Penalty to Russia.
Bleugh. Pavlyuchenko hat-trick.
"Het-reek" for Pavyluchenko. Looked a dodgy call but the referee has been sympathetic to the Russian cause all night.
ridiculous penalty. The Russian boy had controlled the ball about as far as I can kick it full force and it was heading into the stand.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Hmm, that's what we can look forward to when we play there.
Simply because UEFA will be keen to see yet another Russian 'invasion' of Poland & Ukraine.
Armenian goal disallowed for off-side from a free-kick.
Stupid Swiss. Can beat the world champions, but not this shower?
Super goal in fairness.
3-1 full time
"We lost because we didn't win"- Ronaldo
Full-time. 3-1 to Russia. Armenia gave it a good go, conceded a questionable penalty and had a headed effort disallowed. Would have needed to see another replay really but the stream has switched to England. Can anyone confirm it was definitely off-side? Disappointing overall, considering Armenia went 1-0 up.
We definitely need to take three points tonight.
Just saw the goals England gave up, hilarious. Especially the second one.
Was hoping USSR would trip up today. Oh well.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
I think that's Armenia out of it now, given they've still to travel to Lansdowne and Bratislava. Granted, they've played very well in the campaign so far, but you'd have to think they'd need four points from those two games to stay in touch?
In terms of the game in Lansdowne - I wasn't watching the stream. Can we do the double? They seem to be quite a nippy, energetic - if ultimately limited - team; the sort of team I'd imagine could cause us problems.
Always a long shot given the haven't played these past 20 years or so.
Armenia are technically very good but didn't seem to have any ideas in the final third. The number 10 running at the centre halves was their main threat. If we can cut that out (as we did in Yerevan) I think that'll be half the job done.
Well we all expected Russia to win annoying Armenia went 1-0 up.
Will goal difference become an issue? A Nice 5-0 er would be nice but I am not expecting that,
Will be more than happy with a 1 goal win.
It would appear that ranking of teams on equal points is based primarily on head-to-head results. Slovakia were top of the group with ten points this afternoon with ourselves and Russia in third and second respectively despite both having a superior goal difference; +3 each compared to Slovakia's +1.
Head-to-head results take priority if teams are level on points.
Actually the UEFA site showed Ireland on top. (probably wrongly!)

Needs confirming!!
I think goal difference take priority above head to heads, I think heads to head only comes into play
of goal difference is the same.

It's head to head first and goal difference only if the head to head is equal.
See Article 7.04 in this document.

Slovakia crack the cross-bar. Andorra still holding out with 20 minutes gone.
