though for me it's going to be "tomorrow's euro qualifiers". Heh.

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 1) 2000/2001

20:00 Faroe Islands 0 - 2 Yugoslavia
a win is not guaranteed, but most likely, and it won't be easy.
20:00 Luxembourg 0 - 2 Russia
I am afraid for some reason. I don't have enough faith in my team. In qualifiers for WC98 we tied Cyprus 1:1 in Cyprus.
20:15 Switzerland 0 - 0 Slovenia
I would like a draw, and these are two reasonably even teams. Some have advatages, some don't, but generally-speaking it is most likely going to be a tie.

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 2) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
18:00 Estonia 0 - 3 Republic of Ireland
Ze Irish are actually surprising me with their results. Oper and Poom might do the unbelievable, but for some reason I feel that ze Irish will control the situation in the game
22:00 Portugal 4 - 0 Cyprus
anybody surprised?

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 3) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
17:00 Czech Republic 3 - 1 Northern Ireland
Czechs are still too good of a team not to beat Norhtern Ireland at home
19:15 Denmark 4 - 0 Malta
No brainer
20:00 Iceland 1 - 1 Bulgaria
Maybe Bulgaria is stronger at the moment, recent results don't make the gap between the teams bigger, only smaller, if do. Iceland plays not bad at home.

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 4) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
16:00 Azerbaijan 1 - 3 Slovakia
Feel that Azerbaijanis have little to overcome such tough opponets, maybe except for the home walls. I'll be cheering for them, but I doubt they'll win.
19:30 Turkey 3 - 1 F.Y.R. of Macedonia
Turkey is Turkey. They cannot afford to draw at home, much like any other strong soccer team in Europe.
20:15 Sweden 3 - 0 Moldova
Same goes to swedes. I doubt there will be a sensation here.

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 5) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
18:00 Armenia 0 - 2 Poland
Poles all the way. They're awesome lately.
18:00 Ukraine 2 - 0 Wales
Finally Ukrainians not only score for the first time in Kyiv since last year, but win a game.
19:00 Norway 1 - 0 Belarus
Same for Norwegians, sometime they should break their loosing tradition. Too bad Belorussian brothers, but I feel this is going the be the Norway's first win in a while.

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 6) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
18:00 Latvia 0 - 1 Croatia
Though Latvians do have some talent, Croats are still better, and that is why their win will only be 1:0.
20:30 San Marino 1 - 5 Belgium
Anyone surprised?

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 7) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
19:00 Israel 2 - 3 Spain
Spain'll win, though Israel had surprised me with results a lot of times..

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 8) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
17:00 Lithuania 1 - 3 Romania
Romanians should win this one... Can't afford to lose points.
20:15 Hungary 1 - 1 Georgia
Two pretty much equal teams.. thus the draw,,

WC 2002 qual. - Europe (Group 9) 2000/2001

07:15 June 6
19:30 Albania 1 - 3 Germany
As much as I like to see how Albanians give a lot of good games nearly making sensations, ze germans will come prepared..
20:45 Greece 1 - 1 England
I feel there'll be a draw, though the way England plays lately, they can win it 5:0 for all we know. We'll see...


yours?

Finished games up-to-date:

Czech Republic 3 - 1 Northern Ireland
Azerbaijan 2 - 0 Slovakia
Armenia 1 - 1 Poland
Latvia 0 - 1 Croatia
Lithuania 1 - 2 Romania

and my predictions were:
17:00 Czech Republic 3 - 1 Northern Ireland
16:00 Azerbaijan 1 - 3 Slovakia
18:00 Armenia 0 - 2 Poland
18:00 Latvia 0 - 1 Croatia
17:00 Lithuania 1 - 3 Romania

AM I GOOD OR WHAT? So far 2 out of 5 were PERFECT.. IF Romania would score one more, I would have 3 out of 5 so far.. AZerbaijanis made a sensation (woo-hoo!), and I thought that Poles would win this one, but they deserve a break with a draw...

Ukraine now beating Wales 1:0 at half-time, if they score another one, another of my predictions will be perfect. Ze Irish are leading 2:0 in Estonia, and if they score another one in the remaining 30 minutes, I will have quite another right prediction.. And, hey! ISrael are winning 1:0 after 17 minutes.. What would that mean? :rolleyes:

Help?

HEHE. Belarus Norway 1-0 at the half time! We're winning! You predicted this one wrong!
We're good this year, becuase our coach won USSR cup with Dinamo Minsk! Wow! I forgot his name. Damn.

Help?

Heh you were wrong about Ukraine! We got a 1-1 draw with them (but the result is no good at all for us)...

5 points from 7 games - how crap! Still we're better than those useless Greeks (who lost to them Sassenach bastards!)...

Help?

Russia won! The first scorer was Alenitchev ;) . Must be not bad day for u Alenitchev (to the guy on this forum). Your country won 6-0 and Russia won 2-1 with a player as a goalscorer ;) ;) ;)

We beat Luxembourg 2:1. WE ARE THE BEST!!!!....... NOT.


for some reason I am not that afraid when we play teams like Yugoslavia, but I get really nervous when we play Luxembourg-type teams... I was actually right, they nearly tied us.

at least our under-21 won 10:0... Though it was Luxembourg, still, that is a small piece of satisfaction.. But our main team scares me, really.. And damn Slovenes beat the Swiss, it would be awesome it it would be a tie (actually, DAMN Henchoz, it was his mistake as I hear)...

cheers.

Sometimes it happens to me too. Because i think when u are playing good team u are not afraid to lose sometimes, becauseu can lose to a good team. But people getting nervous when their tem playing with much worther team, u're getting nervous, because u're afraid of losing to better team. U means most people. Just like in EURO 2000, Italy told that they would better see England in Quaters, before playing Romania, because they won't afraid of losing. And like Man U did for last two years. He lost twice in CL to CL champs!

thatis exactly the reason...

besides, Russia lately cannot play with bad teams... 1:1 with Cyprus, barely beat Andorra 2:1, barely beat Faroe Isles at home, 1:0, barely beat Luxembourg now, 2:1...

that scares me. "If we don't beat Luxembourg, we mustn't go to Korea/Japan because there is nothing for to do there..." quote, Yegor Titov...

Can't stop the rush...
