Scottish Mag 3 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 With us coming up to a week of international football and some important games for the home nations, which sides if any do you see qualifying for the next Euro Championships or who is going to be glorious in defeat?

Jimbo 175 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I hope for Newcastle United's sake that England do not crash and burn, if Mike Baldwin gets the sack, Big Sam will be one of the clear favourites for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I would like to see Scotland and Northern Ireland qualify but not England just because the England obessed media would then have to give them a mention (and to avoid any further Owen injuries)!

bassplayerjj 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'd love to see Scotland qualify being half scottish and all =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 5829 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Northern Ireland, can they still qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 17026 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Northern Ireland, can they still qualify? Aye, definitely. Next two games are Latvia and Iceland away - potential banana skins, but if they could get 4 or even 6 points out of them, they'll be looking really good.

JawD 99 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Ive got a soft spot for Scotland and NI, though not so much Wales. Strange as I have little interest in Internationals and while Id like to see England go through, Im more concerned about the plight of our players while they are away.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'd rather see England go out now before they embarrass themselves any further, they're shit, keeps our players fit as well. Even if Porcelain boy does get the boot I can't see Allardyce leaving us just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 93 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 couldn't give a fuck. Â as long as any toon players aren't injured then thats all tha matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I'd really like to see all the home nations qualify ideally (although I'd also kinda like a GB team really even if just for the Olympics). Â Although I suspect if England do and Scotland don't then the referendum on independence will be a clear yes vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySol 75 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 If people are saying they wouldn't like England to qualify, its ridiculous, except if they support another country of course. If you call yourself a true supporter you would back your country through thick and thin. I will always want England to qualify. Hope Northern Ireland qualify as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Northern Ireland qualify as well  But thats it a lot of us aren't true supporters of England  in the old days, yes I really was a supporter of England, I shed a tear along with Gazza in 1990. But these days something's changed big time (blatantly inept managers and playboy players). The media obsession always makes a part of me hope that they lose every game and I cant see that changing in the near future. Obviously once they have qualified for a competition I want them to do well. Well thats assuming there's some players in the team who i give a fuck about anyway.

Asprilla 96 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The biggest England fans are those who support lesser teams IMO (Championship down). I used to be much more supportive of the England team....Euro '96 was probably the pinnacle...but since then we've been disappointing in big tournaments while the players have become more hyped.

acrossthepond 1039 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Looking to see England lose badly. I am an England supporter and it would be hard to see us lose, but I believe it's for the best. "Magnificent" Steve must go sooner rather than later and big losses here will have him sacked faster than that Torquay manager. Â I remember a similar debate around the Blackburn home game last year - can a true fan hope for Newcastle to lose? And I say now as I said then, yes, if it's for the good of the team.

spongebob toonpants 4656 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Despite improvements there are enough England fans who travel to tournaments who are ignorant violent xenophobic meatheads to remind me why I lost interest in England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Seeing as I live in Switzerland, I'm desperate for England to qualify. Any major international tournament wouldn't be the same without England (or Germany, Italy, France for that matter) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
