Some of the so called lesser teams are producing some brilliant football.......Turkey v Georgia was a great game but this Croatia v Albania game has beaten everything hands down. So much better than an England borefest

I suspect if Albania had been playing England they might not have been so open

This is the thing, some of these exciting games have been lesser teams against each other knowig it?s their better chance to win games so are going for it. Georgia throwing their keeper up in the last minute for example and conceding from it for example.

Absolute stormer of a game.. shows, given the amount of world class talent we have at our disposal, what an absolute insipid bore of a manager we have. Performances from teams way below us in the rankings showing how the game should be played!

Be honest tho, it's the only hope they've got, some of these teams are lucky to even qualify, and probs wouldn't under the old 32 team format, so they go out to try and win thus creating an open game.

Even if that were true and I?m not sure it is, does it really matter, if a game is entertaining it is entertaining.

Some of our games last season would?ve made better viewing for a neutral than some of the stuff I watched in the PFL/EFL

I doubt it. What level do their players play at? No idea but I'm guessing a good number are top/second division across European leagues.

The majority are top division players across England, Italy, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Swiss & Romania. Dobra wouldn?t get a sniff until he?s minimum a championship player.

Still can't score themselves though, down as another own goal!

Would have been an easy save for keeper, but was on target ..

Great finish from poor Scots play

Oh dear, great goal, but what a mistake.

[Bonnyman]

So uncomfortable on the ball, why are the defenders asking for the ball off the keeper they are not good enough to deal with it, might as well go long

Scotland trying to defend their way to results again...

Garbage so far

Only watched the last half an hour but it?s been pretty entertaining. Low on quality mind.
