I think he hit his head into a goalpost.

No, it was from a Reading player's knee.

Hurray, the qualifiers are back! It's all business now, many teams can either make or break their chances of making it to Switzerland/Austria next summer.

England won a big one over Israel (not an easy opponent for the Three Lions) 3-0.

Sweden has pretty much secured their spot after drawing with Denmark.

Iceland upsets Spain, drawing 1-1 in Reyjavik.

Scotland wins an important one over Lithuania 3-1 in Glasgow.

Thats because Czechs > Ireland. Not sure why you thought Ireland could be the Czechs in Prague.

I'm interested in hearing which one of the 'big' teams you guys think wont make it.

Unfortunately I havent had the chance to keep up with the Euro qualifiers but I'll brush up on it pretty quick.

Theres a good mix of enthusiasts on here, I like it.

Troutman, which Ireland are you cheering for?

I have to say, my Euro team is doing well, Germany has been impressive, I especially liked their 2-1 win over England at Wembley in a friendly earlier this summer.
