I watched the Belgium vs Estonia game, now don't get me wrong Estonia were at times guilty of giving away possession far too easily but what I witnessed tonight from Belgium was one of the most complete performances I have seen in international football in years.

No real upsets last night.
Bulgaria 2-0 Holland tonight has to be a bit of an upset, let's hope Holland finish in 3rd or 4th in their group so we don't potentially get them in a playoff. Luxembourg 1-3 France, France only got their 3rd goal with 13 mins to go. How do Switzerland keep on getting to finals? This campaign, P5 W5. Qualified for last 3 World Cups Qualified for 3 of last 4 Euro's (one as host). What are they doing right that a lot of other "middle order" European teams can't do with such regularity? And Greece? Qualified for Euro 2004 2008 2012, then had a stinker of a campaign for 2016 (finishing 6th in a group containing Faroe's, Finland, Norn Iron. Qualified for WC 2010 2014. Now looking good for at least a playoff in this campaign. |

They were a mid-ranking european team who missed as many if not more finals that they qualified for, until the Swiss started monopolising running FIFA about 15 years ago. I would love to have got the groups they have in that period. Curious.

Plus 1 They have some record of qualifying without any great players. Whatever they are doing it's working. |

To be fair, Switzerland on paper are a very good side. Not as good as the top nations but are definitely in that second bracket.

And England. At least the Swiss don't pedal the belief that they will win it. |

I know you are merely quoting a classic but they are technically German.

That England line up is the worst I've ever seen.
They really have fallen in the last 5-10 years. Remember the teams they had for Euro 96 and up to 2006. Not this campaign but they will miss out on a WC soon unless a flood of new players come in. |

Did Czech -3 in my bet, really should have it at -5 which was the normal handicap. Had England & Germany-1 each in a treble as well.
Threw a few quid on Slovakia, Poland & Scotland. |

Poland seem very short for such a tricky game. I can't see Scotland winning either.
