Israel (16) are actually ranked higher than Ireland (19) in the Uefa Co-efficients, which is what will be used to seed the playoffs.

Ah, didn't know that! Hmmm...

If they could win would be great..draw will do to be getting on with though:)

Good link here for the Russia v Slovakia match if anyones interested

http://www.chabka.es/

Russia just came very close to equalizing, should have scored really.

tolosenc

Is a Slovakia win in Russia not potentially even worse for us?

I think regardless, come the end of the group, Slovakia, Russia and ourselves will be vying for the two slots.

Yes, completely agree.

A Slovakia win gives them a huge advantage in terms of topping the group, a draw is the best outcome imo.

ultain

I think we can beat Slovakia..at least at home anyway. They seem a well organised team, the Russians on the other hand can turn up..be great or just very ordinary.

MisterAnarchy

Slovakia are a huge physical team ,they will be tough to beat.

Bukman13

How the hell have Russia not scored in the 2nd half, they've had some lovely passing in the final 3rd and have gone close a number of times.

Stoch and Hamsik look very dangerous on the counter.

Bouncer's with good feet at the back..they will be very tough to beat indeed.

Serious need for pav in this match

applehunter

Doubt if Slovakia can hold on here.

ultain

looks like the slovaks have this game in the bag....4mins extra

Bukman13

Game over!!!

Ireland v Russia in Oct is huge now.

Slovakia have 6pts and still have 2 games against Andorra and Armenia to play.

Hoki

Some win for Slovakia - dunno if this is good for Ireland. Both of these teams will be very hard to beat , the pace of their attacks could trouble us immensely especially on our left side where we are very weak with Kilbane.

Sktchr

Wow. That puts some serious pressure on Russia very early in the qualification campaign.

Didn't actually see the match? How would Ireland have fared against the Russian team that showed up today and against the Slovakian side that showed up today??

briany

Slovakia have won! That really puts the cat amongst the pigeons.

Next month, next month. But fear not.......




He has been reading your get well posts and wants to tell you he will play next month and he will nonchalantly neutralize the attacking prowess of Arshavin and Stoch.

ultain

well, there really aren't many easy teams in europe anymore...Time we got our act together..we need to perform with the same conviction and purpose against every team that we showed when we played France.

I dunno either...

If Slovakia turn out to be the ones to beat...we could be in real dog-fight with Russia for 2nd

On the other hand, if we beat Russia next month and got good results against Slovakia H&A, and don't mess up in the other matches, we could win the group

But I think it's way too early to say!

Oat23

Sorry if it's already been said. But Dave McKeon from the League of Ireland is reffing Sweden v San Marino tonight, thought I recognised him when they were coming out then his name popped up .

Bukman13

Montenegro 1 up against Bulgaria away.

Great start to their campaign if they can hold on.

Surprised any of our refs are deemed good enough for internationals...

Oat23

Why do San Marino even bother putting out a team? It's embarrassing getting hammered every game.

2-0 Sweden after 11 mins, San Marino have only had the ball twice which was at the kickoffs.

They keep trying and hope that someday they will play a side managed by Staunton again!!
Do you not remember what happened only 3 years ago!!

Scotland's group looks interesting. With Spain and Liechtenstein both in a 5 team group its basically a 3 team round robin for the playoff spot.

Of course I remember...

Great atmosphere in Switzerland!

Pepe LeFrits

Anyone have any decent streams for the England or France games?

Stevecw

McKeon has just given Melberg a straight red. He did lunge in, but got a lot of the ball. Hard one to call, but can see that costing Sweden next month in important games.

Bukman13

Macedonia 1-1 Armenia

Almost HT

Stevecw

Armenia 1-0 away to Macedonia after 40 mins. Makes our result better

Oh edit: Macedonia scored in 42nd min 1-1 now
