Also, any comments on whether the israeli-russia connection between abramovich and grant may 'affect' the game between the two sides: i wouldnt be surprised as both nations are pretty corrupt but you never know.
Penultimately, i actually like to see the scottish, welsh, irish and northern irish sides to do well than england (not in a patronising way) but for some reason i prefer their players who dont seem to be so up their own arses - bar robbie keane and any other spud affiliated player. Good luck to scotland tonight, it would be nice to see franc eor italy not make it either, and altho wales and ireland have been rather poor, be nice to see them have a reasonable result or too. And it would be nice to see n.ireland to do the double over spain!!

Finally, on a more personal note i'd like to see england fail to qualify just to piss off rio ferdinand who hasnt played in a euro championships yet. Ha ha Rio, you've been merked!!
n.b. just like to note that i do want england to qualify, im just not that botehred either way - besides we may get some unbiased reporting during the championships without a half time gossip on how england are doing!!
