Senegal became the latest nation to qualify for Russia 2018, with a 0-2 win in South Africa. That will be only their second WC tournament and their first since 2002.
Sweden vs Italy is underway from Stockholm.
Hi David
I am home
England on FS2 at the top of the hour
I have the Sweden Italy match on FS1 right now
Toivonen knocks down the hatchet man in a physical challenge, giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Italy's defender gets elbowed in the face inside 10 seconds
Welcome home, Dave. I'm doing the same.
A yellow card given to Berg
Marcus Berg with an early booking, to match the color of his jersey.
I think the wrong player was booked. I thought Toivonen made the challenge. It would have been legal in a Revie side of the 60s or 70s.
Sweden with a free kick chance
Berg wins a free kick in the Italy D. Looked like a rugby tackle from Bonnucci.
Useless effort
The free kick from Forsberg is poor. Far too high.
I thought Northern Ireland were hard done by yesterday. The penalty that wasn't that may cost them.
oooh, so close by Italy... should have been one nil
Bellotti well wide with a free header in the six yard box. You would have buried that
Garry Birtles is complaining about not scoring...YOU DIDN'T SCORE FOR A WHOLE YEAR FOR UNITED!!!!
He and Joe Hart were teammates last season.
LOL! I think he took 25 matches to score. I know which match he scored his first United goal.
The Swedes go just as close down the other end
Just wide from Toivonen from 25 yards out after great work from Forsberg
Senegal clinched a WC spot earlier today with a 0-2 win in South Africa and there is a L2 match between Newport County and Port Vale.
Teams out of the tunnel at Wembley...of course FOX go to commercial.
England wearing dark blue... I hate all this shirt changing
I get the impression that Italy would take a 0-0 draw
Me too. England should wear white and Germany green unless they go the 19966 WC Final colors.
STILL AT THE DAMN STUDIO!!
They're off from Wumberlee.
We are off... two seconds after Fox finally goes to Wembley
Already too slow!!
What an atrocious back pass there!
I still don't know why they play with it in the back
England break and almost score!
Trip should have cut that back
Look how dangerous England can be with they go FORWARD with the ball
decent attacking play to start
I was on the phone with Elizabeth , but saw both teams almost score. Michael Keane should have scored for England and a horrible back pass from Harry Maguire.
Belgium takes the lead vs Mexico
Poor defending by Jones as a shot from Sane lands in the side netting.
Hazard with the goal for Belgium.
Trippier blocks for a German corner.
Tongue N Cheek heads away the corner,.
Verratti booked for a cynical challenge.
France takes the lead vs Wales.
Rudiger , of Chelsea , fouls Tongue N Cheek, on loan from Chelsea.
Griezmann with the French goal
I don't know how Livermore gets a look-in to the England squad...he plays for West From...and they stink
Great shot by Sane... off the woodwork
OH!!!!! Sane with a long range curler that cannons off the bar.
The Citeh player beat the keeper on loan from Citeh.
Decent cross by Vardy
I like Vardy, he has pace!
Agreed. He plays more like Liverwurst. I can understand Baggies players making the Northern Ireland or Egyptian teams, but not the Three Lions.
How did Germany not take the lead. Great save by Pickford from Werner then Sane had the rebound blocked then the third attempt was shot well over.
Jones is going to have to come off
More bad news for United
Phil Jones is down injured and looks set to be substituted.
Joe Gomez makes his international debut, coming on for Jones.
Mexico ties it up in Belgium.
It's surprising that Germany haven't taken the lead. They are in complete control.
Guardado with a spot kick that tied it up for Mexico.
Rudiger with a long range effort easily gathered by Pickford, who picked it out of the air.
It's 0-0 at the half in Stockholm.
Been away from computer
Great save by Pickford
OH!!! The Germans blow another chance to take the lead . Werner was superbly put through and his shot was superbly saved by Pickford.
I was too. I was in the bog, but appeared to miss naught.
Poor by Draxler , falling down to try to win a penalty after running the ball out of play. Great defending by Trippier, who was not a tripper.
ooh, just wide by Tammy A
OH!!!! Tammy Abraham has a shot deflected inches wide for a corner off a run and pass from Harry Maguire. Nearly a debut goal.
A liverwurst of a finish after superb work by Tongue N Cheek.
Liverwurst scuffs a shot
England almost thru the middle!
