I fecking knew Norway wouldn’t get the result they needed. I’m glad I didn’t change my plans for this match.

This team without Dzeko is worse than San Marino, feck me. Actually, we are worse than United too.

Doesn't matter if you finish 3rd or 4th. Play-offs are based on Nations League and since you were in League A and all (or most of) the other teams there will qualify directly, you'll be in it.
Yeah of course, old habit.

So we've got Serbia at home in the playoff semi and then potentially Scotland/Bulgaria in the final. If we don't make it I'll be bitterly disappointed.

If you cant pass those uninterested clowns then dunno what to say, also there is a rift between Jovic and that donkey of national coach.

You will note that I used the word racist as opposed to Bulgaria football supporters.
These racists are not football supporters. They use football as their media to express their twisted views.
So they had no interest in the football and would have loved to have stopped the football. That would have been for them a badge of honour.
You my friend are looking at this from a football perspective, which is completely understandable. To comprehend their motives you would need to look at it from a racists angle.
Publicity, Respect from those with no respect, We showed them. We stood up for our particular beliefs. And the culprits wanted their 15 minutes of fame.
However, yesterday it was football that won, 0-6 and that was important.
Yeah I see where you're coming from now but if we force a way for fans to point fingers at those involve, you have a way of pressing hard charges on them. Guess we will never have an answer on how to eventually beat racism.
It's crazy to think that they could have easily been black themselves and would be upset themselves.

Serbia massive favourites really.

Would be nice to get Norway/Scotland final as one would be in tournament then, neither has qualified since 2000.

Also with Bosnia draw, Finland are practically qualified which is brilliant achievement.

They had a great generation fifteen years ago with Litamanen, Hyppia, Forssell and all the goalkeepers but never came as close to qualifying as now.

If governments won't make a statement and sort their offenders out then I propose UEFA ban international football played being played in the country. If that doesn't resolve the issue then kick consistent offending countries out of EU. That should make governments take a stand.
It's not about taking a stand. It's about educating people. All these punishments are great, but it doesn't solve the problem. It just keeps it from happening at the game. But these people will still have the same ignorance. Anything UEFA/FIFA does won't solve the problem. It will only mask it...

It is very difficult to envisage a time when things like racism doesn't exist. It is an international problem and while the UK is highly multicultural, right wing associated activities are still prevalent. People say that education is the answer. And for some that ought to work.
But it is not possible to educate those who refuse to be educated.

Bulgaria have been ordered by Uefa to play their next competitive home game behind closed doors, with a further match suspended for two years after the racist chanting which marred the Euro 2020 qualifier with England this month.
