Euro 2008 qualifying

[Pajo]

This saturday, on one of my favourite stadiums Old Traford, there will ne playing England : Macedonia!!! I hope for a draw, and who knows, we may get it.
Cozzi, what is your prediction about this game. Maybe you'll go on Old Traford and watch the match? May the best team win...

PS: Vasovski is said to be linked with New Castle, is it true? He sais he will be playing with all his heart to attract the intention even more...

Today played Chez Republic U21-Bosnia U21 quallifie game for Euro, we lost 2:1 but we played pretty good, only GK was awfull, revenche is on Tusday, hope we can succed.
Only wory is that two very impotant players gain second yellow(caption Ibrcic AM) and Maksumic(key DM).

Portugal is up to a double journey, today in Portugal against Azerbaijan and on Wednesday we will travel to Poland. Scolari came to the press and he stated our objective for this double, and that objective is to get 4 points, he doesn't care how, but he would prefer a home victory.

I'm hoping for 2 wins, our players are getting better by the day and we can play almost at full power against these 2 teams, I think that we can use the recent great form from C. Ronaldo and Tiago to help the team do better. I will be a bit disappointed if we don't win them both but I think that it won't be a problem.

 

[Pajo]

Don't worry Pedro, I think thos two wins are almost guaranted for Portugal.

Anyway, tonight is the night. Our players are optimists about the gama, so am I. I hope we can get something in the game against England. And vs Andorra is guaranted win. We must win in that one. FORZA MACEDONIA!!!

 

[Wittmann]

I'm hoping for some kind of upset in England, too..Anything but a win for England would be a big surprise, I won't mind it though..

Croatia have an easy task tonight..We play Andorra, maybe the weakest NT in Europe..

 

[cozzi]

Hey Pajo mate its nearly kick off.

No disrespect to your country but i think we will win today. But we have a few problems. Rooney is out of form and we have no Hargreaves. Ferdinand is out (YES!!!!) so King is playing. Watch out for the worlds number 1 striker Crouch getting a few goals today.

But i still remember the last time your boys were in England and i hope there is no draw again today

Anyway i hope its a good game.

 

[Pajo]

Normally cozzi, you have toughts opposite of mine. I also think that England is big favourite in this game, espetially coz the play on Old Traford, but still, I have high hopes about this game. I hope we can get that wanted draw. Our coach Katanec is even speaking about a win. We'll see thought...

And Croatia has easy task indeed. Andorra has weak team, but don'd underastimate tham. I expect 3-4 goals by Croatian NT.

Good luck to all of you... May the best teams win!

What a great game by Slovakia today. We smashed Wales 1-5

14' Dušan Švento (his first goal for NT)
32' Marek Mintál
38' Marek Mintál
51' Miroslav Karhan (something for those who think he is finished - :finger
59' Róbert Vittek

Surprising score, Wales is always dangerous at home. Now we have to prepare (mentally) for Germany. We are still alive and everything can happen in Group D.

SLOVENSKO DO TOHO!!!

 

[Pi]

These games are not what they used to be, the big teams have to work hard to get the first goal, but when (and if) they do it all becomes a lot easier. About the England vs. Macedonia, I honestly think that Macedonia may have a chance to get a draw a win is almost impossible (sorry Pajo). England doesn't look very on form at the moment but let's see.

Good luck to all the teams and may the best teams win.

P.S.: Congratulation Michal, great win by Slovakia, they played Portugal in the last World Cup qualifying (or was it before?), and they gave us a few troubles, I think that your team is growing, I wish them the best.

Thank you Pedro, last qualification (for WC in Germany) we finished 2nd behind your team. Then De Santis destroyed our hopes in play-off against Spain. Our NT coach became MP and governmental officier so I am afraid he will resign after Germany game.

macedonia i totally outplaying england right now...in old traford..lol...

 

[Pajo]

So far so good... We are playing great, much, much better than England. Cozzi my friend, you have to admit it... One chance for England, Lampard had it, but our GK Nikolovski made great save. And we had few decent chances, espetially in 10th minute, when Pandev hit the outside of the net.

England is playing 4-4-2, while Macedonia 4-3-1-2. Well, it's more like 4-4-2 diamond, with Pandev as playmaker and A. Mitrevski as holding midfielder.

Well, 15 minutes break, than again some action... England will probably push Macedonians on their own half, so that means we have chance from counter attack. Let's see what will happen.

PS: Michal, congratilations for the win mate, five goals in Wales net. Great job...

 

[cozzi]

Yeah Pajo i agree so far. You are the better team in the first half.

I give you credit, you come to England and play 2 strikers. This is brillaint and team must always play 2 up front. Macedonia remind me of Greece who won Euro 2000. Although you dont have any real 'superstar' you have 11 good honest players who work like Trojans and give everything you have. You deserve ALOT of credit for this.

Anyways 2nd 1/2 about to start.

C'mon England

ooohhh and do you find the band we have annoying???

 

[Pajo]

Wow, what a game!!! This was like some all time derbie. Some much emotions were in this game by both England and Macedonia. Like Brazil - Argentina...

0-0... That is the score, the most realistic score... Both teams had their own chances, both teams were playing open, great football. I was impressed by our NT.

What I didn't like was that the English p;ayers didn't throw out the ball when our striker Stojkov was requesting help. It was unfair. I tought English ppl were gentelman. Anyway, everything was in perfect order.

The man of the match should be voted our GK Nikolovski... He made some great, hard saves, and he deserved to be mand of the match. Without him, we would've lost...

Oh, and one more thing... What was happening to the English fans? Our 300 fans were louder shouting "MAKEDONIJA" and "SAKAME POBEDA" than all Old Traford...

 

[Pi]

Great result for Macedonia, England proved that they aren't at top shape. The most surprising result until now has to be Scotland's win over France, I was sure that France would get at least a draw.

 

[cozzi]

LOL yeah good one Pajo. Seriously though you should be very happy with Macedonia. I thought they played very well and you deserved at least 1 point. No complaints from me whatsoever. It was a fair score.

LOL English people are gentlemen but in our country we have a new rule that means you dont kick the ball out when a player gets injured. It was meant to stop cheats falling over all the time, but your right for this injury we should have kicked it out.

Your fans were great to and they were outsinging us at some times.

But now we have to to Croatia to play Witmans boys next. Another difficult match, but we must play better than tonight.

Well done Pajo, enjoy the point. You should be very happy to be Macedonian today.

And well done to Scotland. Beating France 1-0. If they win the group, either France or Italy wont make Euro 2008. That would be a major surpirse.

take it up ur ass u freaking english "gentelmans"...i cant belive they didnt throw the ball out when macedonian player got injured..such bastards..cow's...well...what can i say..macedonia was playing like they are the home team.not affraid at all.katanec is doin wonder with that team..and im soo happy that england got what they deserved..and btw..whoever sais england were the better team,he's lying..i would say 50-50..and give a slight advantage for macedonia..just beacouse they were playing away...go macedonia...i havent seen macedonian nt play for like 4 yrs now..and i must admit i was surprised how much they progresed..good jod.who we play next pajo?..

 

[Pajo]

Next we play Andorra... It is a must win for us, and I believe that we will win it. If we play all matches like tonight, I say that we might even go though. It would be historical moment for us. as for hte other games, I think we can get good result vs Croatio on Gradski, and maybe a draw away. We are in good form, that's all i can say, and that Katanec is really doing great.

On Slovenian... He doesn't know Macedonian, and I don't know if he is learning. Why?
