Euro Qualifiers General Thread Sept 3rd to 8th

Harry Palmr · 03-09-2015 10:29am #1

Tonight some big games some small games but mainly its about the first of two games that can secure Wales (ninth best best in the FIFA rankings) its first place in a major finals since 1958 and as that World Cup qualification was luck as much as football its really the first at all. Group favourites Belgium still have it all to do.

The Dutch will be looking to avoid an expensive embarrassment against table topping plucky Iceland, Italy likewise v Malta esp with their head to head v Bulgaria the next game.

That is because Sky have them all apart from England games and 1 other game per round all to do with UEFA new central contract, will be the same for World Cup Qualification

Lovely Bloke · 03-09-2015 3:37pm

So what games are on Sky tonight then?

Northern Ireland need to beat the Faroes and get something from Hungary. Also if Romania beat Hungary they are looking good to qualify.

ctrl-alt-delete · 03-09-2015 8:16pm

Wales have a goal ruled out, seemingly for a push.

Looked very harsh to me.

LuckyGent88 · 03-09-2015 8:22pm

Netherlands down to 10. Martins Indi sent off. Very very harsh.

Such an embarrassment that it was a red card.

GLaDOS · 03-09-2015 8:55pm

Iceland just awarded a peno...

And it's in, just about.

Group A gets very interesting if results stay that same

Czech rep loosing to Kazakhstan
Holland loosing to Iceland
Turkey drawing with Latvia

GLaDOS · 03-09-2015 9:17pm

Eider Gudjohnsen off the bench for Iceland

The Backwards Man · 03-09-2015 9:20pm

Czech Republic equalised.

Been really impressed with Iceland in the whole campaign, it's no fluke, they've been playing well in every game.

Luckycharms_74 · 03-09-2015 9:23pm

Turkey winning as well

Bret Hart · 03-09-2015 9:29pm

Bale for Wales 1-0 with about 10 minutes to go.

callaway92 · 03-09-2015 9:29pm

Had to be Bale that scored.

Well done Wales.

Hammer Archer · 03-09-2015 9:30pm

As far as I can see, if things stay as they are Iceland will qualify with two games to spare if they beat Kazakhstan at home on Sunday.
Netherlands are in deep trouble. If they lose away to Turkey on Sunday they'll be four points off a playoff with 2 games remaining.

That looks to me like the dutch played 5 attackers and 1 midfielder which is pretty nuts, robben went off injured after a half hour.

Luckycharms_74 · 03-09-2015 9:39pm

Netherlands 1st home defeat in qualifying since 2000 (Portugal) and 37 games played winning 33

With Iceland on 18 pts and Czech late winner putting them on 16 pts the Dutch are in big trouble on 10 pts

Johner · 03-09-2015 9:41pm

Brilliant stuff from Iceland. 15 goals scored and only 3 conceded, fair play to them they are almost there.

Bret Hart · 03-09-2015 9:42pm

Finishes 1-0 to the Welsh,there almost there. Win on Sunday and that's it.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 03-09-2015 9:51pm

Italy scrapping past Malta in Group H. Bad draw for Croatia as well but both should finish in the top 2 anyway

They should. Even a draw for them is an ok result. Their last game is at home to Andorra

Shanotheslayer · 03-09-2015 10:04pm

Loving the Wales Hype TBH, think it's brilliant. Hope they do well in Euros, assuming they qualify.

ebbsy · 04-09-2015 11:32am

Iceland and Wales show that with a bit of organisation and spirit you can go places. you do not need to be paying managers millions either.

Mushy · 04-09-2015 11:42am

Will the Scotland Georgia game be on radio at all? In work till 6.30, have TuneIn. Would hope a BBC station has it.

Georgians just went 3v1 clean through in the 2nd minute............completely wasted it. :mad:

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-09-2015 5:22pm

Georgia look pretty dodgy at the back. I can't see them holding out.

briany · 04-09-2015 5:26pm

Georgia look like a deer in headlights when it comes to finding themselves in an attacking position. Scotland don't look amazing going, so far, either but it's hard not to see them nicking a goal somehow.
