England 4 Austria 2

Get tae fuck Jim.

We are getting better. Toshack is a fool. Healy is GOD. End of.

[Jamie]

Provided England display a solid performance, and make no stupid mistakes, they really should have no problems beating Austria. Scotland definitely will beat Belarus, maybe even 3 or 4 nil if they play really well.

Ireland should beat Cyprus provided the strike force are on good form, that's what got us against France, we just weren't finishing our chances. As long as Gary Doherty stays on the bench and the Cypriuts don't get any sneaky goals against us, I'll go 2-0 to Ireland. Not sure about N.Ireland v Wales, the Northern Irish will definitely be confident after the match against England, but Wales are a good side. I'll say 1-1 for that one.

Hoping for a draw between Switzerland and France, provided that happens, and we beat Cyprus, we'll go only one point behind them in our group, a result we desparately need, if we are to qualify.

[Izzy]

Lol - would have said 1-0 to England and a shaky performance - and i would have been right

Can't believe u lot still have any faith in England with Sven at the helm.

[MadmanDan]

Holland's win over the Czech Republic made England qualify, no matter the result on wednsday, and it gave my Romania hope!

And Beckham's sending off was completley ridicoulous!

[Jamie]

YYYEEESSSS!! Ireland 1-0 Cyprus, France 1-1 Switzerland. It's lookin good for us

[2NaFish]

scotland were shit. back to business as usual then.

[Tj]

Scotland definitely will beat Belarus, maybe even 3 or 4 nil if they play really well.

Yeah   

That's a shame. It's a shame England, N.Ireland and Wales were in the same damn group too! Were FIFA deliberately trying to limit the amount of teams from Britain that got into the World Cup?!

[Shoco]

well im just home from cyprus, was over at the match, the atmosphere was great but whata terrible performance by us, if we play like that tomorrow night the swiss will be laughing

[Chris Misfit]

Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales. Sorry there.

Anyway, we didn't deserve to get beat on saturday. But fuck it, it was still more entertaining than the way we ewre playing before Sanchez.

England? What can I say, you should be beating Austria 5 nil. Get a new manager.

Good luck to the southerners tomorrow, the world cup without the green wouldnt be worth watching.

[Izzy]

England tonight

I predict 1-0 England and a truly awful, awful match

I, as ever, won't be watcing, and this will remain so untill Sven is gone. 90 mins of pub football is something i can easily do without. As a Liverpool fan i see enough awful football a week as it is.....

[Danny Top Hat]

2-1 and a good performance.  Still not great though.

Looks like Sven is definately staying on for the World Cup.  It's not all bad - we have a brilliant team who have been playing together for a while and we finished top of our group.  We'll win the World Cup, I swear it.

[2NaFish]

thats as well as i've seen england play in years. still gonna need to improve if you hope to do anything in germany.

Scotland weren't all that great either; some cracking goals tho and a fine scoreline.

[Jamie]

Ireland are gone.  I must say though, all credit to the lads they played their hearts out against the Swiss, and even from a neutral point of view got very few desicions our way. Now I have to choose who to shout for for the World Cup since, the N. Irish and the Scots are gone too.

[Evolution]

Fletcher's strike was a beast

[Chris Misfit]

Y'know what I forgot to moan about was the Crouch booing thing. That was really uncalled for.

Obviously, not all england fans are tits, but if you boo a gut who fucking just wants to play, and do his best for his country, theres something wrong with you.

Misfit rant over.

...but he's terrible....he's really, really, really bad. I think they were booing his sheer incompetance.

..and where's his goals for Liverpool?

[Chris Misfit]

Where's anyones goals for Liverpool?

[Izzy]

Where's anyones goals for Liverpool?

With Crouch and Cisse as the strike force there's really little hope
