Doom-monger obsessed with Herrera & the M.E.N.
Kane gets his fourth. 6-0.
Hungary have taken lead against Poland.
During this game, if this carries on!Matter of time before he breaks Rooney's record.
Three pointless.This is pointless.
I hope England hit something ridiculous like 20, if anything to show FIFA that these games should not be played anymore. Total waste of time from proper football.This is getting a bit silly now.
What does it mean with the playoffs?As things stand, that would be a great result for us (Scotland)
It's nothing about learning from those games - it's about building the local football culture, getting to play the best of the best, and giving your football audience a chance to see the stars at their own home.San Marino, Andorra, Gibraltar, etc won't learn anything from getting destroyed by better teams.
CONCACAF has pre-qualifier games for its rubbish teams.
What does it mean with the playoffs?
Yeah but I’ve been saying for ages, England seem to constantly have these easy games, never remember that many for Rooneys era.Rooney got his fair share against the likes of San Marino, Scotland and Andorra as well. It's the nature of the beast.
So this is where Ole has been this week.Watching this San Marino team is somehow more painful than watching us. Even by their standards they’ve found a new low.

About half an hour at this rateMatter of time before he breaks Rooney's record.
Not sure. I just think he is a really good international manager. Doesn't mean it will transfer back to club football.Southgate gets a lot of stick around here, but I can't remember an England manager that got the team to perform so consistently well.
I wonder how he'd do in the prem with a talented squad and fat transfer kittey behind him.
ITV wanking themselves inside out over it. As usual he'll vanish as soon as he comes up against actual defenders, as was shown in the Euros.13 goals in hat tricks against absolute minnows for Kane this season
Problem is they don't play consistently well against good sides and in the PL he would be facing good or at least competitive sides every week. Far too many qualifying games are foregone conclusions.Southgate gets a lot of stick around here, but I can't remember an England manager that got the team to perform so consistently well.

Saka should be taken off for trying to shoot from there.. 3 players in the box unmarkedNot sure. I just think he is a really good international manager. Doesn't mean it will transfer back to club football.
Phenomenal 1st half performance by Scotland. Just need to keep it going for the 2nd half. Denmark look rattled and worst I’ve seen them play in a long time.
We are much different side without Højbjerg and Delaney. They have really been both the workhorses and playmakers of this great run for Denmark. Not to take anything away from Scotland - they have played really well. Could easily have been two up, had it not been for an excellent Schmeichel save.
Do Scotland get seeded if they win?
Rooney got his fair share against the likes of San Marino, Scotland and Andorra as well. It's the nature of the beast.
What’s the record for most individual goals in a single match?
I don't see the problem, they're a nation - why shouldn't they have a go. It's not compelling viewing but that's not the point, it's about fairness.Interesting debate with San Marino.
I mean said on comms population is similar size to Rochdale so have to be realistic.
Perhaps fair solution is to if they're in nations league group with Andorra, Malta, Faroes or something bottom 2 teams don't make the main qualifiers perhaps?
Andorra beaten them comfortably twice and they don't get thrashed as often so they deserve to be in imo.
I feel sorry for San Marino. They came into this game knowing they were going to get smashed and it was just a question of what the score line was going to be. They're not going to get better at the game playing against the likes of England because the difference in quality is too great. I understand that they deserve to have that opportunity to play against the 'big' teams, such as England, but this game doesn't really serve anyone. It's an easy way to pad the stats, but that's it.
