PrintWhat looks fun today?
How about Russia v Slovakia (or as I like to call it, meerkat vs weasel) (also, on now)
Bulgaria v Montenegro (you can do this, Petrov. Or Petrovs)
Netherlands v Finland (another thrashing?)
Germany v Azerbaijan (seems unfair)
Republic of Ireland v Andorra (let's play a bit better this time)
And, of course, Switzerland v England (has England really improved, or was Bulgaria just that easy of an opponent?)

Poor Azerbaijan.

I'm not sure how I feel about using a "EURO 2012" logo in 2010
Time goes quickly enough, UEFA. No need to rush it.
More annoyed about no live match on FSC today
They have to do better!

What are they showing then? Replays?

They do have live England U21s on now

What's the point of having the channel if they won't show live matches?

100 percent agree
Danny Rose just missed a great chance to put England 1-0 up

I'm trying to think of a parallel and it's just so dumb I can't do it.

Anyone else having trouble keeping track
of which international sides Kirsten likes? So far, I’m seeing Ireland, England, Slovakia…and that’s just today…
I like Russia, too, for the little meerkat and the Russian zombie (Yuri)

Almost immediately forced a corner, not done much yet
I am distracted, also watching Scotland U21s and sneaking the occasional peak at those idiot Russians (part of one of my bets today).

GOLLLL Albrighton!
Danny Welbeck with an excellent run and then a wonderful cross that the keeper dives and misses and there’s Marc Albrighton sliding in to knock it home! 2-0 England!

Nice move by Albrighton on the right
Got a cross right on to Welbeck’s head, but the ball just barely went over.

Scotland U21s 2-1 up
Chris Maguire scored a fabulous goal in the 89th minute! If they hang on they win the group and make the playoffs.

Welbeck scores again 3-0 England
Wilshire’s center was backheeled beautifully by Darius Henderson (I think) to set Welbeck up

1-0 England
Rooney scores, Walcott hurt on the play! This is shaping up into another international break that screws the Gooners (RVP is hurt as well)

It will go against Trap's nature
But Ireland need to put a bagful past Andorra. Always got to think of goal difference.

Nifty little run from Khaderia leads to an own goal

Misguided clearance
Was a difficult one though, not much Azerbaijani(?) defender could’ve done with. Couldn’t tell who made the pass for Khadiera to run onto the ball, but it was a good one.

Hurt himself, or let in a goal?
Because so help me god if my keeper and one of my star mids in fantasy succumb to injury in the same game.

Ok, England, if you can't win with the Swiss down to ten, you don't deserve to progress.

Just superb poise there