Good spell for the hosts
Almost in again
Vardy tries to lob it over the keeper...
OH!!! Vardy chips Ter Steegen off a superb long ball then it's cleared away
The corner is out for another. A minute of stoppage time.
One added minute as England a second of back to back corners... cleared
Draxler heads away the corner . Joe Gomez fouls to prevent a German counter. A booking for the debutant.
It's 0-0 at the half.
Half time
Nil nil
Not that bad
It's half a minute into the WC playoff in Stockholm.
Agreed. I was really impressed by Tongue N Cheek. He had a great half.
Italy wins a corner as the Swedish keeper made a mess of a routine cross. The keeper makes up for it as he pushes around a long range effort from a short corner.
Nil nil away from home is not a good result....let one goal in at home and you are behind the 8 ball
That doesn't sound very promising.
Just tuned in ITV on that website I shared with you guys
Coverage of the England match
I'm watching Sweden vs Italy with your favorites, Kevin Keetings and Gary Birtles.
Buffon and the Hatchet involved in a collision. The veteran keeper upset because there was a minor shove.
Verratti suspended for the second leg due to yellow card accumulation.
Two quick goals in Belgium where the Belgians took a 2-1 lead then it became Desmond.
Awful acting by the Italians!!!
PATHETIC
Lots of cheating by the Italians, pretending to be injured for every little bit of contact.
GOAL.... Sweden take the lead!
Serves them right!!!!
GOAL !!! SWEDEN TAKE THE LEAD.
Back underway at Wembley.... in front of RED seats
Agreed. It was a long throw headed down and a shot from Jacobsen, the sub took a wicked deflection and wrong footed Buffon.
A brief stay for Desmond as Mexico now lead 2-3 in Belgium.
Sorry. It was Johansson with the goal
The Chunk gave Belgium a 2-1 lead then Hirving Lozano made it Desmond a minute later then Lozano with his second four minutes after that,
What a save!!
Great cross by Trip
Great header by Vardy
One handed save... I thought that was in
Ter Steegen does well to push away a header from Vardy off a cross from Trippier.
Newport County takes the lead vs Ebbw Vale in a L2 match
OH!!!! A long range effort from Darmian cannons off the post then the rebound is straight to the keeper.
Hummels clears a pass from Dier for a corner after great passing from Trippier and Tongue N Cheek. A horrific corner is easily cleared.
Liverwurst is booked . Not a tasty challenge.
Rash on for Tammy Abraham.
England had a 3 on 2... took too long to get it over
Then another good cross... almost
Tammy comes off being replaced by Marcus
Now 3-3 between Belgium and Mexico.
The Chunk with his second Belgian goal.
Portugal takes the lead vs the Saudis.
Draxler is substituted as he does the Can Can
Ebbw Vale ties it up at Newport.
France goes two up vs Wales.
A swap between former teammates as Kyle Walker is on for Trippier. Ryan Bertrand on for Danny Rose.,
Ollie with the second French goal
Wagner on for Werner.
Five minutes of stoppage time in Stockholm as Sweden aim to record a famous victory.
It's over in Stockholm as Sweden record a superb 1-0 win.
It finishes 1-1 between Newport County and Ebbw Vale.
Jack Cork is sandwiched on the pitch. He chooses Liverwurst from the menu and Lindy is on for Vardy. Seb Rudy for Gundogan and Julian Brandt on for Sane.
France has defeated Wales 2-0. Not exactly a shocker.
Sorry... just had game in background
Wish I was more excited for England games
I would give up a United title for an England championship
Three minutes of stoppage time at Wembuhlay.
Agreed. The fizz went out of this match a while ago.
I guess the performance of Tongue N Cheek was the big success of the night.
England haven't beaten Germany at Wembley since 1975
A draw would be the first draw since the Euro 96 semi final!
This would end Germany's streak of wins
Hummels fouls Lindy in the final seconds.
Lingard fouled to the left of the box
Will England actually put it into the box
Will they beat the first man
Last chance saloon...Rashford to take...OMG..LINGARD fires it over from six yards!!!
What a plonker
That is it
Ends 0-0
OH!!! Lindy blasts over in the six yard box as the free kick was headed on to him. It finishes 0-0
Take card David
TTFN
Great anoraking.
Cheers. You too. Great chatting with you.
