so England got their perfect 10 out of 10.

There is no hope of this, but the press, and the media and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all, need to remember that next year, England won't be able to fill their boots against San Marino, Lithuania, Switzerland et al

It might be harder than that...... and England might not do as well, as a result

Still......... at least England are unlikely to be as woefully and as predictably inadequate as they were in Brazil, last year

I may not get too excited though......... better that way, I think

Netherlands will fail to qualify tonight unless they beat the Czech Republic and Turkey lose at home to Iceland.

Sounds like there has been a bit of handbags in the Dutch camp between Memphis & RVP.

Yep, what an amazing fall they have made in this qualifying group. Considering its now easier than ever to qualify.

Will be strange not having the Dutch at the tournament.

They will be missed. Nice to see some of the smaller nations involved but I do like having the big boys as well.

I still wouldn't rule out a second half comeback but at present they are out.
