Do they re-draw the Nations League groups now or do Scotland have to play Israel yet again? Twice?

Wales get a playoff so long as three of France, Belgium, Italy and Spain qualify through the normal groups, I think.

not sure I’ll ever feel as excited as I did for a split second when Sterling hit the side netting at the start of our first game in the 2014 world cup

Oh look, Grealish got MOTM

Not actually true, Evanescence had been knocked off the top 3 weeks before he was born. Crazy in Love was #1

Feel like they invented this tournament whilst absolutely hammered and then spent a year figuring out how to make it work

Umm …Bellingham was born July 29th 2003

Don’t see how Evanescence was #1 either way you read these dates

He’s Evanescence until he turns Beyonce
