On a serious note what benefit has finishing top of our nations league group got us?

Typical of FIFA to change the goal posts at this stage. Is there a more corrupt governing body in sport?

A more or less guaranteed play off for World Cup qualification if we don’t qualify from the group. Two bites of the qualification cherry.

Cool. In theory we should have an excellent chance to qualifying for the finals.

And we get promoted to the top division / tier of course, which is an achievement in itself but will also help in rankings/ seedings for the next Euros qualification campaign.

I think he's seen the light now following the dramatic turnaround on that night a few weeks ago
