    I'm know! :( I think they should have fired Aragones after the WC, I don't know why they wanted to keep him. It's sad to see a talented team not being able to perform properly.


    And England drew with Macedonia. They missed so many chances!

    Sweden 2 Spain 0. :(

    The thing about Spain's manager,Luis Aragonés,is that if he's fired they have to pay him 2 years contract but if he resigns they don't have to pay him anything,that's why he refuses to resign:money.

    BRAVO ELLADA & CYPRUS!!

    The Greece match was so frigging exiciting & suspensful, especially towards the end when Norway began to dominate. I can't believe the ball hit the crossbar towards the end as it was thisclose to going in. However, Konstantions Katsouranis goal in the 33rd minute was all we needed :D. Next up is Bosnia on the 11th!

    7:0. Loving the score.
    The game was OK, I guess, not a lot of excitement. More on the stands than on the field.
    But, it was a good practice game before England.

    I just hope that my team won't feel to confident since England drew a tie against Macedonia. However, that is what will most likely happen.

    Again, I will be there, on the stands, hoping that my team can play as good as they are able to.

    :eek: You guys dominated in the second half. I almost had a heart attack everytime you were in our area & you guys had tons of scoring chances as well. Our defence was pretty weak & all we could do is kick the ball out the sidelines instead of passing it up to create a scoring chance. Seriously, Greece needs to start scoring more then one goal a match.

    One goal is all you need ;) We have trouble scoring too. That's why it's so boring to watch our national team play :(

    I'm surprised England could only manage a draw with Macedonia, *sigh*. Oh well...congrats to Scotland on their victory over France :)

    Is anyone thinking 'bring back David Beckham' yet? ;)

    At least England didn't lose, although it does leave me doubting whether they will be able to beat Croatia (they're not a bad team).

    Steve McClaren is from York, which is my neck of the woods, so I really want him to do well! *c'mon Steve, you can do it!* :)

    Yes, congrats Scotland, and never mind Wales.

    Oh come on Finland! They'd so need to win these games so they'd have at least some hope :( It was a miracle to play tie with Portugal and now you play some bloody ties with these countries :(

    *cant wait to see the game*
