EUROPE WCQ- Friday Germany pummels San Marino

 England 3-0 Scotland: Three Lions score three

Chances were hard to come by in the opening exchanges with England failing to test their defensive opponent despite dominating large chunk of the game. However England went into the break with the upper hand when Sturridge glanced home a Kyle Walker cross in the 24th minute. Both Griffits and Hanley had chances to level the game but fluffed their lines. Six minutes after the interval, Lallana doubled the lead with a header into the far corner after neat exchange from the host. England made most of all the chances they had as Scotland were made to rue their misses when Chelsea defender Gary Cahill glanced Rooney’s corner into the far corner with another header. They scored all goals from headers as they reamain top of the group and unbeaten in 33 qualifiers.

 Khedira opened proceedings by rounding off the goalkeeper to slot home and Gnabry added a second off a poor clearance. Hector scored the third after a neat exchange with Gotze finishing into the bottom corner.  Gnabry got his second after the break from a Joshua Kimmich cross and that was after two offside goals by Gomez were chalked off and Hector also got his brace poking home under Simoncini on the 75th minute. One minute later, Gnabry completed his hattrick volleying home a Muller cross. The seventh of the game arrived through an own goal from Stefanelli and Volland piled more misery on the host when he twisted and fired in a shot to make it eighth on the night in a repeat of their 13-o loss to the same opponent in 2006.

France 2-1 Sweden: Payet saves Les Blues

Sweden took the lead somewhat against the run of play when Forsberg found the net in the 54th minute with an opportunistic free kick from 35 yards out that completely caught out Lloris- knuckle ball. France got back in the game with Pogba leveling just three minutes later after Payet sent in an inviting cross from the left and the Manchester United star beat his marker to the ball before heading home off the underside of the bar with Varane also having a hand in it. In the 65th minute, Payet struck after home Olsen failed to collect a cross from the right under pressure from Griezmann and Payet had little trouble finding the empty net. Isaac Thelin could have salvaged a draw for Sweden after he sent a 10-yard strike out wide.
