Euro 2016 qualifiers

Couldn't find a thread on this so just gonna make a post here.

The qualifiers for the U-21 Euros will finish tomorrow.

Croatia, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Portugal, Slovakia and Spain have all won their groups.

4 2nd placed team will got into the playoffs. Ukraine are done and have qualified. Netherlands and Russia are both done and are currently on 16 points. Iceland play France away tonight and are on 15 points. Italy and Austria are playing Cyprus and Spain and are also on 15 points.
That means Netherlands and Italy are probably through as Netherlands have the best GD and Italy will certainly get 3 points. A draw for Iceland would send them through ahead of Russia. Doubtful but could happen. France beat Iceland 4-3 away and that's half the goals they've conceded so far. So apar
 
What a penalty by Ramos. He showed great nerve and calmness under pressure. Also nice goal by Alcacer.
 
What other CB in the world has the technique of Ramos. He's incredible.
 
Spain still pick Casillas over Big Dave? Ffs sake
 
Is that Owen commentating ? God Almighty, verbal diarrhoea personified. I have my finger on the mute every time he goes on another one of his 'runs'.
 
Today vs Malta, I hope young Halilović and Kramarić will be given a chance from the start.

Probably Rakitić and Modrić again as CMs/DMFs but what can you do.. Niko wont let it go.
 
Interesting formation with Ben Davies playing left wing there, problem is that he and Taylor are so good they both have to be in the team somewhere.

Have no idea why we are playing 4 at the back against Andorra though I suspect it's actually going to be 3-5-2 with Davies as a CB. Good lineup though and hopefully we should win at least 3-0 with Bale getting a few. Andorra will have a packed defence so it might require Bale shooting from 30 yards out to break them down. It's always worrying against these sides until you get the first goal.

 
Think I'll watch Oranje, not the same without the boss in charge but there's two handsome reds starting.
 
I'll be watching Norway vs Italy as these teams are in Bulgaria's group. Good win away at Azerbaijan earlier today and a solid foundation for next month's game against Croatia in Sofia. Goes without saying that I'll be at the stadium :devil:
