 8.5

Diff: 2.65

Eng-Lie: 2
Ger-Lie: 5.2

Diff: 3.2

So on average win each game by about 3 goals more than we do.

Mears playing for Jamaica after getting his dad's nationality wrong is still funny.

I sure do itsaroll87, tbf I think he proved his worth in those early games in the Euros. He did well. We don't have great depth at CB as a national side at the minute. Who would you say should be ahead of Mings?

I will say that after chatting with a Brighton fan in the summer he reckoned that most BHA fans rated Webster and Dunk ahead of White. Maybe those 2 should be more involved? Can't say I watch a lot of Brighton though so wouldn't say for sure they are better than Mings.

Never heard that before, other than about 20 mins before you typed it, so assume you watched SAS on C4 too. Getting a bit predictable with shouty middleton and a celebrity emotional back story everytime, but still a gripping watch to see them put through it.

I don't mind playing them to be fair, just get sick of the likes of you whining because it's a boring game. Other federations do have multi-stage qualification so it's not that an extreme an option anyway. In fact, there's only UEFA & CONMEBOL (who only have 10 members) that don't have a pre-qualification stage.

James Tarkowski at Burnley was looked at before I quite like him tbh.
Gets a few goals can play a bit and good in both boxes.
