I think it is more up to Israel to defend English place in Euro then Macedonia's place to do the same.

We can win today, but Russia got a really though game in Tel Aviv.
:wink:

Macedonia? We're talking about Euro 2008 right? Then the qualifying teams would be Russia and Croatia

If macedonia wins and england beats us (croatia) and russia wins against israel and andorra then croatia isn't going to Euro (Russia and England do).

So I think that all of england is praying for option A (Israel wins or draw in Tel Aviv) and/or option B (Macedonia beats us in Skoplje, England wins on Wembley). :shock:
So England still has a shot, but... :wink:

What?
Russia is playing Israel and Andorra. If it wins both times it will go through
Croatia is playing one game agaisnt England. Macedonia has only a game against Estonia. I think

A very slim shot. When you have to depend on other games to work out to your favour to qualify it's very slim

I don't think you understood what I'm trying to say: Macedonia is out, so is Israel.
England can only go to Euro if a terrible tragedy happens:
A) and Russia don't do well in Israel or Andorra (yeah, in Andorra :lol:)
B) And Croatia looses in Skoplje and London :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Edit: Now i saw your previous post. Yes, it's a really slim shot. :roll:

its so sad that we are having to hope for other teams to get results. too many damn foreigners in the premier league i think is the official line on why we are struggling. i prefer to think we just played pretty shite in our matches........

I dunno....England always seem to get the luck when they need it. One of the flukiest teams in the world.

In a way, I hope russia win today, thus knocking us out. We are a crock of shite at the moment, and dont deserve qualification. This will lead to homocidal maniacs like myself bombing croatian fans' buses on their trip to London.

It's looks like circus arrived in Skoplje! It's looks more like mud wrestling than football. And when they kick the ball it goes just a couple of meters and then it's stuck in water or mud on the field... :(

Well done to the slav-rats for qualification.

If the euro-championships are anything like last time, we will beat you easily again :lol:

macedonia-croatia 2-0

I don't want to comment this game because I'm drinking beer to dry my sorrow of this game, but I'm also celebrating the fact that we are going to Euro. :idea:

please, we all saw that game a couple of months ago.
I don't know how the game in London will go, but I'm looking forward the soft grass of Wembley so our players can really play football - and not playing "kick something round and muddy through the mud" (like in Skoplje) :roll:

Well it's our first defeat in almost 2 years... It must happen sometimes... :roll:
