Yes, we are and no, it hasn't. Doesn't mean it won't be but there's nothing in it yet.

What's the betting Rice and Grealish will be out of the England squad through an imaginary injury 

We could easily be beat out the gate

Imaginary injury for an imaginary game

Need to avoid this imo. We could get a good beating.

For confidence we should be playing the rock etc and try and get a few goals

Would rather play Bosnia in a dead rubber but not England going into a vital away game against Wales. 

With the amount of pressure he's already under, Kenny needs the England friendly like a hole in the head. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

We would have a chance beating England if they started Maguire, Walker and Pickford.

Surely a few proper days on the training pitch and getting extra time to work with the players would be more beneficial than playing a game? It’s been a pretty hectic start to his reign

Would agree but they have to play a friendly as far as I know. Willing to be corrected

if that’s that a home game i hope it would be - October we’ve had away, home, away. Same again in November and the players will be boll***d by the time Bulgaria game comes around if we had to go to Bosnia ..and throw in the Covid risks. England would be the best away fixture possible considering travel etc.

Away to Bosnia thanks to UEFA supposedly but not 100% confirmed. England would be much better if we have to play especially given we're in Cardiff first. Would allow SK to base themselves in England for the few days.

That's what I was thinking if we could base ourselves in say Bristol would avoid flights to and fro then back to Dublin for Bulgaria.

As the independent article suggests I'd imagine an alternative date with Bosnia could be negotiated.

I was thinking they could play Kosovo but I think they aren't allowed to play for political reasons.

All week people have been talking about getting seeding for the world cup. 
But now you want to lose to England? Are you mad? Losing to England unnecessarily could ruin our chances.

After tonights results we are the 20th UEFA ranked team. 
We are just hanging on 2nd seeds despite losing.



Losing to England in a friendly next game would cost us 3.16 points.
It's way too tight for that.

We need to win a match. Bosnia over England at the moment unfortunately. We have no chance against England or any of the teams in tier 1 of the Nations League at the moment. Take on someone at our level and try and win.
