I am with you on this one! Does it not seem strange that all the big clubs have had home draws in the FA Cup (except Manu last saturday). I guess its a big con just to have two major clubs playing in the brand new Wembley arena in May. I bet the FA try to fix a Chelsea - Manu final!

I wish Plymouth luck, after a disapointing showing from my Spurs, leading 3-1 at HT, a 3-3 draw was the result, but still at Stamford Bridge, that is a good result, next Monday we shall win at home , Come on Man City, Come on Argyle, Come on Middlesborogh!
That gives us the best chance in the Cup lol.

Greece will be hosting Turkey tonight, for the Euro 2008 qualifiers.
I'm afraid tension is to be expected, I only hope it doesn't turn ugly...

Here's some info from uefa.com

Greece and Turkey have been put together quite often recently. THey were in the same World cup group too weren't they?

The German's and the Czech are another couple who seem to play each other in every tournament.

I think so...

Greece just scored a goal, within the first 5 minutes of the match, I'm more than thrilled, oh I think we can win this!!
Rushing off to watch the rest of it...

just because it would have been difficult to not hear about it or the masses of fans arriving here as well:
England has played an Euro-qualifier here in Israel and only managed to draw

Mon Scoatland!

So, how did it go

The rest of the evening was hell for us, soon after our goal Turkey scored too, and from that point on our team started playing worse than an amateur club! Most of the game was played in front of our goalpost, and our defence was pathetic, the worst player being our goalkeeper and team captain, Nikopolidis.
At some point during the second half I was too upset to watch and stopped, I only watched the goals in replay.
The horrible loss is the first item in the news today.

So, the final score was 1 - 4 and Greece is now 2nd in group C with 9 pts whereas Turkey is 1st with 12 pts.

We drew with Holland last night , a big 1 point for us , very precious it is !
