Today's Football 2014/15

bloody typical of wales, picked about 10 of long odds draws that seemed reasonably realistic and none came in, yet ones like estonia v san marino, belgium v wales and bulgaria v malta did come through

 

[ilikecheese]

Think Croatia could have won that if there hadn't been the crowd trouble.

Perhaps...Perisic should have buried that chance regardless

 

[LinekersLegs]

right so i won my bet because of that draw, that can't be changed now, surely?

No idea tbh but guess not as the ref allowed the game to finish.

More bad news for Van Gaal, Daley Blind suffers knee ligament damage in Holland game

From a Scotland perspective, hopefully Darren Fletcher will get more game time!

 

[LinekersLegs]

Iceland's goal reminded me of the Jelavic/Naismith goal vs Chelsea last season.

great result for wales though overall, unbeaten after 4 games, with the toughest one out of the way and 4 points from 2 away games is a good start. but this is a really tough group. it will eventually click for bosnia you would imagine as they're a top team. Belgium will of course take one of the top 2 places, but isreal have started like a house on fire and travelling there will be tough, would of course take another draw. seeing cyprus win 5-0 shows that going there won't be too easy either.

group has shaped up brilliantly and tbh, i can't see us winning a competitive game for another 9 or 10 months, if not longer.

Bosnia might click- and they were missing 3 of their top players vs Israel, but they're sitting in must win territory now. So if one or two results don't go as planned they're out. Their coach is inept as anything.

All of the home nations are in good positions at the moment, would be unreal if all 5 qualified! I can't imagine that's ever happened

can't see scotland and ireland both finishing above either germany or poland. we'll just stick to GB and see if scotland can go through

 

[toffeejack]

can somebody please explain to me the purpose of these upcoming friendlies? surely you have the friendlies before the competitive games if anything?

Yeah that's a tricky one! Poland are in a great position, Germany not so much but you would still fancy them to do enough to qualify! Scotland are in a great position at the moment, we've had arguably our 2 toughest games (away to Germany and Poland) and we are the only team that hasn't played Gibraltar yet!

I imagine both the Scottish and English FA's didn't fancy having the two sides kick lumps out of each other prior to qualifying matches

And i wonder how many players outside the SKY 4 will play tonight and run the risk of injury?

Sadly this is true.
