I am. I missed 4 matchdays though.(there has been 6)I'm currently 11,913 out of 35,381. My predictions for this round(in order of times from earliest to latest): Scotland-Germany Germany Ireland-Albania Ireland Finland-Serbia-Montenegro Draw Iceland-Faroe Islands Iceland Estonia-Andorra Estonia Moldova-Austria Austria Ukraine-Armenia Ukraine Bulgaria-Belgium Draw Malta-Cyprus Cyprus Romania-Bosnia Romania Israel-Slovenia Slovenia Denmark-Norway Draw San Marino-Sweden Sweden Macedonia-Liechtenstein Macedonia Belarus-Netherlands Netherlands Slovakia-Turkey Turkey Switzerland-Russia Switzerland Hungary-Latvia Draw Spain-Greece Spain
Final results: Scotland 1-1 Germany Rep. of Ireland 2-1 Albania A huge draw for Scotland and now both Scotland and Germany are tied on 8 points apiece but the Germans have a match in hand. A very late own goal gives the Irish a huge win which gets them back into the race in Group 10.

Not much predictions left... Austria is surely not going to win at Moldova. I expect a Moldova win. Maybe a tie. I expect Holland to lose 3-1 but I hope not. I fear Holland will play a lousy 1st half with Belarus becoming dangerous all of a sudden in the last 10 minutes a couple of times. One of those times will see a home goal. Right after the break Holland attacks like crazy, is close to a goal two times but Belarus scores from a counter 7 minutes after HT. Then the orange storm breaks loose... but no goals. Hardly any real chances. Until Kluivert fires the home the 2-1 from a big scramble in front of the Belarus goal. The 2-2 seems to be a matter of time, but as the clock ticks on Holland gets more nervous and makes more mistakes. This leads to the 3-1 in the 84th minute. And if that won't be the scenario we just win 0-2 in a boring match. If my prediction is right I shall be named 'AFCA king of big soccer' though.
38th minute now. Terrible football. Holland a bit more chances, but other than that the teams are in balance. I'm trying to stay awake. Need coffee.
Thought these were night games ...good ...good...will chechk this live site out... Ireland good...own goal OK no problem...Well take it ...
You need Prozac, not coffee. Surely Germany failing to beat their much-derided coach must bring a warm glow to your heart?
A little bit of warmth. I'm on a sugarfree red bull now. Big fat joint is rolled. Future looks bright for now
after todays games its obvious that serbia got knocked out--theyre not coming out of that group italy and wales are and im so happy........ 6/11 forza croatia
I was hoping that slovakia would do us a favour and take afew points off turkey. But I was disappointed when I saw the conditions in bratislava and the scoreline. When we played in slovakia we played in torrential rain ,on a ploughed up pitch in front of hostile 30,000 crowd on a cold winter night. The turks played to an empty stadium ,on an improved pitch on a sunny evening... ooh cheers slovakia for creating such a "nasty" atmosphere. what a joke.
Keep that sugar high going eh??? I am thrilled about ALL of these results and they came in before I went to sleep!! BONUS!!!

Some early - although no surprising - decisions: Group 1: Malta finishes last ranked, Cyprus has no chance to qualify directly. Group 3: Moldovia and Belarus have no chance to qualify directly. Group 4: San Marino finishes last ranked. Group 8: Andorra has no chance to qualify directly. Group 9: Aserbidjan (?) has no chance to qualify directly.
