1990 England
1994 Sweden
1998 Croatia and Holland
2002 Turkey
2014 Argentina? Holland?

Southgate needs to remove Dier Henderson Sterling and Oxlade completely from his thoughts for us to have any chance whatsover

Watched 30 minutes of the game the other night, barring Rashford it was like watching Argyle Oxford.

They qualified. A Messi hat trick did the job.

USA didn't though....they'll be sorely missed in Russia I'm shore.

Someone told me the other day that we were in the frame again to host 2022 after Azerbyjan weren't able to get their shit together. We might need a free pass to the finals.

Italy may miss out?

Definite possibility now because they lost their first play-off match in Sweden 1-0.

Definitely not insurmountable but definitely dodgy.

What about Holland, that is now two tournaments they have missed out on. I can remember when they were the bees knees and the world was totally orange.

Fresh embarrassment for Holland

Robben netted twice for Holland although it was in vain

The world is no longer orange

I bet the Dutch press have had a field day in putting the boot in !!.

Italy face a task and a half to make it. Switzerland should get there now, Denmark also. Croatia will be attending after thrashing a poor Greek side in that first leg, second leg should be a cakewalk.

I read online that the ''top boy'' of the Russian hooligan firm that kicked-off in France in 2016 has now retired. He said England fans should not be scared of him anymore and to go over and have a beer, chat and a selfie with him. He went on to say that each and every Grandmother of those in his firm, and also that of other Russian hooligans, will be visited by each and every one of those thugs during the World Cup. It is said that Putin sent his henchmen around to have words with them and to tell them in no uncertain terms that should they kick-off during the tournament, they will face the wrath of the Russian legal system.

As the hooligan firm are all Putin diehards, they have all agreed to the demands.

It will all go quiet until Trump calls Putin out via twitter.

Did I hear that Trump called Kimg Jong Un ''short and fat''

Italy 0 Sweden 0.

Italy are out, Sweden go through.

well done Sweden. Fantastic stuff. I would imagine there's going to be some big trouble in the Italian game because of this. Maybe a shake up of their domestic rules

They both lost their talismen a couple years ago but Sweden have coped way better without Zlatan than Italy have without Pirlo.

Tragic

mamma mia

Italians are not going to be happy for along time now and they are a passionate lot.

Tyhee will be rolling...

All those poor people who wasted money on Italian shirts must be spitting feathers, oh well there's always Brazil.
