Welcome into the latest decision of ESPNFC Craig Burley, Stevie Nichol and VK Murray here

with a lot to talk about when it comes to Euro qualifying. We'll be delving a little

0:13.8

deeper on Liverpool later in the show as well, but let's start with the game between

0:17.9

Spain and Scotland in Seville. It finished 2-0, 2 Spain with goals from Marata and

0:23.0

Sunset, but before that, Scott McTominay had scored. It was a goal that was somewhat
