3-1 up after 40 minutes.

These Estonian Watch fixers and Dental assistants aren't all that though.

For context Ragnar Klavan is the current - back to back - Estonian player of the year, he's currently being kept out of the Liverpool centre back berth by 36-year old, central midfielder Lucas Leiva

Start picking your hotels out in Russia 'Berto lad.

I can only assume he was using the drones to get Spanish goods delivered from somewhere, because he certainly didn't use them to improve the football.

Yeah, I noticed that at the last two major international competitions.

Lol.

He started that here and it looks like he's perfected the analysis at Belgium.

He's got this group won already.

Not being funny, but looks like Southgate has got Englands group won as well.

Clap Clap. As some would say.

Looks like he's well on course to emulate Roy Hodgson's famous England side's record of 10 wins out of 10 in qualifying. A truly exceptional feat. What. A. Manager.

It's much different. It'd be churlish to deny RM hasn't had to go in there with a big black cloud over him and needed to stamp that group as in control ASAP.

As it stands they've won 4 out of 4 and scored 16 goals.

Our Belgian poster sounds pretty knowledgable of the situation and it sounds like RM has won them over already.

Hats off to him. Nice feller and attacking minded. No one reasonable would begrudge him nailing this post already.

I'm absolutely indifferent as to what Martinez does in the future.

He'll fail. Mark my words.

If he doesn't get that squad to a WC SF or at worst get an unlucky draw in the QF (but put in a good performance) it's a failure.

He's played 4 pub teams an awful Holland team and had his squad booed off after a pasting by Spain.

But he's going to qualify for the World Cup Ian. A monumental achievement and real statement of intent.

It's that big a win Roberto's warming up Mirallas to come on...even he cant screw this up.
