Strange decision imho that Sweden didn't bring on Ibrahimović with 10 minutes to go.
So we made it. Oh well, at least I'll have one team to keep my interest in this WC.
Welcome to the world cup club. Italy fans may not apply for membership, decision pending on australians.

As a mate of mine on facebook who went to the game said. "England games at wembley are now just full of northerners who seem to put their clubs over their country. Much better atmosphere at aqay games".

I see declan rice has also had his say on it. There's one I would have no trouble boo'ing.

Excited that Poland made it although our performance in major tournaments recently doesn't fill me with any great expectations

Draw. If a knockout game let penalties decide fate. On current form Poland would spank Australia.

Australia has to get there first and that's not looking too likely thanks to Arnie.

No real group of death but I'd say England have got one of the harder groups.

Not that I'm in the slightest bit surprised, but I found this little fact.
Of the 22 FIFA executives who voted in 2010 for Qatar to host the tournament, at least 16 have either been banned, accused of or indicted for criminal corruption, involved in FBI cases or accused of ethical violations but not convicted.

Scotland v Ukraine at Hamden Park on the 1st of June. Can the Ukraine win despite what is happening in their country? Not sure what their prep has been but I don't think ideal.

You really should educate yourself on how that is offensive to the people of Ukraine.

Scotland soundly beaten 1-3 by Ukraine at Hampden last night/this morning. Going by the reports the galvanized Ukraine side deserved their victory and now play Wales on Sunday for a place in the World Cup. Though Wales will not be a as soft a touch as my lot I strongly fancy the Ukrainians to qualify, which would be a great achievement considering the position they find themselves in. If they do get there most global supporters of the game will wish them well. Absolutely nothing against the Welsh (their street names apart) but hoping that Ukraine make it.
