The big game will Iceland-Germany. Iceland won the match in Germany and the win caused such an uproar that they fired their coach. If Iceland manage a draw they will win the group, Germany will have to win. The stadium is sold out as it is a big chance for the women's side to qualify for the WC for the first time.

The worry this match is the state of the attack. The nr. 1 striker had a baby in the spring and signed a contract with her local side here (she usually plays in the US) to get herself into shape for this match but she's only had a few minutes of football. Her backup just did her cruciate about 2 weeks ago. Our captain and one of the world's best player only recently came back from injury that she suffered in the CL final last spring. When Iceland beat Germany there wasn't any injury problems so really nothing can go wrong in order for them to get a result. Hopefully the support and the pressure of failure for the German ladies will have an effect.

That’s bloody well impressing, beating Germany away! What kind of mushrooms do you serve in Iceland these days?

We not only beat them, we scored 3.

Basically it's the mentality of the team. Like the men's team they believe they can beat anyone. The difference between good and great teams is the mentality more so than the talent.

To answer you literally, most of our mushrooms come from Flúðir which is a small town in Southern Iceland. They mostly grow Agaricus campestris and Agaricus bisporus.

Why creating 30 whatsapp Groups for 30 players ? He can directly chat to an idividual with out creating a group. Isn't it?

Their boy friends must be thinking oh god not again Phil every minute ;)

Welcome to Manchester reception committee
Kazakhstan 0-2 England at halftime
Albania 1-1 Scotland at halftime. Scotland were leading for most of the first half so they'll be disappointed by that. The match is on BBC Alba.

England have already qualified.

If Scotland win they could qualify directly (if Switzerland drop points - they're drawing 0-0 at the moment) or they could still be in with a chance of qualifying, via the playoffs.

Scotland are winning 1-2 now, Switzerland game still goalless - about 20 minutes to play. If the scores stay as they are, Scotland qualify. Lizzie Arnot has just been subbed off.

England are winning 0-4 now. Neville made 11 changes from the Wales game, so no Greenwood today.
