I think we finally have a realistic chance of qualifying. Having said that, we'll more than likely **** it up as a result of a hammering by San Marion Looking forward to the Czechs coming to Belfast for a good beating!!!

We need to play to our strengths. Commit 100% to absolutely every ball. Take any chance (Healy) that comes our way. If we show the passion and committiment that we showed against Spain for example then we can progress. It will be tough, and probably bitterly disappointing once again, but i cant wait!

I think these teams will go through

Group 1 Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Albania, Malta
Group 2 Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Moldova, Latvia, Luxembourg
Group 3 Czech Republic, Poland, NORTHERN IRELAND, Slovakia, Slovenia, San Marino
Group 4 Germany, Russia, Finland, WALES, Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein
Group 5 Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Armenia, Estonia
Group 6 Croatia, ENGLAND, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra
Group 7 France, Romania, Serbia, Lithuania, Austria, Faroe Islands
Group 8 Italy, Bulgaria, Republic of Ireland, Cyprus, Georgia, Montenegro
Group 9 Holland, SCOTLAND, Norway, FYR Macedonia, Iceland

To be honest, if Denmark, Belgium, Ukraine, Serbia, Bulgaria, Scotland, Norway are in different groups, they would have easier chance to qualify. Group 9 and 2 is beyond easy for the top team

Can`t wait for our opener against the Spanish, Cesc against Pjanic. We have got nothing to lose in a match like this, plus Ciro Blazevic is an old tactician who knows a thing or two about international football, when he was the Croatian manager he won 2-0 against Spain, lets hope history repeats itself . Was thinking about travelling to Murcia for this one, but something came up :| .

 

[clockwork orange]

Judging by the last training session, this is the way Van Marwijk's Holland will play v Australia & Macedonia:

--------------Stekelenburg--------------
Heitinga----Ooijer---Mathijsen-------Gio
---------van Bommel------De Jong--------
RVP---------------VDV-------------Robben
--------------Huntelaar-----------------

Not looking forward to it at all, because I hate van Bommel. Apart from that he's overrated & a nutter, so liability. Also don't expect good matches because of the way the next two opponents will play.

Not a great start to the Scottish campaign. Conceding a goal within the first five minutes!

 

[Mostarac]

Looks like Scotland have under-rated Macedonia, you can`t do that against a team who drew England in Manchester and won against Croatia.

You can´t believe you can beat us, can you? :angel

 

[Kain]

Watched the Wales game on TV and they were abysmal they scraped past Azerbaijan 1-0 the Spud Bale was really the only player to turn up.

unlucky to the Scots though they should probably not let it get them to down, Andy Murray is destoying Nadal at the opening stages in the tennis lol

 

[GaelForce22]

Here's hoping for the perfect starting debut for Theo in an England shirt. It couldn't really be any easier, playing against a team consisting of butchers, bakers and candlestick makers but with this England team you can never be sure of a win.

England team :
James
Johnson
Lescott
Terry
A Cole
Walcott
Lampard
Barry
Downing
Rooney
Defoe

 

[Macho]

Walcott is starting!!

Wow, its weird having an Arsenal player in the England starting 11.

More of a reason to watch England, I hope he has a great debut.

The Denmark Game is boring, too many bad tackles, Bendtner almost scored [hit the post]

 

[thegame24]

Is there any international game that isnt boring anymore?

I swear international footie hasnt been the same since 98

 

[raidersoftheark]

AUT 2 FRA 0

My god, what is Domenech doing to that team. I used to love watching the French play back in their pomp.

 

[Tony Montana]

Did you not watch Euro 2008?

 

[DC Gunner]

OMG, What happened to the Scots !!!?

Gallas scored an own goal.

 

[raidersoftheark]

Gallas scored an own goal.

According to FIFA, it was Mexes and not Gallas who scored the own goal.
