We have 10 players on duty over the next week or so.
Which is great news.
But I have noticed how many top players pull out of the friendlies.
But you can't blame them.
Some of the games like the two England are involved in are just money makers.
Another chance to exploit the fans.
Clubs I'm sure don't want to risk injury to key players for a game that is totally pointless.

Really hope Washington can make it with Northern Ireland. He is on the bench tonight.

Interesting to see that Norwich goalkeeper, Angus Gunn has been added to the England squad. If he makes an appearance against Brazil on Tuesday he would be the first Championship player to appear for England since Jay Bothroyd!

If he was in the Premier League he'd be in with a shout.

Smithies has PL class and we are lucky to have him. Having said that, Pickering last night was amazing!

If we can get a few bob for him sell him in January window. Call back other keeper from THE COBBLERS.

First leg it was never a penalty. Second leg should not have been played due to pitch.

My reasons being his poor for in previous game. And the travel implications of international duty.

Italy have failed to make it for the first time since 1958. Shame for Buffon more than anything.

Netherlands, USA and Chile already missed out.

Will the World Cup miss these big teams or will it be better for it?

These are surprising non-qualifiers and can only hope that other teams will step up to make a serious challenge against the likes of Brazil and Germany. Somehow I cannot see England having enough depth of quality to be one of them...

It would have been nice to see Buffon bow out at the World Cup but they are a poor Italian side at this time.

I wonder whether Zlatan will come out of retirement to play for Sweden?

There will be a real chance for a lesser nation to make a big move. I wonder if a team from Asia or Africa will go far and seize the opportunity?

Austrilia have qualified, beating Honduras 3-1.

Despite a Man of The Match performance in the first leg Luongo was an unused substitute today. It means we have another QPR player likely to feature in the World Cup with Luongo's Australia joining Wszolek's Poland in Russia!
