England is the most overrated team ever. They suck man. Says enough Russia qualifies and Israel got as many points as England |

I always find it weird how Israel qualify to play in the European Championships. Russia too, it's mostly in Asia.
I get off the point though - we fully deserved not to qualify, we ave been awful. It just seems weird not to be in a major championship

if Israel were in Asia, you'd have Israel - Syria, Israel-Iran, etc.
not good
therefore, they were "moved" to europe years ago

But given how developed England's football it is, my patriotism would have to be off the scale not to realise just how poor we are...England are the best

the rankings are crap, but still:
Holland 15.7 million, 7th
Portugal 10.8 million, 8th
so it's about time we bash on the chinese

Turkey What a non-sense... It's based on the last WC qualifications and the coming Euro qualifications. Not even considering the results of the last Euro (except for the winner) and the last World Cup...
Something like :
1
Italy
Greece
Austria
Switzerland
2
Netherlands
Germany
France
Portugal
3
Spain
Croatia
Czech Rep.
Sweden
4
Russia
Turkey
Poland
Romania
Would have made more sense... UEFA...  |

italy are the one team we will never beat. against the others we at least have a slight chance. especially given Croatia's goalkeeper and centre-backs.
Austria I want because other than Linz and Ivanschitz, they suck eggs.
Sweden play through the middle the whole day. they do not know how to use the wings.
Russia depend on temperamental players, and they think of themselves far too highly (example:they think Arshavin is more than just average)
Turkey I want because given the current mood around the team they're likely to implode.
