    The whole game thus far has been Albanians getting injured, Albanians getting booked, Albanians missing sitters, or Albanians conceding a goal. 17 straight minutes of it.

    There's a real stench of heads have gone about them, this could end up quite a few.

    For me, the biggest question on his game was his ability to score against teams in world cup qualifiers. This is pretty much him back to his best and arguably better than Jaap Stam.

    Back to his best and answering his critics.

    Best bit of that goal was Dixon going "great from James, then he lost it . . .". Aye, fantastic.

    Albania is one giant case of heads having gone. Retards to a man. The referee probably counts their players in and out.

    Albanian number 18 might be the worst player ever to play at Wembley, and I include the FA Vase in that.

    Why is Sam Matterface worried about the goal difference gap to Poland?

    Does he think we're going to lose to San Marino?

    I must admit, my first reaction was he was shushing at the Albanian fans who had been whistling heavily in the opening minutes. Does this make me naive, or have I just been vaccinated against Manchester United Narrative?

    I thought the same. So yes, probably.

    Quality scenes in Italy v Switzerland. 1-1 89th minute, Anthony Taylor waves away a very soft penalty shout from the pasta people. VAR intervenes and he ends up giving it. Up steps Jorginho and absolutely hoys it into the stands.

    If this is a draw the Swiss still have hope, if Italy don't win in Belfast.

    Sam Matterface is fine. I don't get all the angst about him.

    He tells the game, his voice isn't annoying. That'll do, no need to expect too much from a commentator.

    He's full of shit and tries to generate Moments rather than just doing his job to the best of his ability and trusting that they'll happen.

    He's not wrong if that's what he was doing, but I doubt it was. He was almost certainly doing it to the Albania fans who we have quite a long history of racist abuse from. Their team refused to "take the knee" and the fans booed it, then whistled at our players.

    It's a big stretch to assume he was aiming that at Man Utd fans.

    Let's not forget their match with Poland was halted when they hurled bottles from the stands.

    250 injured in Iran stadium collapse. Although that's a 2001 news piece inexplicably tagged as happening 4 days ago.

    Very enjoyable Bosnia 0-2 Finland ongoing, a game which either must win, and in which Finland are down to ten men. A classic example of the 'home crowd adding pressure' genre.

    Oh and the coach has just taken Pjanic off, which has to go down as some form of seppuku.

    EDIT: 1-2, maybe it's a masterstroke.

    It’s very tight. 1-1 could do it, but we’ll see. Ukraine have only beaten us during the whole campaign, so it’s not like I expect them to spank Bosnia away.

    I saw Ukraine have managed five 1-1 draws from seven games, which is a great effort. I hope you do it.

    I know much is made of "THE ENGLAND BAND" but what's the deal with this Wales effort? They seem to have a full big band on the PA system for their [dreadful] chants.

    Maguire being a bomb scare for man utd for months then doing the hands to the ears celebration to suggest he's silenced the critics cus he's scored against Albania is like if when I worked at the bank I'd spent months having till differences, breaking expensive equipment and accidentally putting the wrong reference numbers when transferring money for customers (may or may not have happened) then ran around the shopping centre doing the FIFA SHHH celebration after I successfully showed an old person how to withdraw a tenner from an ATM

    Macedonia five minutes from making the playoffs. 2-1 up vs Iceland. The picture is grainier than the contents of Jeremy Corbyn's kitchen cupboard, but I'm here for it.

    I think Scotland pretty much secure a seeded spot with a draw tomorrow assuming Wales don’t beat Belgium. Hopefully not arsed now since they conceded against Faroes

    Hector Cuper's DR Congo are into the final playoffs.

    If there's any way of getting it somewhere I recommend Ghana v South Africa kicking off now - the latter need a point to knock out the former and progress.

    Are there many other sets of brothers playing for different countries? I’ve a vague notion of maybe Switzerland and Turkey have a set, or maybe it’s Switzerland and Italy?

    The Boatengs come to mind (not anymore, but in terms of recent occasions). The one you are thinking are Xhaka and his brother who play for Switzerland and Albania.
