Wembley looks like shit.

One thing England did good, since they don't play the game very well, is provide great pitches.

Looks like the NFL had a game on it a few days ago.

Three apparently in previous weeks, during an English autumn.

15 minutes left...Malta 1-1Bulgaria in Sofia.

Can we pull it off?

[Jacob]

So did Serbia and Albania lose out on that game altogether, or will they play it at some point later?

[Josephus]

no it was declared a walk over. Forget which team was awarded 3 points

[Josephus]

Yes! Malta pull off a 1-1 draw in Sofia. this is like winning the World Cup

no it was declared a walk over. Forget which team was awarded 3 points

None actually, Serbia was declared the winner, but they were also docked 3 points because of the pitch invasion and fights.

Bayern is so dominant that the German league might as well just have 17 teams.

It is bizzare that the loss of one man has turned Liverpool from a team that narrowly missed out on the title into （early days yet) relegation candidates

[Josquius]

Manchester City with a twist.

A key man though. And they're also missing his partner Sturridge.
