Euro 2012 Qualifiers

Wow. Talk about terrible luck for England.

As usual against one of the big teams the Swiss didn't manage to pull it off. I'm quite happy with that tie, though. I expected England to win handily.

I'm a whole-hearted Austria fan tonight.

3:0 Germany

This is going to end badly. Germany is playing world-champion like and we are 2 classes below.

jo, des is bitter.

I'm also cheering on Montenegro to make it out in 2nd place. Not that I think they will though.

It would be quite an accomplishment if they got the second spot but I want the Swiss to qualify. I think England will beat Montenegro (but it should be a tough game) and Switzerland will win against Wales, setting up a decisive final game which the Swiss will take at home.

Absolutely. There are two tough matches ahead of the Swiss team but I think they can do it. While the Swiss have played better and better recently the Montenegro squad appears to have faltered.

What a lame match between Wales and Switzerland ... fortunately England is about to crush Montenegro.

... or not. Montenegro has just scored. England's lead is down to 2-1 now.

Wales has taken the lead against Switzerland!

That was a terrible performance by the Swiss, plain and simple. If you lose to Wales in such a way, you have no business trying to qualify for the World Cup.

[ZuWo]

And Montenegro makes it 2-2 in injury time!

I'm not too unhappy. In this shape, the Swiss won't beat Montenegro anyway.

Germany is playing Switzerland in a friendly game today. I expected this to be a 3-0 or 4-0 victory for Germany, but strangely enough Switzerland has taken a 2-0 lead after only 20 minutes. A victory against the Germans would be huge ...

For the record, the last Swiss victory against the Germans dates back to 1956.

[ZuWo]

2-1 now, just one minute before halftime. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the turning point and Germany scores a couple more goals.

[ZuWo]

3-1 now, and a Derdiyok hattrick. Ok, I won't make predictions anymore. This match is just weird.

[ZuWo]

The last five minutes ... I'm just speechless.

Well, positively speaking for Germany we can say this game was the wake-up call they needed.

[ZuWo]

5-3.

The German squad without or with only a few players from Bayern is as competitive as the German economy without the state of Bavaria.

[ZuWo]

That was one of the coolest free kick routines I've ever seen.

Now you have a really hard decision to make: Whether to put that free kick routine or that terrible gaffe by the Swiss goalkeeper in your sig.

Watch the last goal by Austria's Marko Arnautovic @ about 4:00 ...

Will this victory silence the critics of Marcel Koller for a while?
