Quite funny how the Media has presented NI being top of their group. Certainly, an achievement but nary a mention that they've played more games than most! Maybe so, but you would think they can beat Liechtenstein, Latvia and the way they are playing Iceland so fingers crossed they can qualify - especially with there striker David Healy he is on fire for Ireland

I dont get how goal difference comes below how you played against other teams when you are on the same points! Surely goal diff should be counted first, then maybe goals scored, then how you fared against each other. We are above russia on goal diff as we have +6 I think and they have +5? Exactly what i was thinking and something i only found out the other night when they were talking about how important goal difference could be if the head to heads are level. It always used to be goal difference then goals scored i thought, so when was it changed? And as already mentioned, it can't be head to head as we got a draw against Israel and havent played Russia yet!

And i agree why wouldn't the media go on about NI being top of thier group, they would if it was England. After the years of poor football from NI this is a massive achievment for them.

Anything less is a dismal failure. Therefore, the fuss tends to happen when we're doing badly (ie now). Still, it's a great achievement by the Northern Ireland boys. They deserve all the praise they're getting and I really hope they qualify.

More qualifiers today, although Wales are the only home nation to be playing. Toshack has billed their game against Czech Republic as a "must win", optimistic maybe, but it's 0-0 after half an hour. Also in their group, Germany play at home to San Marino... now, it was 14-0 away, so what about at home? Count the goals from 6pm. One result so far, from the dregs of the 8-team Group A: Kazakhstan 1-2 Armenia

In Norn Iron's group, Denmark have come back from 3-0 down at home to Sweden, and are currently drawing 3-3 in the closing minutes! But they have had a player sent off...

That Denmark-Sweden game seems to still be going on after 12 minutes of injury time The sending-off was on 89 mins, so that could have caused some problems... the LiveScore.com site currently says "Susp." next to the game instead of the usual "90'" or "FT"

Bizarre - the Denmark-Sweden match wasn't finished - it was abandoned From uefa.com: - With a minute of the 90 still to play the match has been abandoned and the result will now be confirmed following an investigation by the UEFA Disciplinary Committee upon receipt of the referee and delegate reports. - The final whistle is blown. 89 Poulsen (Denmark) is dismissed.

Copenhagen contest called offAn investigation is to be launched after referee Herbert Fandel abandoned the UEFA EURO 2008™ Group F game between Denmark and Sweden in Copenhagen tonight. With the score level at 3-3 in the closing stages and a penalty awarded to Sweden after Christian Poulsen's dismissal, a supporter ran on to the pitch and appeared to strike the official. The result of the Group F contest will be confirmed following an investigation by the UEFA disciplinary committee upon receipt of the referee and delegate reports. Two goals from Johan Elmander and another from Petter Hansson had put Sweden 3-0 up only for Daniel Agger, Jon Dahl Tomasson and Leon Andreasen to draw the home team level. ----- Presumably it was a Danish fan. Bet they don't have a fallback for this in the rulebook
