While i'm not the biggest fan of the extension, or rather how the new berths were distributed - i would like to nitpick a little: half of the countries you listed would have qualified regardless of it. Scotland have won their group in UEFA...

I quite fancy staying up all night watching football, few glasses of wine, Pringles etc.

Shouldn’t even be a story if he doesn’t make it. He’s not playing for City and had a poor camp. He has loads to do if he’s to make the plane

Yeah defence is the biggest concern. Stones and James need to be fit otherwise it’s a huge drop off. Livramento, Hall and O’Reilly are promising but not fully developed yet. There are no top level CBs after Guehi and Stones. Shame Branthwaite has...

Amazed to see us second favourites in a lot of bookies. I think our squad looks very average, especially as a lot of our best players like palmer, foden, rogers, even Bellingham aren’t in any sort of form. The defence looks really poor for an...

Nah I'm more than happy about it myself. He doesn't pamper these clowns and Foden needs a kick up the arse - stank the gaff out the whole Euros. Play good or you're not coming. Some English lads think they're just a given in this squad.

Yeah it’s hard to say who will come through. Delap might turn out to be good. There’s Mheuka who is quite highly rated. The kid at Lyon too

The squad depth that England has had over the last few years has dropped off a cliff since the euros for various reasons. Retirements, injuries, loss of form etc. Transitional period for the team currently. Weaknesses all over the pitch

Typical England. ‘Oh look, we don’t like this guy as his name is Gareth and he looks like a lost goblin. We’re clearly the best team in the world. Let’s get a fancy pants manager with a better name who wears a tracksuit.’

I think for Sweden particularly they have a decent squad but their previous manager wasn’t getting the best out of it. But yeah I take your point generally

Good to see Graham Potter got Sweden to the tournament. Hope he does well with them

They've been building for years - were two up on Belgium in the last 16 in 2018 and beat Germany and Spain last time round. They are more than a sneaky fancy as far as I am concerned.

Glad Graham Potter made it

Canada, Bosnia, Qatar, and Switzerland... If ever a group told you all you needed to know about the bloated mess that is the next World Cup finals, this is it... I don't think I'll be staying up late for those ones.

Look at that Italian line-up tonight. Only the goalkeeper would be considered a top rank player in his position. Italy simply does not produce the players anymore. There's no Riva, Rivera, Mazzola, and Fachetti; no Bettega, Zoff, Scirea, and...
