' HIGHER THAN ENGLAND ? '

Fri Jun 12, 2015 10:32 pm

Tonight's win is absolutely massive, not only do we top the group but we are now five points clear of 3rd.

Even more good news, if talksport are correct, it was said that we will be in the top seeding pot for the World Cup in Russia 2018 and when the next FIFA rankings are announced we will be up to 11th, higher than England.

If this is true then it will be an amazing achievement whether you agree with the ranking system or not, it pushes our Country right up among the elite of World football.

Tonight was a special night, a brilliant result but the national anthem in the second half had the hairs on my neck standing and I had goosebumps.

Brilliant evening and credit to all the players and Chris Coleman for what they have done so far.

Amazing, I don't agree with the system, but it's about time we benefited, it's worked against us for the last fifty years or more .....

the singing tonight was something special.....and not just one song being repeated, and not chanting, but actually singing.

Well done everyone.

If England lose on Sunday we go to 11th also above Italy

Do we not go above England anyway?

I think if England had beaten both Ireland and Slovenia they would have gone above us. But, because they only drew against Ireland, doesnt that mean that they cant now go above us - even if they beat Slovenia?

England will NEVER be above us

Re: ' HIGHER THAN ENGLAND ? '
