I am undecided on this, on the one hand, i want England to be in Austria/Switzerland next year as i have already booked the time off to go over, but on the other, i want Russia to win for the reasons you have already given.

HOW ENGLAND CAN QUALIFY


European Championship Qualifying : Group E Table
17 October 2007 20:53
P W D L F A GD PTS
1 Croatia 10 8 2 0 25 4 21 26
2 England 11 7 2 2 22 4 18 23
3 Russia 10 6 3 1 16 5 11 21
4 Israel 10 5 2 3 17 11 6 17
5 FYR Macedonia 10 3 2 5 10 11 -1 11
6 Estonia 11 1 1 9 3 21 -18 4
7 Andorra 10 0 0 10 2 39 -37 0


Key fixtures:
17 Nov: Israel v Russia (1800 GMT)
17 Nov: Macedonia v Croatia (1900 GMT)
21 Nov: England v Croatia (2000 GMT)
21 Nov: Andorra v Russia (2000 GMT)

The lowdown:
England's qualification is out of their hands. Their best hope is to finish ahead of Russia. But if the Russians win in Israel on Saturday, they will be one point ahead of England with one match to play - and that match is away to rock-bottom Andorra. England will not expect any favours from Andorra, who are on a run of 28 consecutive Euro qualifying defeats.

If Russia lose in Israel, then England need only to draw (or win) against Croatia in their final match at Wembley to guarantee qualification. If Russia draw in Israel, then England will need to beat Croatia in their final match to go through, given that a Russia win against Andorra is all but certain.

do you think they are good enough to go through personally shocking results and poor team selections and poor performances

[Del Boy Smiffy]

If we finish 2nd then we are good enough, fact.

I'd love us to go through and McMuppet to quit due to press pressure or whatever.

WOW Israel have gone 2-1 up

[johnscarlet]

It was the Macedonia game that killed us , should have been 3 easy points . The luckiest of lucky goals in Croatia also put the knife in , we were coping 'til then. He seems to have learned that Lamps and Gerrard does not work , it should , they are both class players , but it does not so one needs to be left out . Thats been done to death elsewhere so won't go into it again here , jesus the russians have just hit the post .
He had a rough start , but before the game in Russia we had won 4-0 4 times on the bounce . He must have learned something .

Besides , its about supp , **** Israel have scored again
