Hey, they used to. It was called the "Home championships". It was the only time any team from the UK had a chance of winning anything! Maybe it is time to bring it back.

Russia is down to 10 men. England can still get in if Andorra scores.

Honestly, what a bunch of losers. They get given a "get out of jail free" card by Israel and fail to take it. They really and truly do not deserve to be there.

2154: FULL-TIME Andorra 0-1 Russia
That's it then. Russia's win puts them ahead of England in the Group E table. Steve McClaren awaits the press mauling tomorrow. It's not going to be pretty.

Brutal. My interest in the Euro has just decreased significantly.

That sucks.

McLaren refusing to step down . . . "too early to talk about the future"

Reports were Robinson could hardly even catch the ball during the training sessions.

Lateral move at best. Lest we forget the "swing-and-a-miss" that cost them a game...

England. Wow. McLaren wont have to step down. They are going to let him face the press tomorrow and if he doesnt want to quit after that they'll can him.

You blow enough chances and this is what happens. I cant believe they're disqualified, it'll make for a different Euro tournament, thats for sure.

That being said, I'm fairly pleased with my team's performance, Germany qualified rather comfortably.

We all know that pain Kage. It came down to a nailbiter and England, not only couldnt put it away, they couldnt even hold on to the draw.

Where was the Defence? And Goalkeeping has been brutal for them all campaign.
