I like Gibraltar's stadium. You can watch football and do close-up planespotting at the same time.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I'm so invested in San Marino winning this game...totally second best so far though
Didn't know so many people had interest in San Marino vs Gibraltar. More people on CAF than in those countries almost 
. True minnows.
I wonder if a CAF side would beat them?

San Marino, maybe. They have one win in thirty years of qualifiers/friendlies. If these two were league teams, though, Gibraltar would be several levels above. They have already won four games in six years, including away to Mkhitaryan's Armenia. I'd say Gibraltar is probably a decent non-league side.
I like the British/Spanish hybrid names you get with the Gibraltar team like Ken Chipolina and Graeme Torilla.
Urgh pickford again and overall a weird and underwhelming team selection from southgate
How the feck does Pickford continue to get picked as the number 1 keeper for England?
Can't even begin to start on that team
The dream is over for San Marino... For now
Not a great England line up, but still have more then enough to get past Iceland.
Do not underestimate Iceland. They are more than capable to push for a win.
We are missing, in my opinion, our best CB and two of our best midfielders though. I have a feeling things will not go as well for us as they did 4 years ago
I forgot to cancel after my trial for FuBoTV which on the bright side means I get to watch a lot of these matches. Unfortunately a lot of them are on TuDN and I don’t understand the Spanish commentary... yet. It would be nice if there were at least English subtitles.
Given the current squad the only questionable pick I'd say is Pickford but
hopefully he starts Pope or Henderson in the other match. Ward-Prowse is a bit random but the midfield options are fairly limited, so I see the logic.

Unpopular opinion but I think Ward Prowse is underrated, he’s a good player. If TAA is injured then I understand him not being in the team but if not then that’s a weird one for me.
Great to see Foden starting, long overdue.
What channel is this on?
The England kit looks pretty smart.
SkySports
Sky Sports Football Channel 403.
He certainly wasn't getting many starting chances under Pep. Maybe that'll change now that Silva has left.
We're missing 5 starters and are starting 2 players that are playing in Iceland. Also our formation is bizarre. 4-5-1 with 4 central defenders, diamond midfield and left winger.
England are playing 4-4-3 with Trippier left back, Rice as DMC. Sterling and Sancho on wings.
It's on 401 Main Event as well. I only have the football channels.
Decent enough team for Iceland. I'd have probably have gone with Maitland-Niles at left-back as he has experience playing there. Would have also Mount or Grealish in place of Ward-Prowse, but it'll be interesting to see how he gets on. He's had a good season for Soton and he obviously deserves his call up. The fact that we're playing with a three should allow him to drift wide and use his great crossing ability to pick out the front men.
Dier or rice at CB?
Not sure I get that. Left winger and no right one? No striker?
There's a striker but no right winger. Weird 4-5-1. Expect the full backs to be very defensive.
Diet apparently... Feck knows why, He's so bad at CB.
So it is basically park the bus and attack down the left? Strange since the right side in England is the stronger side.
That’s brilliantSurprised that Foden is only just making his international debut.. feels like he's been in and around the England squad for ages
I wouldn't expect much attacking. I'm guessing he's out left rather than a second striker because Kyle Walker tends to be caught out of position. We got pace available on the left and the player playing left back can kick a mean long ball but we got no pace available on the right and also no right back.
Kolbeinn Sigthorsson our striker injured during warmup. Albert Guðmundsson starts instead
Anyone else find Southgate’s team selections continually underwhelming? Seeing 2 holding midfielders against Iceland is just disappointing. Pickford again? Dier? Urgh.
Hold on, isn't this on ftv TV?
