Euro 2012 Qualifying

So England have started their qualifying campaign along with Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. I am only going to put posts out about these teams. If you want to know about any other nations results please comment and I will include them in the post. I'm going to start with England and 2 wins out of 2 is just the start we needed to make us forget the world cup. But I still think we need to work on a few things. Now I know we scored 4 against Bulgaria but at 1-0 they looked like they might get back into it. Even after we scored the 2nd we nearly let them in the back door and then we would of had a fight on our hands at 2-1. And against Switzerland we were 2-0 up against 10 men and we let them get a foothold. We might not be so lucky in the actual tournament. On to Scotland and they proved last night that just because Spain are in their group doesn't mean they aren't going to give them a run for their money for that 1 automatic place. At 1-1 against Liechtenstein they could of just excepted the point but these men are Scottish and if they don't get it all they don't want any. So Stephen McManus snatched a late late winner to make sure the Scots went back up north happy. Wales have only played 1 game in there campaign but it did end in defeat. They are in a very tough group with England probably going to take the automatic place and you would expect Switzerland to win the play-off. I Don't see Wales at the Euros but who knows. Republic of Ireland have got a great shout at automatic qualification after 2 wins out of 2. Looking at there group they could quite possibly manage it. And last but not least Northern Ireland. They, like Wales,have only played 1 game and, unlike Wales, have got 3 points. I have had a look at their group and the toughest team is Italy. They might not get the automatic place but if Italy take it then they have got a great chance of winning the play-off. A good start for England and the whole of Ireland. Scotland are still unbeaten and have made the 2nd best start possible. Don't worry if your Welsh you have played a game less than everyone else [except Switzerland] and there is a long way to go yet.
