International Games | 12th - 19th November '25

Just out of interest, why is that? I thought there would be a draw and one each of Pots 1, 2, 3 and 4 in each group of semi-finals? Therefore if we drew the teams I mentioned, we would get Kosovo in the semi-final and then the winner of Northern Ireland or Ukraine in the final.

A team from pot 2 plays at home against a team from pot 3.
A team from pot 1 plays at home against a team from pot 4
All will be revealed tomorrow when the draw takes place

I see what you mean. That Shankland goal was a stunner!

Seen em missed!!

Just wanted to add how good I thought the Scotland match was last night too!!

I had a spell after Euro 96 where I was quite passionate about the England team - possibly because City never gave us much to cheer about!! - but over the last decade have become more and more bored watching England, to the point of I don't even know who or when we are playing until I hear it on the TV / Radio

Watching Scotland last night (and the second half of their match vs Greece on Saturday) and seeing how much it meant to the players, the fans and all involved - I really enjoyed the match and when the second, third and fourth goals went in, my natural reaction was to cheer too.

Good luck to them and I'd rather watch them than I would do this current England national team

Curacao has become the smallest country (population and land area) to ever qualify for the WC, after drawing 0-0 with Jamaica in Kingston prompting the resignation of Shteve McClaren as Jamaica coach.

An Island smaller than the Isle of Man, just off Venezuela.

Prynhawn Da, Benny...

The news just gets better.

Turns out we don't need to play against our Erling in the group stage. Grant Hanley and Scott McKenna can stop panicking for a bit.

Guarantee England will Face him.

Playoff draw on Thursday for the other European sides:

Pot 1: Italy, Denmark, Turkey, Ukraine
Pot 2: Poland, Wales, Czechia, Slovakia
Pot 3: Rep of Ireland, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo
Pot 4: Romania, Sweden, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland

1 legged semi, 1 legged final. Won't be easy for anyone.

How is that going to work? Pot 1 v Pot 3 & Pot 2 v Pot 4?

 

[levets]

USA / Canada / Mexico in pot one, what a piss take!

Highest either should be is pot 3

 

[Xhavenjoe]

How is that going to work? Pot 1 v Pot 3 & Pot 2 v Pot 4?

No
1 at home vs 4
2 at home vs 3.

 

[levets]

No
1 at home vs 4
2 at home vs 3.

Cheers. Bit tough on the pot 2 & pot 3 teams as just one leg.

Doubtful. England's recent draw history is very kind to say the least!

Those groups look unbalanced though, due to having 3 North American teams in pot 1.

Maybe we will meet him in the Semi's ;-)

 

[Saddleworth2]

We could draw Canada, Iran and Cuaracao in the group stages. Lol.

 

[Saddleworth2]

I thought Scotland were absolutely gash, for the majority of that game, as they were in Greece. That's never a second booking and a red card in a million years. Denmark were far the better team when it was 11vs11. They'll lose all 3 games at the WC.

All true. Still a brilliant result though :-)

Just caught up on last nights game. Some goal by he who saw the light and fucked off out of old Trafford.

And what a finish to the game!

They’ll take a right following over there. Loud. Good for them.
