Draw 11
Preamble by Rob Smyth :
"Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in. After a shambolic 2016, it seemed like the England football team were as over, done, like skinny jeans. But there has been enough encouragement, in Gareth Southgate’s unsentimental rhetoric and the perky performance in Germany on Wednesday, to be drawn in again.
We know they will beat Lithuania today - no easy games at international level my corn-addled foot - but the fun will be in seeing how they beat them, whether Dele Alli and Adam Lallana combine as encouragingly as they did in Dortmund, and what system Southgate decides to play. What else are you going to do with your afternoon, watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic on the Tiny Pop channel? You are? Oh fair enough, each his own."
