And the thing is, Andorran's are probably going crazy - this will be their biggest match of the campaign and I bet they can't wait for it. It's a chance for the fans to watch England, and the players to play against some of the biggest names in the world.

Although I'm not sure why the fans care so much, it's only England

They're probably thinking it's their chance to get the upset against England, even by holding them to a draw. Not all smaller nations just bow down whenever England roll into town.

One day...Andorra will win a game

Yep, some day in 23rd century.

[The Future]

So the team news is in

Theo Walcott and Downing will be on the flanks, Rooney and Defoe as expected up front while Glen Johnson and Lescott are playing in defense with Terry and Cole, Lampard and Barry in the centre of midfield.

England to struggle but come out with a 3-0 win again is my prediction.

Canada/Honduras tonight at 7 EST on Rogers Sportsnet.

Team news? The game kicked off 30 minutes ago and it's 0-0.

They surely can't do any worse than Scotland anyway.

*ahem*yes ignore that post bad bad mistake from me

We had a shit load of injuries. If England lost that many players they'd be getting hammered by Andorra.

[The Third Dukes]

1-0 win on the road! UP YOURS, CASTRO!

Ahem. Six points out of six and doing fine. Nothing else to see here.

[Baddar]

Wales are going all the way to South Africa. Amazing performance yesterday. You don't need to watch the match, just take my word for it.

Andorra don't hammer anyone. They just sit in their own half for 90 minutes.

Shit, at least you won your match. I'd take a crap performance and getting 3 points, we gave a crap performance and got heatstroke. And on Wednesday we'll give a crap performance and get frostbite.

So there were no surprises after all.

Spain bt Bosnia 1-0

Portugal bt Malta 4-0

Germany bt Liechtechtain 6-0

England bt Andorra 2-0

Austria bt France 3-1 (no surprise )

Italy bt Cyprus 2-1

[IAceI]

I wish we were more like the Krauts sometimes, especially in qualifying

[The Future]

France were shocking against Austria, Mexes pretty much gored their player for the third goal.

[The Quasi Juice]

Seriously, we need a " Lithuania for WC " bandwagon.

[Clawson]

Yeah, we blew it again.

WEDNESDAY'S WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS

Russia v Wales 1600 BST

Montenegro v Republic of Ireland 1800 BST

Iceland v Scotland 1930 BST

Northern Ireland v Czech Republic 1945 BST

Croatia v England 2000 BST

I only see Ireland maybe getting a result today, and maaaaaybe Northern Ireland pulling off an upset,

[Liam]

Maybe I missed something, but aren't Montenegro basically the rejected Serbia players? When they split, most of the players who went with Serbia made up the bulk of the Serbia and Montenegro team, so I don't get why people think Ireland won't win. Away from home, it may be hard, but they are a better side through and through.

[FireDoughnut]

Upset? We're at home... we're the favourites!
