There's been some cracking results this campaign, Serbia 1 Estonia 3 has to be a good one!
It might sound a bit corny, but if you take away a small handful (Spain, Germany, Netherlands) of the exceptional teams, and a few of the poor teams (San Marino, Luxembourg, Azerbaijan, Andorra), Europe has really tightened.
Teams that for the past 5 or 6 campaigns that have been poor, Hungary/Finland/Austria/Slovakia/Armenia and others, are really making waves. Makes for interesting watching.

You've the likes of Albania, Armenia and Montenegro doing really well so far, while Romania, Turkey and Buglaria seem in trouble already. Bit of a role reversal as well. Good to see, even if it seems to be happening with us to an extent too.

Even Luxembourg drew with Belarus, who beat France.

I think there is a still wide enough gap between Spain and the leading pack.
Back into the leading pack have come Portugal. Since they got rid of that manager, they are playing like a team transformed.

Norway are also doing well since the return of Egil Olsen, still some milage left in those wellies.
