Sweden has done what many predicted to be impossible and drew Italy 0-0 at the San Siro, meaning that after Sweden’s 1-0 win in the first leg in Stockholm, Sweden is through to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Pontus Jansson's magic,
He wears a magic hat,
And if you throw a brick at him
He'll head the f****r back....
He'll head it to the left
He'll head it to the right
And when we win the Championship...
We'll sing this song all night!
Pontus is off to Russia
Here’s hoping that Eunan O’Kane and the Republic of Ireland can get past Denmark later today.
On to the links.
