Some thoughts:

Group A

Germany are crushing all opposition as expected. It's a battle for 2nd place. Belgium, Turkey or Austria.
I bet Turkey will clinch it, 4 home games left and two away games.

Group B
Three way tie at 10 points between Ireland, Russia and Slovakia.

Group C
Bullshit group, strongest teams Italy, Slovenia and Serbia. Lucky Italians, top of the table.

Group D
France with Evra and Ribery back look strong.

Group E
Netherlands steamrolling all competition. My team will probably make it to the playoffs and then get knocked out by Turkey.

Group F
Greece, Croatia and Georgia are the top three teams that says it all. Go Kaladze.

Group G
Montenegro FTW. After the summer a certain Jovetic will be available again I fear that they might beat England at home. Jovetic - Vucenic VS Terry - Dawson, HA!!

Group H
Portugal shit as always. Norway- two "easy" home games from qualification.
Denmark are in trouble, tough home games against Norway and Portugal.

Group I
Spain, undefeated. The Czechs haven't looked the same since they lost their golden generation (Berger, Smicer, Nedved, Poborsky, Koller and Galásek).
Scotland got a pretty easy group and of course they're not taking advantage of it.

Great result at the weekend for Ireland against the Maco's. We've been to most of the tricky away grounds, and have to play everyone at home now. Not sure if that's a good thing or not mind you.

We're really not very good at all.

We're not very good at all especially if our central midfield is Gibson & Whelan. Having said that we look very organised under Trapp and we'll push Russia and Slovakia all the way. I reckon if we win our next two games away in Macedonia and home to Slovakia we'll qualify.

Poor result for the Danes against Stoke. (Riise is Norways answer to Delap).

Only ourselves to blame for not making better use of the great ammount of possession enjoyed. We'll batter them at home but the Portugal game wil obviously be a tricky one.

That Group F is a bit of a joke isn't it?

Oh and I hope Armenia makes it on behalf of Russia.

Exactly. It's really unfair that Belgium and Turkey have to battle it out for a spot.
Same thing with Denmark, Portugal and Norway.

Ryan we have two home games left (Slovakia and Armenia). Three away ( Macedonia, Russia and Armenia).

The bit where you say" we're really not very good at all" is correct though

Ah apologies, I thought it was 3 home, 2 away.
