Yeah, that stoppage time goal Ireland put in against Germany today was awesome. Pretty exciting. |

Watching the Clash of Celts on FS2 right now. It's your typically dour Ireland-Scotland match. Plodding and full of donkey-ball tactics. Germany and Gibraltar is next. Revenge for Das Boot? |

I think it's cool how Northern Ireland and Gibraltar and all those get their own teams. Doe the Isle of Man field a team? We should all pitch in and get one for Terry when he retires. |

I know the Isle of Man has a team from talking to my cousin who is from there. I believe even the Vatican City State field a squad. However, the team has to be a member of UEFA and/or FIFA to participate in these tournaments. Pot 6 in the qualifying has many of the tiniest "minnows" in international soccer: Faroe Islands, Malta, Andorra, Gibraltar, San Marino. They are cannon fodder for the big boys. Some, like San Marino, haven't even scored a goal in any of the qualification matches yet. Gibraltar has 1 goal and has conceded 27 in 5 matches. |

Not many people on hand for the Germany/Gibraltar match. |

So, The Fall of the House of Oranje. Can't even qualify in this watered-down, everyone-gets-a-trophy version of the Euros. Albania, Iceland, Northern Ireland, and Wales all made it. Ireland (the regular one) is in the playoffs. Austria's run surprised me the most. 9 wins and 1 draw in 10 qualifying matches. |

LVG. I'm sure he is laughing his arse off. Sounds like Ronald Koeman is next man up for the Netherlands. |
