So if Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Iran are all out, does that mean England is the only Islamic country left in ??

No, that’s where you’re wrong.

I don’t like double negatives.

Looks like Saudi Arabia will beheading home at this rate.

Depends if Saudi are doing any deals with Russia. The Saudi King/Prince watching the match alongside Putin didn't seem too bothered.

No host has ever lost their opening game, according to a pundit before the match. Saudi strikers would have had more to fear if the result had gone the other way.

As my Scottish neighbour said in the pub last night, even England would have beaten the Saudis, at least 1-0.

I wouldn't want to be a Saudi defender right now, I dread to think what penalty awaits for the sort of showing they're putting on.

I drew Spain in the work sweep stake and was quietly confident until this happened:

Win-win for the Spanish FA - do well or blame Real Madrid

We're fed up of our press hyping us up; we know we've got that 4% chance that was quoted in some research or something last week but the press seem to have stuck a 0 after it. No world class keeper, no world class playmaker and a lack of leaders. We'll go out in the last eight.

That would be my guess too. They'll go out pretty much as soon as they come up against 'top 10' opposition.
