Euro 2012 Qualifying

[HighTide]

It is getting excited, I haven't paid much attention to it so far but Germany looks awesome. Germany, Netherlands, and Spain have won all of their qualifying games so far, and Greece, Italy, and England have looked a lot better compared to their 2010 performances.

Anybody else watching this?

After Belgium dominated for the first 30 minutes, they just couldn't score.

The Germans would be my fav to win it....

IRL scored...but looks like RUS will win the group...

Ireland scored on an own goal by Armenia.

ah...

ah...

Yeah Ireland tried to get the ball in from a trick heel shot that went wide across the goal, and a Armenia defender tried to clear it but it went in.

Denmark and Portugal winner wins the group and the automatic qualifying sport, right now Denmark is up 1-0.

Sweden-Netherlands are tied at one all. If Sweden wins, they would get the 10th qualifying spot without having to play in the playoffs.

France v Bosnia-Herzegovina at Noon wins the group as well, right?

Bosnia-Herzegovina needs to win, to win the group. A draw makes France the group winner.

Edit: A draw by Portugal-Denmark makes Portugal the group winner.

I can't stand him. Most overrated player ever. Also, Denmark was robbed of a goal on a non-foul play(the foul was called).

Ireland 2- Armenia 1.

Ronaldo is awesome on Madrid... different guy in Portugal though.

Edit: A draw by Portugal-Denmark makes Portugal the group winner.

Thankfully it's 2-0 Denmark...

Ireland wins, and secures a spot in the playoff. Looks like Scotland has lost its second place unless they can score 3 goals to win against Spain. Poor Scotland.

 

[HighTide]

Sweden up 3-2 on the Netherlands, who have yet to be beaten.

 

[HighTide]

The 10 Teams that Advance to Ukraine-Poland are the following:
Germany
Russia
Italy
France
Netherlands
Sweden(best 2nd place team)
Greece
England
Denmark
Spain

The Following 8 will play a two-legged playoff for the final 4 spots:
Portugal
Croatia
Ireland
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Czech Republic
Estonia
Montenegro
Turkey

Keep in mind the final 2 spots go to host countries of Poland and Ukraine.

 

[CalamityX11]

I'm going with Portugal, Ireland, Czech and Turkey to make it.
