Euro 2008

[wozzi]

Hmm, Macedonia are beating Croatia 1-0 with not long to go. Having looked at the table I think that mean's we can still finish top, we would need to win by about 3 goals though vs Croatia.

[Stevie B]

I love Israel

[Dan]

GOAL Macedonia 2-0 Croatia

Wow.

[Adam]

Christ.

I really hope Croatia win on Wednesday now, it'd be hilarious.

[FireDoughnut]

Come on David Healy! How I love him so!!!

[Dan]

You want us to go out?

And Norn Iron 2-1

Woot.

[Triple X]

So explain to me something, now England only have to draw against Coratia on Wednesday, correct? What happens to Russia who do they now need to beat to get through or are they through already?

On a seperate note, I knew Israel could do it, just shows what a shame it was that we didn't make it through this time, no worries there's always 2012.

Russia can qualify if England lose to Croatia.

[FireDoughnut]

Of course, that is assuming Russia beat Andorra.

Russia coach Guus Hiddink on the defeat in Israel

Well done NI.

I'm watching the Ireland game on BBC Northern Ireland.

Those two must be the funniest commentator I've ever heard.

[FireDoughnut]

Jackie Fullerton is a bit of an instiution when it comes to commentary. He tries his best, but really there is no pressure on him to get better so he has just got progressively worse and it is nicely biased. Although they call it like football fans. It's not like they are broadcasting, but sitting there over a pint watching ther mighty Norn Iron cause my heart to stop beating numerous times. The conditions in Belfast didn't help matters as the commentary booth is a bit like a tin shed, so things were going to be hard.

John O'Neill is not a patch on Gerry Armstrong for punditry. If you put Gerry beside Jackie, the jokes simply fly out. They are brilliant. They spent 60 minutes last year discussing Fernando Torres. Seriously. 60 whole minutes.

Now England have been given this lifeline, what's the betting we draw with Croatia and Russia go and beat Andorra, like, 10-0?

[Whisper]

It wouldn't matter. It's on head to head so we only need a draw.

[Dan]

So it looks like Scotlands 2-0 defeat to Georgia when the 17-year-old's ran riot cost them in the end.

[The Third Dukes]

Geez, Croatia doesn't care what the result is and England only needs a draw to qualify. I sense a very boring match.

[FireDoughnut]

Were you expecting anything else regardless?

I really think England needs to fail to qualify for Euro 2008 so that they can get their act together in this country.

[Sick N Twisted]

well I am sad that Scotland are out, but they worked hard, so well done. I wanna see England outta it, I hate them so much, most overrated international squad IMO, and yay Spain, 3 - 0, well done

Spain

[therockbox]

So you hate England because we're overrated, but like Spain?

lol, well done you mug.

So you're from Liverpool. Aren't you English? Surely not if you "hate them so much".
