Yeah did beat them once though. And I think they are level points with Ukraine?
But really should have beaten them (although it wouldn't have made a difference if we lost against Italy anyway).
And we did get denied a total stone wall penalty.... again. After conceding a non pen against Lithuania and not getting another stone waller too.
And never got one against Italy for a guy handling it in the box either... some people would think that there was some form of fixing going on given the joke of a free-kick that gave the Italians the second goal.
...but we all know thats not the Italian way. :p

the problem being though that your goal was offside and apparently italy should've had a penalty too in the first half? Either way, you've done well to get close, and hopefully will be seeded 2nd in a group next time, and avoid playing two of the 'big' nations to give you a more realistic view of getting into the playoffs for the 2010 qualification, depending which 1st seed you draw

The lowdown:
Scotland are out. Italy's win means that they and France qualify. Italy avoid repeating their 1984 embarrassment of failing to qualify for a European finals despite being world champions.
powned!
if finland beats us wednesday we're out too

They had a goal chalked off, but was handled down. Our goal was very close to being off.
But thats a quick decision the one for their free kick was just unbelievable. Professional refs just don't make mistakes like that. Last few mins of the game:
That is what put us out of the competition........ after all we've done that sealed it. Sickening.

trust me, as a Bolton fan, i've seen a nearly identical one a few years ago against Spurs where they scored from it & won 3-2 and goals disallowed for no reason against 'bigger' teams. Sadly for you guys, there's nowt you can do about it now, so take the positives, which are many, from the qualifying and try not to end up being bitter :)

Unlucky.
But at the end of the day your from England, a nation who raped and pillaged countless countries around the world. Next to America, your probably the 2nd most hated country in the world.
Unlucky :toothless

Wow. How the hell is that a freekick for Italy? If anything it should have been freekick for Scotland.
The Italian player was the one tried to shove off the Scottish player with his elbow and he failed and fell.
Football definitely needs instant replay, to be reviewed by the 4th ref. Might as give that guy something else to do, other than holding up lightbright board
bananas
And we've beaten Ukraine :p nothing important but pretty nice to win over #22 spot in FIFA rankings, while Lithuania's at 90 :]

Lithuania is a decent team. Even if it basically Hearts plus a few mates. :D
