Group 7: BELGIUM 8-0 SAN MARINO San Marino played most of the game with 10 men. Belgium still have a mathematical chance of qualifying...

Group 8: HUNGARY 0-1 SWEDEN A last-minute Ibrahimovic goal sends Sweden to the top of group, a point clear of Croatia. Sweden will qualify if they beat Croatia next month.

Northern Ireland deserved the win - England were awful. truly spoken. i mean, we had owen back! so why 4-5-1? it didn't do much for us against wales... if what they've been saying about beckham's "influence" is true, sven must have all the spine of an octopus! absolute, absolute crap!

Disappointed that France beat Ireland. And Switzerland's win. Two draws would have been much better for Israel.
Maybe England can be in Israel's group next time. Then I can laugh when Israel win.

Group 7: SPAIN 1-1 SERBIA & MONTENEGRO Mateja Kezman equalized Raul's first-half goal to keep the Serbs at the top of the group. It was the first goal they'd conceded in the qualifying campaign. The result gives Bosnia a great chance of making the playoffs, especially with their next game being against San Marino.

I can say that it was the worst I have seen England play in a major tournament game for a long time. The only other two that I remember being as bad as that were both in Norway, in 1981 and 1993 and both games England lost.
They went out like it would be a formality. They hadn't done their homework, got more than they bargained for in an opposition and were clueless in building up a decent attack. Yes, you can probably blame the system, though I think some of our players are overrated. England played well in Euro 2004 against Switzerland and Croatia. Why couldn't we play today like we played against them?
