Not even as a sleep aid? They can be rather soul draining to watch. I'm not even English and that 0-0 Algeria match still haunts me.
The U21s are brilliant, completely different in usual style.
That Algeria game almost made me renounce my citizenship

MOTM for Garbutt
Don't get to hear them very often but think Pip.
Lovely interview with both Luke and John with Stones handing Garbutt the MOTM award

From The Guardian regards to the Welshians battle with the Belg
http://www.theguardian.com/football...ifiers-10-things-to-look-out-for-this-weekend
“Yes, we can win the Euros!” was the headline across one Belgian newspaper at the beginning of this week, showing that England do not have a monopoly on exaggerating the importance of friendlies. Mind you, Sunday’s victory over France in Paris was mighty impressive, with Belgium royally outclassing their hosts – technically, physically and even tactically – waltzing into a 4-1 lead before easing off and allowing France to hit two late goals that did not really save their honour. All of which could be seen as a little ominous for Wales. True, Marouane Fellaini, who scored twice in Paris, suffered an injury that will make him miss the match in Cardiff, but Nacer Chadli is a decent replacement even if he does not carry the same sort of menace as Fellaini. And the outstanding performance of Radja Nainggolan offered more evidence that this Belgium team could cause Wales even more problems than they did in November’s 0-0 draw in Brussels, when Chris Coleman’s side delivered a highly accomplished away performance but still needed Wayne Hennessey to produce a couple of splendid saves. James Chester was also superb in Brussels and that has been the encouraging thing about the Welsh campaign so far: their excellent first half of it has been down to much more than just Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey. Wales are a proper team with real fluency, method and spirit as well as a sprinkling of rare class, so while they face a big challenge this weekend, so do Belgium, and both countries look strong bets to qualify for the finals irrespective of Friday’s result.

Guam get a big victory!

Just shows that if time is taken, even really low teams on the pecking order can improve themselves to be competitive
To go from losing 19-0 15 years ago to now topping their group is pretty impressive
Good luck to them

Stories like that Guam one always make me think that Oceania should get at least 1 guaranteed slot at the World Cup Finals. Some of the sides in there are probably on the same level as Guam are in their confederation
It would light a fire under the other teams in Oceania if they knew they could qualify straight for the Finals so long as they could win the qualifying
Maybe do it as two groups with the group winners advancing to play one another? Making it a one match situation means that there's a chance someone could upset New Zealand and makes the Final 32
As it stands right now, even if someone could manage to qualify above the All Whites, they'd be stuck playing someone from South America or Asia over two legs.
The winner of Oceania outright should get into the Final 32 teams IMO
