Just been informed Nicklas Bendtner missed a sitter. Waiting for conformation as I find this highly unlikely
Particularly as he is meant to be injured till October
The attendance at Hampden Park is 37,050 - which is bigger than the entire population of Liechtenstein, and one of the Leichtestein players couldn't play tonight because he couldn't get time off work.....
Scotland, you are a fucking joke of a team.... where did it go so wrong for them?
Given Russia and Finland only just beat them last time, Finland also drew with them, it isn't that much of a disaster. These things happen in football sometimes
Congrats to Norway for beating Portugal, Lithuania for beating Czech Republic away from home, Slovakia for doing the same to Russia.
Any news on Defoe or Walcott?
Fantastic goal by Xherdan Shaqiri. and pleased that Bent got his first goal As an England fan, the only disappointment, outside of the injuries, was Joe Hart's nervy performance as I thought everyone else performed well. I had been dismayed at seeing Lescott start but he defended very well from first minute to the last, he and Glen Johnson were defensive rocks, When under pressure, we didn't seem to panic, Barry and Gerrard kept their discipline, the wingers (once Walcott was replaced)
helped their fullbacks. Hopefully we can do that against teams with more creativity as our defence has been a weak point. Going forward, with passing from Gerrard and Barry, the wingplay of all three wingers plus Glen Johnson, the movement if not the final quality from Defoe, we looked a real threat in first half and we always had the ability to hit Switzerland on the break. Probably the happiest I have been with an England performance against a good team for some time
