Portland Bill Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong,but I haven't seen it mentioned on here that Ukraine smashed Montenegro 4-0 on Friday. Ukraine have 4 games left, 6 defo points against San Marino and England and Poland both at home! It looks as if, England are now scrapping it out with Montenegro for 2nd place. Will we actually get to Brazil ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 England are still above Ukraine. We also have a game in hand on Montenegro. As I said, Ukraine really have a 5 point advantage on us because they have to play San Marino twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheddarReds Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 We have to draw with Ukraine and win our three home games against Moldova (won 5-0 away), Montenegro (1-1 away) and Poland (1-1away). Seems highly likely to me. I think we can beat Moldova and Montenegro but Poland and Ukraine won't be push overs. Lets hope we will be ok. What was the score when we played Ukraine? I think we won, didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betelgeuse Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 We'll get there then the usual will happen. We'll get a decent group with a crappy team in it, we'll play them first and scramble a 1-1 draw. The whole country gets angry and we play the 2nd game against a better team and get a lucky 0-0. The final game is a must win and we do so in style, a wonderful 3-0 win and we go through, high hopes all around! We then draw a big team in the 1st knock out. We play well and in a end to end game we get a 2-2 draw then its shoot out time. We lose 4-2 on pens and head home. The nation is in a state of mixed emotions, we did ok, not much luck, should have took him instead of him etc. Brazil win it then it's history. Nothing much changes and we start the qualifiers for france 2016 with a crappy 2-1 win vs iceland then draw 1-1 in a friendly vs china and hodgson gets sacked. Some other dude takes over and promises big things but we scramble through the group as runners up but make it. The group kicks off and we play the poorest team in the group and draw 1-1.............etc...etc...etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine have 4 games left, 6 defo points against San Marino and England and Poland both at home! It looks as if, England are now scrapping it out with Montenegro for 2nd place. Will we actually get to Brazil ? Well the bookies certainly think so - England are 1/8 to qualify, and 6/1 to not qualify. Those odds would reflect the fact that we've only lost two competitive games over 90 minutes in the last six years - one was a dead rubber in Dnipropetrovsk, the other was the Germany game in Bloemfontein. 6/1 to not qualify - a great opportunity to cash in for those on here (and it would seem there are plenty) who really think the England senior team are as awful as many would have you believe (I'm not one of them, BTW).

North London Red Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Defoe had a perfectly good goal ruled out if I remember rightly. Indeed he did, by the Turkish referee who also sent off Steven Gerrard just as it looked as if we'd pinch a very late winner after Lampard's equaliser. The same Turkish referee who has sent off a player for the English national or club team on five separate occasions (including Nani for Man Utd against Real Madrid), but never sent a player off against an English team.

BRISTOL86 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 As I said, Ukraine really have a 5 point advantage on us because they have to play San Marino twice. Well that makes no sense! How do they have a 5 point advantage? That only applies if we don't win our games. It's in our hands now to win our group. Win our game in hand and we are top of the group, it's then ours to lose.

Roger Red Hat Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm an England fan and hope we qualify, however I can easily see us not making it. Ukraine are more than capable of beating us, we don't seem to be able to beat Montenegro, and Poland are no pushovers for us. I can easily see us not making it, were not that much better than those teams, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While admittedly England aren't where we want them to be at the moment, we are still right up in there in the grand scheme of things. In my opinion, Germany, Spain, Argentina, and Brazil are definitely ahead of us. We're in the group behind, with Italy and the Netherlands imo. France, Portugal, Uruguay, Mexico, etc are definitely behind us, and Belgium are unproven apart from very, very recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
