What's happening here @harms? 
Yep. Big talent apparently. Former Leicester midfielder Joey Gudjonsson's son.
ROI 0-0 with Bulgaria.
Thanks.
Our C-team was a few minutes away from beating Austria away.
Job done, good stuff
We still desperately need a striker

He's played almost every game for City this season.
How can England be 3rd in the group when we have a better goal difference than Denmark?
Come back to me when you've not scored a goal in over 10 games and your top scorer in the games before that is a centre half.
Edit: 10 hours
Thank God its over now.
Denmark has 8 goals to England's 7 is the criteria I guess
'Cause england lost to denmark
I see England are the best in the world again after beating Iceland (population 330,000).
Head-to-head results.
The Rice and Mount story is quite cute.
A detail of Belgium's 2-1 goal over Denmark is that the referee calls Andreas Christensen over to talk to him. Meanwhile, Belgium take the free kick quickly and score in the empty space that Andreas Chrisensen has left to get over to the referee. But the referee lets Belgium play.
Who's already sent their best players home because the game didn't matter and were literally retiring 5 players tonight and were down to 10 men because the ref was a bit shit.
Have you watched England in this tournament? They were terrible away to Iceland and lucky to get the win. They were bad against Denmark, failed to score both games. Traded wins with Belgium. 2 good games out of 6. Danes were more consistent with 4 good games played (bad in the last two but still won one of them). Belgium obviously better.
Bittersweet watching Norway tonight. Loved the performance from a bunch of reserves that weren’t even called up three days ago and barely managed a training session together. But ultimately pissed off at how we always fall short at the final hurdles (not so much the equaliser tonight but in general). Feck the federation for always hiring dinosaurs with cowardly tactics, especially when we have two elite attacking players and should be playing to their strengths. Feck the managers for being cowardly dinosaurs. Feck our health authorities and government for being the only ones in the whole world failing to realise the importance of sports, and deliberately sabotaging whatever small chance we have to succeed.
Great to get that out of the system. Bring on the next international break in March, I’ll be ready for more heart breaks.

I wasn't watching. Nice scoreWhat's happening here @harms?
We were doing quite well for a while, no? As in before game with Turkey.I wasn't watching. Nice score
Romania feel a bit out of place in pot 2. Might be a good chance for a pot 3 team.
This is the 6th game in a row without a win, I think? 2019 was quite good, despite being outclassed by Belgium both times, 2020 – not so much.
I thought we were 3 nill up against Hungary and they came back with 2 late goal. I was sure I watched it this year?
Yeah, we've played 6 games since then, 3 draws and 3 losses. 2 & 2 if you exclude friendlies.
Really? Ah well.. Fecking stopped really following international football after Euro 2008.
No more international football until March 2021. Rejoice!
None of any of this are criteria for being placed 3rd in the table, despite having the same points and a better goal difference than the 2nd placed team.
Someone else has already explained the real reason, so don't worry.
In any case, I'm fully aware that England flatter to deceive. Often looking World class against cannon fodder only to display the reality of our level against anyone decent.
I think England were the better side against Belgium in the second game. In the first game I think it was even on the quality of chances over the course of the game but one win each was fair, even if they were the wrong way round.
I think the big issue we had (aside from fitness issues in the first break) was indiscipline. We gave away 4 penalties and received 3 red cards in this group. The Maguire red against Denmark was the defining moment in the competition for us. We were in the commanding position in the group at that point but eventually losing that game meant we had to go to Belgium and win.
Of course Iceland weren't good but who would have thought that we would play really good football and are scoring many goals if Southgate trusts his quality attacking players 
Good Nations League finals tournament with France, Spain, Italy and Belgium
