The first games of European World Cup Qualifying are over. Here’s how the Burnleys did:
Nick Pope
Clean sheet for England against San Marino, indicating San Marino:England::EPL Bottom Half:Burnley.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell
Allowed two goals to Italy while in the net for Northern Ireland, indicating Italy:Northern Ireland::Non-Man City EPL Top Half:Burnley.
Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson
Didn’t get in for Iceland against Germany. Iceland lost. Just saying.
Matěj Vydra
Did get in for the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic won. Just saying.
Robbie Brady
Subbed in for Ireland against Serbia. Does not sound to have made much of a difference (could’ve been worse, then). Ireland lost.
Kevin Long
Left off the Ireland squad for the Serbia match. Injured.
