EUFA Qualifiers today!

[M.O.B.E]

England sucks balls again and can only hold on to a draw with Macedonia.

SCOTLAND WINS!!!!!!

1-0 over France at Hamden Park in Glasgow. Thats one of the biggest wins in scottish football history. Lets get drunk as fuck!!!!!!

[M.O.B.E]

Gary Caldwell scored the only goal of the game as Scotland recorded a famous victory over World Cup finalists France in their Euro 2008 qualifier.

The result made it nine points out of nine for the Scots in Group B and they must surely now start believing they have a possibility of making the finals in Switzerland and Austria.

The winner came on 67 minutes when Paul Hartley's corner dropped to the feet of Caldwell whose low shot found the net.

With the Scots defending superbly throughout the game, French had no answers.

Only once did they seriously look like equalising. That chance came when Thierry Henry finally got in behind the defence but his free header from eight yards was straight at keeper Craig Gordon.

In a first half dominated by he visitors, Henry rattled the post with an early free kick, before Patrick Vieira's header was disallowed for offside.

For Scotland, James McFadden saw an early shot blocked by his own player, Paul Hartley, before shooting wide shortly after the break.

However, Caldwell stepped into the hero role soon after to leave Scotland brimming with confidence ahead of Wednesday's trip to Kiev to face Ukraine.

awesome win for the scots, it's good to see some gritty non-divers get a good result

as for england- woof i'm glad i didn't see that macedonia game. that said, i'm toying with the idea of skiving off of work and watching them get thumped by the croats tomorrow- 1:00 kickoff (and a $10 cover charge) though, that's pretty early to be slipping out of work.

oh well, i haven't used the doctor's appt excuse for a while...

[M.O.B.E]

I cant wait any longer for these games to get goin...I'll be have my weed nap by the time kickoff gets here. If Scotland can manage a draw then we are pretty much through. Things are looking up for this side. I'm glad the SFA starting allowing players playing out of Scotland into the team. None of the good Scots play in scotland anymore.

As for England. So sorry. Watching you get your asses handed to you today by Croatia will make my day even better.

Anyone have an audio link for the England game? Bloody BBC and their non-streaming policy!!

Lampard receives the ball inside the area but his poor effort loops over the bar when he should have done much better.

...he was prolly looking for a deflaction

60 mins: GOAL EDUARDO - Croatia are in front and you have to say its sloppy defending from England. A high looping cross was curled into the box and Eduardo loops his free header over a stranded Robinson.

englerlund could be up against the ropes...

bunch of wankers

68 mins: OWN GOAL NEVILLE - Disaster for England who are now 2-0 down after Robinson completely missed a Neville back-pass only to see the ball roll into the net.

I miss Sven.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

own goal neville... this is gonna get ugly

[Davey Boy 2.0]

could be a huuuuuuge uphill battle for england to qualify for europe now

the english press are going to have a field day

[M.O.B.E]

it gets better and better. Scotland is down 1-0 but they are pushing hard for a goal.

[ollie]

69 mins: The Croatian players didn't know who to congratulate and although it will go down as a Neville own goal, it was all Robinson's fault.

...

74 mins: The home fans jeer Robinson every time he receives a pass from his defence but he manages to boot the ball away successfully this time.

As a Spurs fan I am dumbfounded as to why Robinson still plays for the national team.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

coz Calamity James is often worse and Kirkland and Parker haven't had enough high level experience

that said robinson'll be taking penty of heat for this performance, it'll be interesting to see the lineup against Israel

Didnt Ollie start watching soccer 10 minutes ago?

[Davey Boy 2.0]

10 days ago i think

[M.O.B.E]

Scotland blew it in the last 5 minutes.

90' Shevchenko (Ukraine) scores from the penalty spot.

89' McManus (in) - Neilson (out) (Scotland)

88' Shevchenko (Ukraine) was fouled in the penalty area by Neilson (Scotland)

87' Gordon (Scotland) makes a save.

87' Shevchenko (Ukraine) delivers the free-kick on target.

86' Pressley (Scotland) is dismissed.

I'm still glad that other lot got beat too. Scotland is still tied at the top of the group 3-1 and yet to play Italy.

10 days ago i think

You two can go suck on some Croatian balls!!

[M.O.B.E]

Croatia just made me very very rich at the bookies.

Addict!

[M.O.B.E]

It was an easy bet...I even bet against Scotland too if that makes you feel any better. I might be Scots but I'm not stupid.

Ok.

[M.O.B.E]

I am however quite in the bag on my 'saturday'.

[Booche]

I do however quite like to lick bags on my 'saturday' while getting a reacharound. Then I like to blow my load all over a picture of David Hasslehoff while I listen to Cant Fight This Feeling.

Ok.
