Sénégal
Nigeria

Come on Vogue

oh god :P

Just had a quick look at the other teams and realisticly it looks like we'll be fighting against nigeria for 3rd place. They are actually a season older than us and do have some good players so it aint gonna be easy but there is hope as ken has run for the nigeria job :P

Only 4 of the 14 3rd placed teams will qualify this season though so really need to do the double over nigeria and possibly steal a point or 2 from the big 2 in the group.

Well the double over the English will be easy I think :)

Get it sorted Vogue :)

Last results.

Slovensko - France 5:0
USA - England 1:6
Hrvatska - Shqipëria 1:0
Malta - Sénégal 2:0

Intial Thoughts

Well England are an established team, who I hate to say it, but will take 6 points off us and if Slovensko can beat France 5 nil (plus their user base) then they are a very tasty side.

Leaves us against Nigeria, Sénégal & Shqipëria. I think we should be looking for maximum points off these 3, but it isn't going to be easy at all!. Lets hope Sénégal keep their current manager and the other 2 sides give the job to duffers :).

I would expect wins against Sénégal & Shqipëria but I aint gonna take nigeria for granted. They may have a smaller userbas but they are a season older than us and do have some good players and currently a good manager.
I'm just hoping ken can win the election there :P

Its certainly not taking them for granted, but its a side I'd like to think we can beat.

Just beat England mate :P

beat england, who cares about the rest? :p
