Romania was in the lead til' the last couple of minutes yesterday against Bulgaria. But Martin Petrov scored two goals and the game ended 2:2.

Moldova - Greece 0-1

God, we were bloody awful yesterday. I don't think we can compete for Euro this time.

In the 1st half we had some shit chances, missed a penalty with Basinas and Moldova reached many times inside Greece's half.
In the 2nd half we were far better did some good chances for goal but most of the times we had finishing problems , till we brought in Lymperopoulos' head and scored for us at 78'.

Originally posted by zoric Finland has a pretty solid team actually, They've got Hyppiä and Pasanen in the defence while Kolkka, Litmanen and others are still playing well. Besides, We serbs lost to them last time we played against eachother, But two of our players weren't good enough to play that night, they were drunk the night before, Idiots.

They've got several great players in the defense, but i've got doubts on whether they will work as a team and many doubts about the quality of the attack. Litmanen was brilliant a couple years ago, one of my fav players, but just the fact they are still relying on him, who must be like 36 years old already, tells it all.

Did Maniche play for Portugal? I've just heard he hasn't got enough training to play for Atlético.

No, he wasn't even called up for the squad. He's out of form as you say.

I'm sure Finland will do well if they continue like they did against Poland yesterday.

Definetly, But Jari still knows how to play football and does that pretty well both in the NT and in Malmö.

They've got a solid goalkeeper in Jääskeläinen, their defence has got some nice players and the two most well known is probably Pasanen and Hyppiä. Also, Teemu Tainio is still a pretty good player, Joonas Kolkka is good aswell and ofcourse, their attack mostly involves Jonathan Johansson and Jari Litmanen.

But they've got Russianborn Eremenko, who sometimes has his problems. Mikael Forsell is a good attacker aswell, So their squad is pretty nice even though it hasn't got so big stars.

Finland will be a tough test for Portugal and for us serbs. Can't say we've impressed anyone, and Clemente is still experimenting, Latest line-up was 4-4-3. Very offensive, but we just scored one goal, and that was in the end of the game.

Well..who do you expect them to play with? Lebanese or Syrians? It'd be a f**** war, not a game.

Yeah i've heard about all of them, kinda of strange how Finland is still such a low profile team with so many quality players in top leagues.

Yeah it will be a tough test for us, i remind the last time we faced them in a friendly before WC2002, we lost 4-1. As for your tactic, very offensive indeed to play without a goalie.

Germany 1 - 0 Ireland


Disappointed. Got a lucky goal which was deflected in by Robbie KEane. However if it wasnt for Given they could of won by 3. We created very little though. Terrible going forward. Dunne should of scored in the last minute though.

They have the potential to go to a big tournament like Euro or World Cup, but they never manage to make it, Like the game against Hungary back in the days, In 1998 I think it was, when Hungary made it through to the extra-playoffs where they had like 1 point or 1 goal more than Finland. Hungary got their ass kicked by Yugoslavia in the playoffs before the World Cup in France.

That was like their biggest chance to make it to a big tournament.

Sorry, I misstyped it. But it was really a big experiment from Clementes side. Panetlic is missing too many chances to become a big striker indeed, Our biggest problem by far.

I'm also happy Milan Stepanov made a good job, because he was replacing a injured Vidic, very close to score a goal aswell. He's got lots of potential to evolve even more and become even better.

Bosko Balaban, Darijo Srna and Ivica Olic got their asses kicked out of the Croatian team.



Here's Zlatan together with Olof Mellberg of Aston Villa and Christian "Chippen" Wilhelmsson (Nantes) going out, and the morning after, they got their asses kicked out of the Swedish team
