Great result for them, and like Luxembourg, good to see a lesser side in contention, but it will be tough for them to qualify. They'll have to win in Slovenia next month and still hope for favours. They could do with NI getting an unlikely equaliser tonight. 

 

 

Just been looking at the remaining group fixtures and even though Slovenia and Denmark have 19 points and Kazakhstan have 15 points it still not as bad as it looks as the same night Kazakhstan play San Marino its also Denmark v Slovenia so they'll be closing the gap on at least one of them. One to keep an eye on

Another genius performance from Hjulmand Pardew - 2-1 against the mighty San Marino. Can't wait to see the back of these worthless cunts... Højbjerg, Eriksen, Schmeichel and Kjær. Horrible players.

Just googled him and I want to cave his head in. :lol:

Yeah, it's good news for them that Denmark play Slovenia first, so that Denmark hadn't potentially secured their spot before that match. You'd probably expect Denmark to beat this version of Northern Ireland on the final day, so as long as Slovenia don't win in Denmark, then qualification should at least be in Kazakhstan's hands going into the final round of fixtures, but it will still be asking a lot.

 

It looks like Albania will possibly be the lowliest sounding side to make it, although they did qualify for Euro 2016 (I was at one of their matches), although I've just seen they were actually in Pot 3. Slovakia were in Pot 5, which sounds crazy, and they look set to make it, although I'd personally consider them to be a stronger nation than Albania - these Nations League standings have made for some all over the place groups. Even Turkey were in a lower pot than both Albania and Armenia.

 

Finland in Pot 2 is crazy as well. You could have had a group of:

 

Poland, Finland, Armenia, Faroes, Malta

or

Spain, France, Ukraine/Sweden, Turkey, Slovakia

The worst part about international breaks is the modest football league match on the initial Monday, then no matches on the Tuesday, Wednesday, and also the following Wednesday and Thursday. I definitely miss having a match on, even if it's just on in the background.

Rotherham vs Ipswich postponed due to the weather, so probably just watch the rugby instead.

 

There are a few foreign matches on, like Dortmund on Sky at 7.30pm.

Fuck sake, I was looking forward to watching normal football tonight as well.

Some nice attacking football from Dortmund in moments but their general build up play has been slow until the final twenty yards. Bremen seem to be playing a very defensive set up though so doesn’t say a lot

Isn’t the score board provided by the domestic broadcaster?

I've no idea, but would probably make sense. I guess 'BVB' is a somewhat similar idea, but just more known because of Dortmund's bigger reputation.

It’s gonna be an open game and I think we have more speed, athleticism and guile than they do. Would take a draw but a win is possible if we can go into it 100% after Palace. 
 

Gio Reyna looked really lively when he came on. Hopefully he’s on the bench again.

At home? They are almost 4/1 to win, and it's by far the easiest game on paper of the six. I'd take a draw in Germany, just mainly due to the crowd factor, but I'd be pretty disappointed if we didn't get the 3 points on Wednesday. It would definitely be an opportunity missed.

Liverpool easily have the best attacking quality and depth in the league. Easy win today for them I think.

The fact they can leave a player like Nunez on the bench is scary.  I would love him at the toon.
