The Euro 2016 qualifiers thread

[mnb089mnb]

Top scorers so far...

Look at the players on 5 goals.

Ibra, Ronaldo, Rooney, Muller, Bale, Lafferty...

Hopefully without the racism or superiority complex.

When was the last time England scored a goal as good as Wilshere's second?

Thought Sterling and Wilshere were the two best players on the pitch. Sterling wasn't getting the final ball/shot quite right but his touch and class is obvious. Whatever Liverpool get from City for him won't be enough.

Delph was pretty good too.

Rooneys 2nd against the jocks last year was a cracking move.

Look at the players on 5 goals.

Ibra, Ronaldo, Rooney, Muller, Bale, Lafferty...

And all of them behind Danny Welbeck

Here's an article I wrote highlighting the poor timing of the latest qualifiers/friendlies (mid-June!) and how no nation really stands out to win Euro 2016 with a year to go.

 

[Libertadores FC]

1-0 win to Italy tomorrow. They never hammer anybody at least not while Conte is here.

Nice to see Insigne back in the squad though.

 

[Benji]

I hope you're all supporting Wales tonight now that we are the number one representatives of the United Kingdom.

Watching Holland vs Iceland. Ref just sent off Martins-Indi who was Holland's best player (which says a lot about Sneijder and co). Terrible decision. Iceland are playing well.

Fifa Rankings are joke ... I've just watched the first half , Wales are a 2 man team and one of them is letting them down now

 

[Libertadores FC]

Abysmal first half from Italy. Malta should be winning this.

I don't see a two man team. I don't even see an eleven man team.

I see one, single unit. #TogetherStronger

You need to turn these D2303 thangs off!

 

[GodsGift]

Iceland 1-0 up against Holland, Gylfi with a pen. Could get quite interesting if Turkey beat Latvia.

 

[Super_horns]

Wales not having it thier own way but Bale has scored again!

Looking really good for Iceland leading the Netherlands and the Czechs are also in front.

 

[Modernist]

Wales almost qualified, amazing achievement given their group.

 

[Master D]

Keep it tight at the back and Bale will win the match for us up front has been the story of the whole campaign. We know he is everything to us and we'd never get anywhere near without him but who cares! We are 99% there at a tournament, can't believe it.

 

[Libertadores FC]

Appalling match from Italy. Malta should have scored in the first and no one created any dangerous chances other than Candreva in the second.

 

[mnb089mnb]

Bale and Ramsey a two man team?

Conceded two goals in seven qualifiers. Good centre half pairing.

 

[Modernist]

England are crying out for a player like Bale.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Williams should have had more faith in himself, he could have been in the England squad right now

 

[Abertawe]

Well done lads.

I still can't work out why Dave Edwards' headed goal in the first half was disallowed.
Still how it ended up means that the story that has already been written of a possessed Gareth Bale single-handedly driving Wales to their first tournament finals for almost 60 years still rings true.

 

[Super_horns]

Saw this on another site which proves how most of the groups have been so unpredictable:

The pots that each of the teams were drawn from, in their current order in the group:

Group A: Iceland (5), Czech Republic (2), Netherlands (1), Turkey (3), Latvia (4), Kazakhstan (6)
Group B: Wales (4), Belgium (2), Israel (3), Cyprus (5), Bosnia (1), Andorra (6)
Group C: Slovakia (3), Spain (1), Ukraine (2), Belarus (4), Macedonia (5), Luxembourg (6)
Group D: Poland (3), Germany (1), Scotland (4), Republic of Ireland (2), Georgia (5), Gibraltar (6)
Group E: England (1), Switzerland (2), Slovenia (3), Estonia (4), Lithuania (5), San Marino (6)
Group F: Romania (3), Northern Ireland (5), Hungary (2), Faroe Islands (6), Finland (4), Greece (1!)
Group G: Austria (3), Sweden (2), Russia (1), Montenegro (4), Liechtenstein (6), Moldova (5)
Group H: Italy (1), Croatia (2), Norway (3), Bulgaria (4), Azerbaijan (5), Malta (6)
Group I: Portugal (1), Denmark (2), Albania (5), Armenia (4), Serbia (3)

1 - 0 down to Georgia, good old Scotland, we always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when there is half a chance of qualification. I must be a masochist to support Dundee, Liverpool and Scotland!

 

[Modernist]

Really tough to go there and get a result, I thought a draw would be the best result scotland could get. Still plenty of time.

 

[SALTIRE]

Not a shot on target all game. Its looking pretty grim with 30 mins remaining.

 

[Madejski]

Good chance of Wales being in the top 5 in the rankings next month.

Reading could have two players who start for a top 5 nation in the World!

 

[Abertawe]

Not being able to at least draw against Georgia is pathetic.

 

[mente captus]

if Wales beats Israel and Germany is winning 'only' 4 points vs Poland and Scotland. Wales will be avove Germany in the next ranking
