Re: Euro 2008 Qualifiers: 11th Oct
I believe that Andorra v Macedonia game has it's own little history as well.
Some of you must remember that a couple years ago Andorra managed to get their first ever victory in official games...vs. Macedonia 1-0 (1-0)...accidentally or not, a large amount of money was on that game in Asia, even on ht/ft bet!
I don't think that history is going to repeat itself this time...Macedonias were on the edge of Fifa investigation re mentioned game, and they're not going to risk this time.
They showed some good performances lately and Macedonians are looking forward for this victory to keep maintaining their little dream, in order to spend winterbreak at the upper top of the table.
Clear away win.
Serbia-Armenia 1
Lousy price...but I'm taking it as a combo booster, same as Netherlands.
Serbia beat Belgium in a tight game,but with numerous attacks and constant pressure.
Zigic and especially Pantelic are in great form, 20000 spectators maybe...it'll be enough for another three pointer.
Armenia aviod the defeat vs. Finland in a last game mainly because of excellent performance of thier magnificient Gk.
Russia for @ 1,25 is acceptable.
They must beat someone in their yard, if not Estonia, then...
Italy, too.
France walk over Gruzia easy, with 3-0.
Don't see any reason that Italians won't do the same thing.
maybe not with such goal difference, but AW in any case.
After lousy start, Italians are back on track , but still with minus 2 points from France and large minus 5 from Scotland.
Scotland is in front of two hard away clashes, first vs. Ukraine and then vs. Italy in March '07.
Ruling World Champion mustn't alloud another humiliation.
Turkey vs. Moldova should be another HW.
I'm thinking about Sweden, too, basing this pick on a quality difference in the first place.
Iceland have lost their only game as host , so far, against Danmark with 0-2.
I rate Sweden better than Danmark, so not expecting an easy win, but maybe low scoring game, Sweden clean sheet...some 0-1 or 0-2.
I'm not ready to experiment anything...so much unpleseant surprises in the last round.
Don't believe that could happend again in just a few days....
