3-0. Very strange atmosphere at OT. Sounds like a Soccer Aid crowd.

True enough but they did beat Italy in Palermo in a WC qualifier last year tbf, so they are not cannon fodder as such.

They're better than Malta but our forward play has been really good this first half.

I've just sid on the other thread, playing these games at Wembley gives the so called 'lesser teams' something more to play for and playing them around the country takes that away from them.

I tend to find that these qualifying rounds are as boring as Champions league groups stages!

I rarely watch international football apart from the tournaments. Totally agree that it's boring. Gap too big between the nations and the way that international football tends to be played is just a snooze fest.
