We may have qualified for the #WorldCup2026, but we had poor opponents, while still looking poor ourselves.
They have provided no excitement in how they play, and there's still a LOT of work to be done before facing the bigger opponents in the competition itself. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

It would be amazing to see Ireland at the World Cup again, as they build to their first ever home Euros. Hereโs hoping the boys in green deliver in the playoffs next March ๐ฎ๐ช 10/

Fair play to England - you can only beat whatโs in front of you and eight wins from eight with no goals conceded is pretty great.

Cross the ball, Kane will score.
Cross the ball, Kane will score.
Football doesn't *have* to be complicated...

Sam Matterface gets a lot of grief for being a, quite frankly, shit commentator.... but saying Jude Bellingham has been "superb" tonight takes the piss. Not saying Jude has been awful, but his possession has been sloppy.
We know he is talented and can change games, but don't fucking lie. #ALBENG
Albania vs Harry Kane in the World Cup Qualifier 0-2
Finally, something is happening from the one-man band!

Marcus Rashford makes a superb cross from the left that Kane heads home across goal at the far post #ALBENG 0-2
GOAL! Heโs done it again Harry Kane gets his second of the match thanks to an assist from in form Marcus Rashford #ALBENG #WCQ
You wouldnโt have been able to read any notes, Dixon. #ALBENG
The Three Lions break the deadlock from a Bukayo Saka corner, which gets headed on by an Albania defender for Harry Kane to pounce from close range #ALBENG 0-1
A game of this calibre would need a spectacular goal to break the deadlock... but this is #England, and the most unspectacular goal does the job. #ALBENG
Better to be lucky than good as they say; that was a crap corner no matter what Lee Dixon saysโฆ #ALBENG
GOAL! #England finally find a goal and it was the captain Harry Kane who puts it into the back of the net #ALBENG #WVQ
Albania's keeper clutching his chest there in the hope of convincing the ref Kane kicked him #ALBENG
Nice to see all the England flags in the England fans' stand, rather than adorning some roundabout on the outskirts of Stoke. #ALBENG โฝ
Why the fuck have they taken Eze off? Wharton and Burn have been way worse. #ALBENG
Itโs amazing that sometimes players have their best games when not playing. Appreciate this is Englands toughest game in the group and a lot of changes, but shows how good and underrated Konsa is for England. #ALBENG
Watching England play football. They're too concerned with keeping possession than risk the ball trying to attack. Yawn.

This Albanian team is missing an Edgar Cani ๐
