International matches Wednesday 12/09/07

Slovakia - Wales 2:5

Denmark - Liechtenstein 3:0

Ahh, Alan Hansen managed to find his razor.

I know we've whinged about this before, but the BBC really need to get some new pundits. These guys are all numpties.

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

I have no clue what's he's trying to say. Eiether something about experimenting or 'testing' and the fact that they need to pillage the second division for squad players.

Must be that endless conveyor belt.

Who's worse? Hansen, Wright or Shearer?

Definitely Shearer. He thought defensive midfielders were only invented about 5 years ago.

What a great start.

B team or not, you simply can't make mistakes in the defence like that. Romania leading 1:0 after a set piece.

What are the predictions for the England game? Do people think we will win? I think we might just sneak it, but it will probably be a close game. I'll go for 1-0

I had a free ticket for this game but had to turn it down.

You turned the ticket down so you could post on EMB?

2-1 unconvincing win. W-Philips and Owen the scorers.

A Glorious 2-1 defeat

Course not! Even I'm not that stupid. I have to hand in my dissertation tomorrow, and at the time of the offer (yesterday morning) I still had quite a bit still to do. I've virtually finished it now, but I couldn't afford to risk taking the time off unfortunately.

FT
Norway - Greece 2:2

Cyprus - San Marino 3:0

Lithuania - Faroe Islands 2:1

Jansen almost scores. Pretty close.

Chivu injured and benched. Bluenine won't like that.

Good attack from the Russians, Ferdinand got beat too easily.

OWEN!!!

Goal for Owen! Great ball in from Barry, well finished by Owen.

Time to sit back and defend the lead.

Told you so.

Told me what? I was right, they played their strong team, while we rest most of our starters.

Owen looks back to his best & Barry again has been very impressive.

Schneider (out of all players... ) scores after a great cross by Schweinsteiger. 1:1

Barry is the garbage man, cleaning up everyone else's messes.

Schneider with a header

I think Russia have been very poor so far. No discipline, no formation, toothless, poor passing, no build up, losing the ball too quick, $h!t defending and very poor keeper.
THey can't even park the bus.

England have been lucky there - it was a handball but a very harsh one: it wasn't intentional and his hands were against his side. Very harsh and very fortunate for England.

Some great passing move by us, should have made more out of it.

Germany vs. Romania 1:1 HT


Our defence / defensive midfield in particular had a bad match so far, and looked vulnerable. But we created quite a few chances at least.

Italys match is painful to watch

Riley is a useless piece of $h!t
