International matches Wednesday 12/09/07

Norway - Greece 1:2

Frankfurt defender Kyrgiakos scores another goal for Greece against Norway. Greece leading 2:1 now.

2 goals for a defender, not bad really. An important match, too.

Cyprus - San Marino 2:0

Clearly the clash of the titans.

San Marino have scored one goal in this group, conceded over 40. I don't remember who they scored against. Whoever it was, they should just stop playing football.

Borat will be proud. Wonder if the Dutchies still want to merge with them...

Nah, because when none of them make it into Oranje they'll be crying about discrimination.

THeir current crop was even worse than the poor Germans.

THe young ones (trained under Van Gaal) are all quality. They can fight to a Croatia level of resistance in the future. But boy were they dire.

Slovakia - Wales 2:3

I am mate. I expected him to score in the second half.

Its only Andorra but his International record is very good. I think that is his ninth so far this campaign. Only Healy beats him.

Mintal scores another one, making it 2:3 against Wales.

FT
Finland - Poland 0:0

I guess, it's too little too qualify for Finland, but too much to give up hope. If they hadn't lost 5 points against Armenia and Azerbaijan they would have had a good chance.

Slovenia - Belarus 1:0

FT
Andorra - Croatia 0:6

Points dropped for Poland, but Finland at home always park the bus, so you need extra quality to create something then or be effoient with set pieces.

Poland are a steaming pile of shite, so if Don Leo manages to get them to the EC he'll have done one hell of a job.

I'll be back in a while for the test match against Romania. Don't expect us to win it with most of our first teamers rested / injured, while Romania supposedly will play a strong team, but the result won't matter anyway, as long as the third choice players play some good football, and increase the pressure on the current squad members. Should be an interesting match regardless.

Goal difference in favour of Croatia so far.

Excuses Blut!!!

Don't flatter yourself.
Romania are on track to qualify from the our group, so don't think that they'll play all of their first teamers.
Plenty will be rested - if they C0ck up, Bulgaria will take the second place.

Yeah, right.

It's a test match, and we actually use them for testing. Should give it a try also.

They won't play a qualification match for a month, just like us. I was just quoting gone, who said that they are going to play a strong team. The press said the same.

But whoever plays, it should be an interesting match.

Germans and playing friendlies....There is no such word as friendly in the German languese

It is, when you basically rest most of your first teamers. It's a test match, just like the one against Denmark earlier this year, when Löw tried out a couple of new youngsters.

Helmes will start in the attack, for example. Helmes plays in the 2. Bundesliga currently. You get the deal.

"Sure" Blut...now go watch the match..Im sure its Live im ersten!! Hurry though otherwise you miss das Deutschlandlied

Haha...I have to do some training first. Enough couch potato-ing. Will watch ARD doing so, and be back here in 1/2 hour.

so you're saying there's a lack of depth in german talent and having to resort to using lower league players, right?
