Congratulations

[Tom]

Just like to say Congratulations to all the teams who managed to qualify for the Euros next summer, gutted we can't be there but as they always say, the tables never lie.

So yeah, big well done to Russia and Croatia for beating us since, well, on paper it looked like an easy group. Also, big well done to Poland, Greece and Turkey - probably not all expected to go through but some decent performances have got you there, well done.

Also, as a UK fan, big commiserations to Scotland and Northern Ireland who put up such brave fights to get through, especially the former, having been put in France and Italy's group.

So congratulations to everyone who got through, and even though we aren't there, i already can't wait to see the kind of spectacle Austria/Switzerland put on, should be good! Roll on 7th June!

It'll be different without England for sure but this is the beauty of football - nothing is 100% certain and you can't predict anything. The easiest games become the hardest and vice versa.

I'm really surprsised to see Croatia do that well. They last time they presented this level was back at the 98 world cup.

Everybody put a good fight and were so close. Scotland, Bulgaria, Finland, Norway, Serbia etc...

Thanks you man

I will miss england there, no Football event is complete without the big 12 or so footballing countries in the world, and England missing is just not cool...but; gotta move on

Tom, big respect to you man, you're so gracious even in such a travesty of a defeat. I really wanted you guys to go through; I was in tears when Russia made it instead.

I was in tears when Russia made it instead.

Only for the sake of it Russia just had to qualify - to make you cry

A Euro Championships where the pundits have to be fair... a game without breaking to see what toothpaste Fwank Lampard used in the morning...

This is a dream, isn't it?

Nah man, you know better than anyone that it's more than that lol

It sucks that we're in the same seeding pool tho (:/) But that just means we'll have to beat you in the knockout stages, if you get that far of course.

 

[Jaboldinho]

Congratulations to every1 who made it to EURO, I just feel a bit gutted for my team. Not the match against Portugal yesterday, no, I really didn't think we would beat them home, but those couple easy games against Azerbaidjhan and the couple other "weaker" teams. If we had made it there, we would be in the EURO, but what can you do?...

As I said, gratz!*claps*

 

[Tom]

The tables DO lie. There's no way we deserve to go to Euro 2008.

Haha! Class.

Oh and Den

 

[DRUN]

Count on indicator panel!!!

 

[Johnny_Big]

I really feel bad for England fans.

I will miss to beat the crap out of you in the penalties.

 

[b-ytter]

Euros without England,is like breast without nippels!
(:/)

 

[Theodorakis]

damn, Tom

 

[Hepoas]

I have now thought about our qualifying. Im glad that Norway have been so good since last qualifying. (Lost to Spain in the play-off). Next time Im sure we will make it. This year we were close, and if we just had won over Bosnia at home we would been there.

Congrats to everyone who did make it.

PS: I also wants to apologize for things I did yesterday. I'm really sorry, I was just so sad. I know I shouldn't write things on this forum then, and try to be an adult. So, again sorry!

 

[Kimikal™]

Thank you, Thomas and Hepoas, in the name of all the Romanians.

I must admit, Euro without England is like MotoGP without Valentino Rossi . I watched the entire match and when I saw the 2-0 goal, I knew that England will at least equalise, and they did it! But Croatia were better, showed some professionalism and won even if they were already qualified.

Congratulations to all the countries that qualified and to the rest of the teams which played in the qualifiers, especially Scotland , they fought with the finalists of the last World Cup, respect!

 

[hennersislegend]

It's sad to see England fail to qualify but I guess it was needed
If we scraped through no-one would care that we've played crap, now we NEED to fix things, and it was nice to see the monotony of qualifying broken up a bit, last time it was Latvia with the shocks, this time it was so nearly Scotland and Northern Ireland, still roll WC 2010 with Jose in charge!

 

[Filipower]

you weren't getting to far anyway

but yeah, england should be there, it's just no EURO if the top teams aren't involved...

 

[emmer]

cut that crap out, england is not there because it's not a top team.

 

[Filipower]

oh you know what i meant..
