Internationals

No idea, but I just don't get patriotism. The idea that I'm going to turn around and cheer the likes of Rooney or Terry simply because they were born within a specific geographical boundary is lost on me.

I'll pick who I support for reasons I choose.

To be fair though, it does give a good excuse for a knees up now and again.

If I was English I would probably be the same tbf most of our guys play abroad.

Weird how they only scraped by Cyprus, must be a **** group. Iceland have lost one and kept 5 clean sheets, the first team to beat Holland in Holland for 15 years

Fait play to Iceland, in saying that though.. that is the worst Dutch side i've ever seen. They'll be in decline for a long time now IMO.

Great achievement by your guys, especially when you look at the players. Lots of the players or have played here in Norway, and they don`t look like players that could beat the Dutch when I see them. The team most just be buzzing when they meet up, and that gives them a feeling of being unbeatable.

I'm pretty sure the weatherman is not a Wales fan.

But isn't Iceland the Wales of Europe?

Lagerback has to take a lot of the credit, the team is well drilled and he gets everything out of all the players. The spirit is also great in the team, from the start they said they were going for one of the top two places.

The key players are Aron Einar at Cardiff, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Birkir Bjarnason at Basel and Johann Berg at Charlton, I think Birkir could really make a step up but a side from Gylfi most of the players are of good Championship standard.

They've done the double over Holland, won the Chechz once and Turkey twice, after missing out on the WC last time after the playoffs this team is going to France, can't see them losing all three games that are left.

The didn't offer any threat at all, their are **** at the back, Iceland had shot against the post, a horrible miss early and couple of decent chances, the Dutch had a couple of chances too but mainly it was difficult shots or poor shots. RVP didn't even warm up and Danny Blind looked a little lost IMO.

Dutch 1-0 down away to Turkey. Playoff space at best if they fail to win today

[Chris]

The Euro's looks like it'll be 24 dreadful teams, could have a surprise winner.

We could even see our Roy upgraded from King of the LMA to King of the Euros

Oh god, imagine. He has absolutely no excuse for not making a decent attempt of this one mind, though I'm sure he'll find plenty when he fails!

2-0 down, Iceland will be at the Euros Hopefully as group winner

[ChesterDave]

I've got a massive £4 on Malta and Norway double to win £44. Norway winning and Malta are back to 1-1

Nah.

Its possible this year that a team finishing 3rd in a group of 5 can qualify for the finals who go on to finish 3rd in a group of 4 at the finals could win the tournement. Too many teams being given too much of a chance. Its practically impossible for a big nationa to fail to quality (although the Dutch are making a ruddy good go of it)
