European qualifiers
Greatest day for the English soccer. And England did not even play.
Ozren Podnar reports...
What a wonderful Saturday for the English soccer! England did not play, though, but Israel did, and
Macedonia too. Not only one result went England's way on that glorious day, but two! Israel
achieved an unimaginable feat of beating Russia by 2-1, when even a draw seemed unassailable; an
hour later, the unbeaten Croatia finally succumbed to lowly Macedonia, who so rarely win a game at
home (four in the last seven years, to be precise).
By The Coach (who is really a crypto West Ham fan!) Bilic is an ex-West Ham great who has proven to
have Wenger-like qualities in building up teams that are young and exciting and most of all
effective. He can be the new Wenger of the Premiership and I am sure he would jump at the chance to
coach a Premiership team especially at his old stamping ground, Upton Park.
