September 6, 200619 yr I can't believe there isn't a thread already for the euro 2008 qualifiers. But San Marino vs Germany, with the germans winning 13-0 :shocked2: So... ...(this is why I hate starting discusion threads) ...Talk about the euro 2008 qualifiers. In other news, the world-cup final rematch was won by France 3-1 :)
September 6, 200619 yr Northern Ireland 3 Spain 2 Not bad for a team who lost to Iceland I didnt realise England were in the same group as Israel - do we play in Israel or another venue?
September 6, 200619 yr We played like shit...damn :confused: but you can't call it a world-cup final rematch..Italy's team was not the same (just 5 players out of 11 who played the final) including the coach ;) it was only another France-Italy match...scary LOL Poor San Marino...Germans should have let them score one goal :lol: anyway can I use this thread to try and understand one thing: so there is the National team for Faer Oer Islands, but as far as I know they're not a Nation, just part of Denmark (an autonomous region)...so why do they have a national team? Anyone can answer?
September 6, 200619 yr Good question!! Britain has England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland so there is a presedent! Puerto Rico and Palastine have teams and they arent proper countries! Actually theres quite a few when you think about it!
September 6, 200619 yr Author looks like its gonna be a good cup for the Germans....:D Well San Marino are the whipping boys of every qualifiction contest, they normally leak more goals than thames water do water.
September 6, 200619 yr Well San Marino are the whipping boys of every qualifiction contest' date=' they normally leak more goals than thames water do water.[/quote'] They have scored the fasted goal in international football ever thou. 8 seconds against England
September 6, 200619 yr Good question!! Britain has England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland so there is a presedent! Puerto Rico and Palastine have teams and they arent proper countries! Actually theres quite a few when you think about it! Yep..the UK example came into my mind as well...and it's weird because if it's a national team there should be a Nation, not a region...I mean ok Palestine is not a proper country, but it's independent, Puerto Rico too, they're not some other Country's regions LOL me and my questions, I should take it easier :lol:
September 6, 200619 yr All I know is the match with Anforra was, as predicted by the tourist, a roust!! In fact, locals in Old Trafford were complaining because there was no real excitement. I guess I can see what they mean...but it was exciting enough for me!!:thumbsup:

At 5 million they are the largest dependcey in the world. Or something like that.
September 6, 200619 yr ...and as for the nationhood of Palestine...we'd better save that one for other threads...lol...we don't want to bring out the hooligans to this one!!!;)
September 6, 200619 yr ^lol, everyone listen to tracie on this one! alleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez les bleus!!!!!! too bad i can't get a GD match over here though. all i can see are the random brazil/southamerican games on the spanish channel. :dozey:

September 7, 200619 yr but Germany is the only team so far that has looked to be in top shape! Italy is lookin rough.. Germany IS looking good. It'll be interesting to see how England fare when they have a real challenge on their hands!!
September 7, 200619 yr We won! Btw folks heres some more info on San Marino (I have a thing for it) http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/san+marino
September 7, 200619 yr but Germany is the only team so far that has looked to be in top shape! Italy is lookin rough.. so happy Germany had such a huge won...ya, Spain and Italy looks not recovery already. And I hope Wales could qualify. They have many good player like Giggs,Bellamy ,Davies...
September 7, 200619 yr I would love Wales to qualify - i have welsh blood in me! and also giggsy - he deserves the chance to play on a big stage. Heres an article on the San Marino game. I'm not happy with the idea. http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/07092006/2/photo/germany-provide-13-reasons-hopers.html
September 7, 200619 yr I took this screenshot yesterday! It was a fantastic game! By the way, Germany hit the crossbar 3 times and Lehmann wasn't allowed to score the last goal... :P
September 7, 200619 yr also giggsy - he deserves the chance to play on a big stage. couldnt agree more!
September 7, 200619 yr I have Welsh blood in me too...if Wales qualifies, my loyalty will be soooo torn...:\
