Lots of international friendlies today, most notably England vs. Scotland.

Also, Spain brought a C or D squad to play in Ecuador.

US goes down 2 early to Bosnia then scores 4 in the second half, 3 by Altidore to take the lead.

And now Bosnia get one in the 90th. Guess I should have slipped out of the office to catch that one.

3 goals and an assist for Altidore in 41 minutes. Damn! Dzeko had a pretty good showing for the home side too.

That's 12 straight wins for the USA in a row. I think it's the longest running streak in the world right now. Obviously it's against a lot of CONCACAF opponents, but a good stat nonetheless.

Russia lost to Northern Ireland!? In a real game!?

I think this unofficially seals Portugal's qualification for Brazil

I remember a bunch of years ago when the Northern Irish beat England in a WCQ game. The Northern Irish fans' chants were, to England and their fans, "Are you Scotland in disguise?"

Debating it myself. While a WC in Brazil would certainly be great, it's also certainly going to be a logistical nightmare. I don't see how they'll handle it.

I'm leaning towards EURO 2016 in France instead. It will without a doubt be better from an operational standpoint, and the calibre of the teams involved is likely higher across the board (bigger field than usual may change that though).

Busy day for me, so I can't watch today's qualifiers, but look forward to reports from the CP Footy faithful.
