Provided we beat Estonia that is.
It must be said that it's very likely the Estonian's are dancing in the streets with this outcome too. Must treat them with the utmost respect and ensure we don't stuff it up.
UEFA wouldn't have, would they?Quote:

Delighted with this, no excuses now, let's just be professional and finish the job.
It's pretty much a dream all round. Trying not to get carried away, still a job to be done. But very exciting.
If we can't win this tie we don't deserve to be anywhere near Poland/Ukraine next summer.
Have take the 16th of November off. Get in!
booked out the friday back sunday 170 return.
So where do we prefer Poland or the Ukraine?
The last time we were this confident about our chances we were playing Wales in the Q/F of a World Cup.
Dream draw though, no excuses whatsoever if we can't negotiate this one.
Have the month of the tournament booked off as well. Was going to do it anyway whether we got there or not.
right, happy days! now to sort my grant out, the grant people actually are retarded I swear to god
i have a couple of fit estonian friends unortunately they live in london :)
are you sure its not you who is the problem...got my grant no probsQuote:

Give us strength
French Toasht my friend I haven't said anything about the Pots for the finals yet. When I said 3rd seeds I meant we were 3rd highest seeds in the playoffs. Sorry for any confusion.Quote:

I'll take any pot!
Mouth watering ties ahead if the squad don't get complacent. Score draw over there and stumble over the line at home. It won't be pretty but the finishing line is in sight.

The first 3 in Pot 1 are guaranteed, due to being hosts or holders.

According to your working, my dream draw would be Poland, Croatia and Greece (or even Sweden). England would be fun mind but wouldn't fancy Denmark at all.
Everyone always wants to draw Greece, and they always qualify. Why?
Decent team but I'd still fancy my chances against them more than the Danes. Greece unbeaten in qualifying but in one of the easier groups imo, while Denmark topped a tough group. They strike me like Romania in 1990 - similarly obdurate, similarly beatable (ie by the skin of our teeth).Quote:

That would indeed be the Group of Death.Quote:

Progress? They haven't made a World Cup since '94 and got zero points as defending champs in '08. Hot and cold indeed. The Danes still appear far more potent. Their qualifying campaign looks the more impressive for who they played.Quote:

Greece qualified for South Africa, and topped their qualifying group against Croatia, who are a very strong side. Denmark topped their group, but having home advantage against Portugal on the last night was a major factor in that.
You're right on the World Cup - completely forgot Greece were in that. They had a fairly poor tournament then too though, only points came against a Nigeria team who were dominant until getting a man sent off.Quote:

Well "fairly poor" is relative really. It's still more than what we have done in recent campaigns. Yet again, the other seeds will want to get Ireland. If we get the nightmare draw as I posted earlier, we'll be doing well to get points too.Quote:

The standard of teams at Euro 2012 :eek:
Any of around 12 of the 16 teams would fancy their chances.
Oh aye but we're not debating the quality relative to us, just who we'd prefer - of course everyone will want us! Bring it on I say.Quote:
