BiH is playing strong football. They were pretty close to making it into the WC and that momentum has followed through. It would not at all surprise me at all if they got three points against France.

first result of the day.

Russia 0 - 1 Slovakia.

That's quite an upset!

It's kind of surprising but not really a huge upset, Slovakia have been on the way up for a few years now and have some really good young players like Hamsik, Stoch, Jendrisek and Weiss.. Russian supporters can't be too pleased though

I think the fact that it's on the road. You know how hard it is to win international away from home.

Matches like

Norway-Portugal
Bosnia-France
Suisse-England

will be very interesting today.

ya Slovakia is an up and comer but thats a game Russia has to win. Their group isn't the easiest and while they are probly the best team of the 3 who likely have a chance to qualify (themselves, Slovakia, Ireland) they still need to win the games

they can't miss out on 2012 after missing the WC

[d_phaneuf]

also Capello is just messing with England at this point (team, media, and fans), he has played Cahill with Jagielka all throughout training ever since the last game

and then the squad is announced and Lescott goes in not Cahill

Luka Modric is back in for Croatia after not playing soccer for a month. Croatia and Greece are just getting underway.

Croatia all over Greece in the first 5 minutes but no goals.. the home crowd is crazy loud.

Portugal under attack against Norway as I switch feeds.

Rooney opens the scoring for England, and Walcott's off injured for Adam Johnson (woooo!)

[d_phaneuf]

haha

I wanted Johnson to start but not that way, and instead of Milner not Theo

Arsenal's yearly injuries taking no time to come up this year it seems, Van Persie out for 6 weeks, Walcotts injury looks bad, these things come in 3's

Cesc better be careful

[GirlySports]

Norway up 1-0 on Portugal after 25 minutes. I missed the goal cause I was watching Croatia which is still 0-0

[Mango]

Croatia is playing too much long ball, while the Greeks clog the middle.

[GirlySports]

Another sort of upset

Bulgaria 0 - 1 Montenegro

[SuperMatt18]

Not really a surprise as Italy is already up 3-0 against the Faroe Islands, but in CP news everybody's favorite goalkeeper Gunnar Nielson of the Tranmere Rovers has actually made a few nice saves to keep the score 3-0.

[d_phaneuf]

Johnson 2 in 2

maybe he should be a starter now Fabio? the only good left footed and left sided midfielder in the country can maybe get a spot?

[d_phaneuf]

swiss get one back on a wonder goal

and Bent is on for Defoe who went off injured

[Jagger]

Scotland down 1-0 to Liechtenstein!

I dinna see that one coming.

[d_phaneuf]

Norway 1-0 final

[Mango]

Croatia Greece 0-0

[BlackEleven]

Norway beats Portugal

Heia Norge!
