No chance we will win, unless Alba are bad, very bad. And wouldn't be surprised with the 0-0.
What Kingdom says is pretty much right, except do expect Germany to wake up next year and resume normal service.
So it's all about those three games next year v.Alba/Polska. A 3-0 score either way later tonight, probably means jack. Though would p*ss off the Poles, who'll be praying for a draw.
For me, Polska at home is the must-win, above all others! Though whether we are capable, is another matter.
Robbie keane has scored the most euro qualifer goals in history with 21.
Scotland have not beaten us since 1961.
And according to Fox Soccer we havent played oeachother in 10 years.
I dont think I believe any of those facts :D Can we make it 50+ and counting tonight?
Maybe not in a qualifier but they have beaten us.Quote:

Ireland have been very lucky so far. Two late goals which weren't really deserved on the overall performances. They've 'dug deep' but haven't played well.
2-1 Scotland.
Smack, what was that, back of the head.
A dose of realism.
But I still think we can get a draw.
we kept going to the end in both games and therefore deserved what we got both times. also, we were the better team in georgia. Scotland have been lucky also with a deflected goal against georgia at home and poland should have scored twice in the last ten mins to win in warsaw. 1-1 draw for meQuote:

I hope we don't start Keano up top on his own in a 4-5-1.
With Long impressing out wide for Southampton is there any chance of him getting the nod in a wider position? Doubtful but I think his pace would cause Hutton problems.
I'm going for 1-1.
If we went for it I'd fancy us to beat em but I think it will be a cagey affair.
any reports from training? who was wearing the "chosen XI" bibs?
Liam Brady has a similar opinion.Quote:

Somehow, Paul's forecast of a draw, always a draw, is now been revised into a magnificent, farsighted and deep prophesy. We were not suppose to take his forecast of a draw. literally. It wasn't as straight forward as all that. Yes on the surface (to a shallow mind) it reads as a forecast of a draw, but underneath and between the lines he did not believe it would happen himself, unless 625 Gods decided to bless O'Neill on that auspicious day in Paradise :)
