Exactly.

If England win the World Cup in 12 months time, nobody will give a **** they were shite against Andorra. Games like this, particularly when played at a stupid time of year, are about getting the 3 points and going home.

Think of Brazil's struggles to make it to the 2002 World Cup

So you're saying we're definitely going to win?

Phew. That takes the pressure off.

Crucial qualifier game tonight between Colombia and Argentina too

Only a friendly but in his fourth game as manager, Tuchel's England are the first English side to lose against an African country.

Australia one down early beat KSA away, 2-1. Direct qualification for the Socceroos.

This Socceroos team is one of the worst we’ve put out in 30 years and yet ended up qualifying pretty easily

Important for the game here but can’t see them doing much

One of the things with WCQ is that the expanded number of teams in the finals means that it is easier to qualify sooner from what I can see. That said, doing Saudi on their own patch is clearly a very good result.

The Socceroos aren't a bad side. I think we are getting more depth and the players seem to be united. There are some very promising youngsters coming through as well.
