I'm scared about Spain's match against Sweden tonight.
There's a bad atmosphere in the team:the manager,Luis Aragonés,hasn't resigned yet,for the first time in 10 years Raúl wasn't called,Reyes was injured and Joaquín said that the team was a chaos...
After losing against Northern Ireland we have to win against Sweden but I think we're gonna lose and we aren't gonna do it to the Eurocup... :(

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.
 
1-1 against Bulgary, I think :p didn't watch the whole game.

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.

Boohooo, we lost to Greece! God damn! :(

: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.
 
why does steve mclaren play stewart downing and whats up with lampard and rooney.
bless the rep. of ireland- come on boys, win your next one.
well done northern ireland and scotland-very impressive, hopefully England can learn from them

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.
 
i think beckham should come back
i hope in a way he does do it but as he's ex boro manager i'm a bit biased- i know sad lol
hopefully he's tactics'll be good tonight- no downing play parker/swp instead

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*
