Greece in last place in their group, even behind the Faroe islands. 4 games, no wins, 3 losses

i dont know whats going on with them, just looking at the table

or is it England undefeated thru 5 games with a +14 GD?

England has more attacking talent than they've had in a long time. They're actually a pretty fun team to watch these days.

I'd say Slovakia having the best start of anyone considering their 15 points include 3 against Spain already in pocket.



Also:

1 Israel
2 Wales
3 Cyprus
4 Belgium
5 Bosnia

looks a bit odd even if they've only played 3-4 matches.

That'll change soon. Coaching changes and just getting shite together will shake that group up. But Israel finishing lower than second would be a surprise. fricking Zionist assholes.

And they were pretty fun to watch at the World Cup. I didn't say they were great, just fun to watch. Rooney, Sterling, Sturridge, Walcott, Welbeck, Ox. Fun players to watch.

The Netherlands doing so poor? Germany behind Poland and tied with Scotland in their group?

I follow Ireland real closely and they're in real danger of not making the Euros because Scotland and Poland are on fire right now. Usually if Ireland drew Germany in qualifying, it'd be a famous moment and it would essentially coincide with easy qualification. Not this time.

Greece has 1 goal in 5 games. Not really a surprise though.

They need to improve on falling down and letting more minutes go off the clock and then somehow manage to be in the right place at the right time to win 1-0, like their most successful teams have done

That Ireland v Scotland game in June is going to be huge. Scotland won the first meeting.

I am very intrigued in that, for obvious reasons. I like Scotland better, but we have 3-4 starters in the Ireland first team. I love watching Naisy for the Scots though. It seems like he scores in every match

Yeah, Ireland vs. Scotland in June essentially determines who qualifies--failing something very odd.

Scotland won the first one, but I favor Ireland in the 2nd meeting. A draw would make it very tough on both teams.
