And in news from earlier today England were held to just four nil by Kosovo, admittedly Kosovo had home advantage. In addition a result from a qualifying match in the African Cup of Nations saw some outfit called Eswatini pushed Senegal to four one. Are they some newly discovered tribe or perhaps they are the African equivalent of the Rock of Gibralta or Vatican City perhaps?

See if I read that and didn't know the score I would have thought Kosovo had won.

@Higgins Eswatini used to be called Swaziland until they changed their name in 2018. They are a landlocked enclave surrounded by South Africa - like Lesotho.
I think they were pissed off with being mistaken for Switzerland

@Hooroo I was being a little facetious. England playing pipsqueaks like Kosovo (ranked 114th by FIFA compared to England's 4th) should have seen the score balloon out to something like eight or nine.

And here is why football will always be a much bigger sport than rugby.
It just doesn't work like that. You can dominate a game and lose it, and will quite often draw it. The little guys are always a chance. Always.
There was a lot of feelgood about this match too - Kosovo were hugely welcoming to England fans - I don't think this has ever happened before!

I did understand that but it was how you had the score. It was 0-4 not 4-0. Another football nuance.

The whole of qualifying for the Euros looks like guaranteeing that none of the bigger countries will miss out. Hard to call who will be favourites - all of France, Spain, England, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands have pretty good teams with some weaknesses and there is Croatia, Ukraine, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia lurking around as well.

of course they can't miss out, with the tournament being spread across the continent, a big side missing out would be a disaster.
Changing the entire format of the tournament looks like a stupid idea from the outside

It's a one off to celebrate the anniversary isn't it? The next one will be back to a single host I think.
In other news, Pochettino has been sacked. I wonder how desirable Spurs will look to managers.
-
There will be plenty of interest for Pochettino's services in Spain and at Bayern Munich.
Expect the likes of Eriksen to be queuing up to leave in January.

We have four first team players running down their current deals including Eriksen and Aldewiereld. 25 points from his last 24 league games is unacceptable. And he looked clueless as to where to go to turn things around. Sadly he had to go.

@canefan It's amazing that Spurs were on the edge of the title race with a trip to Burnley where they could have been right in contention with a win - and they have had relegation form since then. Getting to the Champions League final and being sacked a few months later is right up there with Leicester winning the title and Ranieri being sacked

@MajorRage said in EPL 19/20:
Yeah Mourinho and no budget is not exactly a match made in heaven!!
The only way it works is if Mourinho realizes his reputation has taken a hit and he wants to make a comeback. Can't see it myself, he hasn't won without a star studded squad since Porto, and that feels like a lifetime ago
-
Mourinho it is.
This could end badly, but the way I see it, he picks up a team in 14th place with a bunch of the better players clamouring to leave. As well as Pochettino did, and he was excellent, he never won anything for us. Furthermore he and the team seemed to stumble in the big games. This is high risk high reward stuff from Daniel Levy, if nothing else it is a statement of intent. I hope we don't get the ManU version of Jose but considering he was run out of his last 2 (or did RM make it 3?) stops, we might be looking for another manager in a couple of years
