Giorgian wonderkid scores

First England lost to a superior Russian team, and now Scotland are losing to Georgia! No surprises with Russia coming on top of England, BUT Scotland trailing Georgia!!!!

Georgia aren't as bad as people make out.

Same can be said of Scotland

Don't underestimate Georgia. They suplied plenty of (very skilled) players to the great USSR teams.

Dinamo Tblisi was a great club side in the 80s. They won the Cup winners Cup in 1981.

Gabelia - Kostava, Chivadze, Khisanishvili, Tavadze - Svanadze (67 Kakilashvili), Sulakvelidze, Daraselia - Gutsaev, Kipiani (c), Shengelia

The 3 in bold were truely worldclass

I know Georgia can play some, but Scotland have done so well throughout only to fall short when the objective is right in fron of their noses.

Wasn't Mikhailichenko (?) from Georgia or was he Ukrainian? Great, awesome central midfielder.

Yo Deano! believe it or not I was rooting for England. You HAVE to make it to Euro '08. Russia are a better team. Even though I was rooting for England, in the prediction game we have going I used my joker (double pts) on Russia winning.

I think I got 190 pts just in this game. Easy pick for many reasons, for starters using Lescott as fullback is asinine, then Gerrard as central midfield is just INSANE (as Fey puts it), then Owen just came off from being injured, Robinson is the goalie...

I feel sick

Russia aren't a better team...you know it and we know it. Doesn't help having none of the first 3 Left Backs there...a shite goalkeeper and a plastic pitch (may I add wet to that description)...and a penalty that was not a penalty (a foul outside the box).

You are entitled to dislike England and cheer who you want...but please don't try and anger the angry with repetitive comments about Russia being better and that the result isn't a surprise

Thanks

Georgian supporter on the pitch!

Sorry mate, but I have to be pleased. I need at least one nation there.

McFadden chopped down in the box, no penaly, damn kraut ref

Like Axe said....a plastic pitch needs to be wet...otherwise you end up with First degree burns!! Confounded englanders..

Scotland is doing what they always do...f@ck up

For ME, Russia are the superior team. For you and some others England are the superior team, and that's cool.

Russia have too much class in their midfield for Gerrard and company to cope. England HAVE to make it to Euro '08 though.

I train twice a week...once on a plastc pitch. When it rains, we can't always play on it...due to it being slippery, hard to play on and dangerous.

Confounded flatlanders.

Not just a plastic pitch. A DRY grass pitch needs to be sprayed prematch too.

Remember some of the matches during the 2006 WC. The grass was sticky and slow.

Scotland will come away with a draw.
