[desertfox2]

Results so far:

Austria 2-3 Czech Rep.

Hungary 1-2 Poland
Sweden 0-1 Latvia

Latvia stuns Sweden today with this 1:0 victory on the road and have clinched second place and are now into the playoffs. This is Sweden's first loss in a major qualifying campaign since 1997. Poland and Hungary are eliminated.

Germany 3-0 Iceland
Scotland 1-0 Lithuania

Germany does the expected and wins the group. Scotland gets a late goal by the youngster Fletcher and jumps into second and will be in the playoffs.

Matches in progress:

Cyprus 0-1 Slovenia (41st min)

Bosnia-Herz 1-1 Denmark (53rd min)
Norway 1-0 Luxembourg (53rd min)

Armenia 0-1 Spain (53rd min)
Greece 0-0 Northern Ireland (53rd min)

Turkey 0-0 England (11th min)

Russia 3-1 Georgia (83rd min)
Switzerland 2-0 Rep. of Ireland (83rd min)

More final results from today:

Cyprus 2-2 Slovenia

Bosnia-Herz 1-1 Denmark
Norway 1-0 Luxembourg

Bosnia-Herz fell just short of Portugal in 2004 after giving up an early goal and was only able to come back with one when they needed to win. Norway's victory over Luxembourg puts them into the playoffs (in the head-to-head tiebreaker over Romania) and Denmark has won the group and has qualified for the Finals.

Armenia 0-4 Spain
Greece 1-0 Northern Ireland

Although Spain won by four on the road over Armenia, Greece's 1:0 triumph over Northern Ireland at home has clinched first place for the Greeks and now Spain will have to enter the playoffs.

Russia 3-1 Georgia
Switzerland 2-0 Rep. of Ireland

A disappointing ending for the Rep. of Ireland as they are the team that is now eliminated. Switzerland wins the group, and Russia will enter the playoffs.

Matches in progress:

France 0-0 Israel (12th min)

Holland 0-0 Moldova (27th min)

Turkey 0-0 England (90th min)
Liechtenstein 0-1 Slovakia (HT)

Croatia 0-0 Bulgaria (42nd min)
Belgium 0-0 Estonia (42nd min)

Italy 0-0 Azerbaijan (12th min)
Wales 0-1 Serbia and Montenegro (12th min)

Half-Time : France 3 - Israel 0

Goal from Henry, Trezeguet, Boumsong.

Amazing second goal.

FT Turkey 0-0 England, a great win for the Turks as predicted by many in Turkey and at Bigsoccer....




:D

[paulocesar]

I was expecting a lot more from Turkey-England match...people were saying before that it would be the game of the year.... well after watching it, i'd have to say it was the game of the year alright, but for utter crapness!!

I already sense Euro 2004 will be a dud as far as quality of football. Look at the team's that have already qualified....Greece, Germany, Denmark, Bulgaria, Sweden, England, Italy,...with France, Czech Republic and (maybe) hosts Portugal providing attractive football for the automatic qualifiers.

Then you've got Wales, Scotland, Latvia, Russia, Slovenia, Croatia and Norway all chasing Turkey, Holland and Spain for the playoff spots. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the latter three would face each other to ensure UEFA's dream of killing attacking minded football.

Club football 10 times superior to national play. Carry on.

Italy 4 Azerbaijan 0

[SueB]

All results are in and these teams have qualified:

Portugal, France, Denmark, Czech Republic, Sweden, Germany, Greece, England, Bulgaria, Italy, Switzerland.

And these are the playoff team:

Slovenia, Norway, Netherlands, Latvia, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Croatia, Wales, Russia.

The playoff draw takes place on Monday.

[Spartak]

Who wants to bet that Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey, Norway, and Croatia don't play each other in the playoffs? I know they say that they won't seed teams but it always seems to work out that the highest ranked teams are seperated from each other.

Just for the record here are the the teams going into the draw on Monday with thier FIFA rank:
3 Spain
7 Netherlands
8 Turkey
23 Croatia
25 Norway
28 Russia
33 Slovenia
53 Wales
53 Scotland
73 Latvia

Norway outclassed mighty Luxembourg 1-0 tonight in Oslo. That's our only goal scored in the last five internationals. Spain, Holland and Turkey. Prepare for hell! ;)

Sweden tanked it against Latvia, helping out their close neighbour

Sweden's new Foreign Minister is Latvian
