Euro 2012 Qualifiers

I suppose it's nice to see Ingerland not fail utterly, especially as the keeper was born in the same town as me. Wales lost to Montenegro which is less good, though not surprising.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Congratulations to Scotland for their heroic defeat of the mighty Liechtenstein. No, seriously. Their coach has stated that he is 'thrilled' with the result.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Northern Ireland count as a 'real test' for Italy now? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Several funny results yesterday.

Yes, Bulgaria finally won a match

Against the worst Wales squad since that carrot Bobby Gould was coach.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Wow. Northern Ireland was lucky to escape with a draw against the Faroe Islands. Even though it was only a tie, that will likely be the best result the Faroe Islands will see throughout qualification.

My point exactly.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

How much longer will that fascist last as England coach, I wonder? Oh... wait. I forgot. Those contractual issues that the FA stupidly (tautology?) agreed to.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

How's Wales doing, Al?

About as well as they have done since John Charles retired, which is not very. Why?

Really no need for that, dear. I described Capello as a fascist because he appears to be one (as in: a supporter of fascism) and not because he's Italian.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I know Capello is a right winger but fascist? I can't help but think you exaggerated it to throw in another veiled jab.

Nah, I mean it in all seriousness. Based on some of the comments he's made in the past (stuff to do with Franco comes to mind immediately), he does appear to be a fascist.

Does it? I'll remember that; thanks. Learn something every day, don't you?

You ought to at least correct to foreigner's Welsh orthography, Alun. These mistakes happen.

This is true. The letter 'k' is no longer used for one thing.

Damn. I wasn't going to put that in at first. Oh well. Almost dead on though. 

No, not almost dead on. No way 'duyerbag' could ever be a Welsh word.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I guess I didn't throw together enough random letters.

Is this the time to mention that I live in Y Felinheli, that my Taid grew up in Llan Ffestiniog and that one of his brothers lived near Trawsfynydd?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Wales leading two nil... which is... unusual these days.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Earnshaw needs his eyes tested. Oh well.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So, Wales won again. Weird.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Anyways, lol Rayne Wooney.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I'm also hoping Sweden's streak of not losing against England since 1968 remains intact after today!

Because of the failure of the current management to take a stand against racism, so am I.

Anyone who cares more about their national team than their club is not a real football fan. End of discussion.

This seems to assume that one has a club. Where I grew up everyone cheered for the Stockholm posh people team. A minority cheered for another team and got beaten up occasionally. I got beaten up by both for not really caring.

I guess I never really got into it. I don't really feel a connection to either the players or the fans of the local teams here.

Then you should have picked some suitably proletarian team from somewhere else (ideally somewhere with some sort of connection with you) and cheered for them instead. Obviously.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Then I don't think you're taking things anywhere near seriously enough. Mind you, it is always an objectively good thing (proven by Science, I believe) to not support the posh club, if there is one.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

O.K, so I want three of the four sides in Group D to lose all their games. Fyck.

What have you got against Sweden? (Or Ukraine?)

I've nothing against Sweden.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Good riddance to fascist rubbish.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

And especially one who is an idiot.

I think that after their recent experiences with idiots, they'll go back to what we were accustomed from them pre-Erikson, ie fullblown cretins.
