Given that we lost to Scotland, we've hit a bit of a speed bump in a qualification campaign for Euro 2016 that otherwise had the momentum of a runaway freight train, but that's no reason to suggest we might not qualify.
Obviously, we could have done with those points, but if we do pull it out of the bag and manage to make it to the competition in France in 2016, we can expect to be greeted by the mascot of the tournament that was unveiled today by UEFA.
They've broken from the recent trend by making him human instead of being based on an animal (the last good human mascot being Argentina's gauchito in the 1978 World Cup), which is a brave decision, but a nice retro reference for all the football hipsters out there.
Honestly, we're more of a fan of the anthropomorphic ones though, such as Footix from France's last major tournament.
