Italy see out a creditable draw against Norn Iron. Scotland and Wales continue to embarrass themselves. Never mind, they're still nicer places to live than England.

Montenegro continue their extremely impressive start to the campaign by beating Switzerland and going top of England's group. Ireland cannot quite muster the quality to stop Russia schooling them at their new stadium. Germany beat Turkey easily in what has become something of a derby. Estonia stun Serbia at home 3-1, wouldn't have liked to see the aftermath of that. Portugul get their own campaign off the ground by beating Denmark, Nani really is a peculiarly unpleasant looking person isn't he.

Rumours that United are lining up Juventus's 40 year old goalkeeper to replace their own 40 year old goalkeeper have not been quelled.

Something incendiary about Man City, something schadenfreude-y about Liverpool. GO
