Italy struggling to break down Northern Ireland, what’s the score of the Switzerland game?

2-0 does this mean Italy are currently heading for the playoffs not good for the current European Champions in a one leg playoff as well?

Italy need two I think if Swiss stays the same that’s currently 3-0

Any injuries?

Urgh, Robbo went down, he’s limping off the pitch. Oh FFS.

At least we have a ready replacement for him, hopefully not to serious but something we can cover

Scotland got a 2nd goal. Not sure how it’s not a 3rd just now.

So Italy need to go through the playoffs

Awkward

He’s walking around now.

“We” bottled it against Latvia. Wasted loads of chances, ending in a very (for us) tragic draw. Norway just couldn’t simply score.
And now we have to beat the Netherlands tomorrow away. They don’t get a crowd, which is good I suppose. But they are a better team and will normally beat Norway. This Norwegian team has some quite good players (although some are not so good, while others are worse) and even the team shape looks relatively decent . But beating the Netherlands is a bridge too far I reckon. So Norway will remain the “almost, but not quite” team in all likelihood.
Unless something strange happens, I will watch the game though.
My prediction is 3-1 to the Netherlands.

Guess we will get an update from his own mouth considering he is Captain.

As I said short term not an issue considering Tsimkas and the form he is in.

Let’s hope that it’s just a bit of a cramp, that’s all.

Looks like Andy Robertson went off with a hamstring injury. Wtf is going on with our luck or lack of it with injuries? :man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming::man_facepalming:

Sadly a bit typical I reckon, for a player struggling to find his best form :confused:

He wouldn’t be walking around on a hamstring surely?

Who is he?

There is reports he went off holding his hamstring but nothing more than what anyone could see on TV, seems to ruled out 7 other players there we don’t know about.

I was referring to Wilkored’s post above.

No idea but there’s various tweets reporting that Robbo was holding his hamstring :man_facepalming:

At least Greece aren’t playing tomorrow
