Less than a week ago, Gary Lineker called for a FIFA rule change whilst watching England dismantle San Marino.
“Surely we’ve reached the stage where the lowest ranked nations should play amongst themselves to qualify for the right to play at this level. It’s become absurd,” he wrote.
He added: “It’s not condescending and sneering. It works brilliantly in the FA Cup. It would actually be more meaningful to make it through to this stage. Just getting battered constantly must be soul destroying.”
A lot of football fans agreed with Lineker after sitting through England’s comfortable 5-0 victory.
