He's captain of the most exciting team in the Premier League, he's a good leader. It's not like England are on the level of Spain or Brazil, Hendo is a solid player for the team and there's really not that many other options anyway really.. Only Cahill and Kane, Cahill's likely heading into his final year as a regular and Kane isn't even captain of his club team.

Might as well say Germany too since they're not losing a 19 goal difference to Northern Ireland in 2 games

[ChristmasNeeve]

Come on Ireland, ! playing well so far

[Shaun]

Ireland and Wales both clinging on for survival thanks to your rubbish nation's antics tonight

[Shaun]

We were robbed
Definitely the better team overall, such a huge improvement over the Georgia game too

I don't think we were robbed we were pretty useless

[Brother Leon]

Rashford is pretty much the only thing that excites me about England if I'm keeping it 100.

[Shaun]

Yeah that's fair tbh.

since we no longer have anyone in the squad to pretend to support

[Nicky91]

Iceland please qualify for the world cup

I think we played really well and also should have gotten a penalty.

[BBfanUSA]

Anyone watching USA vs Panama? Yanks are currently up 1-0 thanks to a goal by 19 year old Christian Pulisic. Being hyped as the next big thing for US right now

[Nicky91]

Iceland one step closer to world cup qualification

[Shaun]

to Nigeria, and Egypt are pretty much confirmed too

[James]

I've been working out all the possibilities with the second-place table in the European qualifiers.

[James]

10 straight failed World cup and Euro qualifications now for Scotland.

[Shaun]

to Ireland

Wales a one-tournament wonder confirmed.

[James]

Iceland have qualified for Russia.

[Shaun]

Congrats to Serbia too.

Haven't looked at the top runners-up table yet.

[James]

I think Slovakia are out of the runners-up.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I'm not well after that, longest 5 minutes ever

[James]

Actually, I looked at it again, an Bosnia could, in theory, overtake Greece for second place in their group, in the unlikely event that Greece don't beat Gibraltar. Then Slovakia would still be in the play-offs.

[BBfanUSA]

Sucks to be Wales.

It's insane that Argentina and Messi could miss out all together. A lot of regular countries that you'd expect to be in already haven't clinched yet like the US (They're still highly likely to gain CONCACAF's 3rd auto bid but it's still within the realm of possibility for them to end up in the playoff with the Syria/Australia winner or miss out all together) as well.

I don't think we'd should expand to 48 teams after this qualifying chaos
