The draw for the 2012 Euro's in Poland and Ukraine will not be held until February 2010, but
UEFA has already conformed the seeds for the draw.
With the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Northern Ireland all in Pot Three, the likelihood of
England drawing one of them is 38%. We could also see a repeat of the World-Cup playoffs games
between the Republic of Ireland and France.

Its is a critical week for Liverpool with games against Sunderland, Lyon and Manchester United
and they will play at least the first game without stars Steven Gerrard AND Fernando Torres, who
both have groin problems.
What upset Rafa the most was not only did his two best players pick up the injuries on
international duty, but that they both stayed on with their respective countries, wrecking any
hopes Liverpool had of treating them at Melwood and getting them fit for today's trip to
Sunderland.

Decir que la jornada de clasificación que se ha disputado este fin de semana no ha sido muy
emocionante es faltar a la verdad... o haberse quedado con el trámite que jugó España la tarde
del sábado.
A falta de dos partidos por jugarse en cada grupo (salvo en el grupo 9, ya finalizado por contar
con cinco equipos y donde se clasificó Holanda) muchas cosas podÃan decidirse ya en forma de
billetes directos, oportunidades en repesca y grandes ausencias, aunque los grandes aún tienen
alguna opción para la jornada intersemanal que se avecina.

In the world of football Armenia is not exactly considered an awesome team with an unbelievable
history. In fact you could compare them to the MLB's Kansas City Royals for you Yanks out
there. Armenia's biggest career matches have been in World Cup qualifiers if you get my drift.Â
In other words Armenia has never been good enough to make the Cup in the first place, so their
World Cup history is as limited as it can get.

International Week 0-0 Excitement
Interminable, isn't it? Though it's not like our players are all sitting at home twiddling on
their Wiis we've got 20 away on international duty. Am I being a cynic to suggest that the chances
of all 20 of those players coming back uninjured is practically nil?

Fernando Torres limped out of training with the Spain squad but his injury is not thought to be
serious.
The Liverpool striker abandoned the training session as a precautionary measure when he pulled up
with a groin problem, but was later able to exercise on his own in the gym.
Torres should be fit for Spain's World Cup qualifying double header which is good news for coach
Vicente del Bosque, who is already without Valencia forward David Villa who pulled out of the squad
earlier this week with a hamstring injury.

I decided to borrow the title from a's comment under the last post. You want excuses? Here's
one: we always play horribly in June. Remember 2006? A major failure in the German World Cup. 2007?
Hell, we even managed to lose against Armenia. 2008? Don't even remind me the Euro 2008 games. Has
anyone expected a better performance this time?

It was 1-1 when I arrived in the mad dash from the west-side, and I understand that the Italian
Wizard put the ball in the back of the net for the early goal.
It was clear that Deportivo Armenia had studied our game from our earlier encounters. Not that
they played anti-football, but it was close.

inflicted on Estonia, it was pretty much over by the 16th minute. Iniesta had a mesmerizing
homecoming at Albacete, quickening pulses whenever he got the ball and racking up 3 gorgeous
assists.
