Euro 2008 qualification results.

Israel 2 Russia 1
27,000 fans in Tel Aviv saw an enthralling 91st minute win by Israel over Russia.
Scotland 1 Italy 2
For all the build up, Fox Soccer Report's Bobby McMahon was correct in recognizing Luca Toni would be the danger man. There was a surfeit of statements to the tune of "the boys are up for this game" from the Scotland camp before the game, but they obviously weren't as they lost a goal within 75 seconds of the start of the encounter! Italy's skillful Di Natale didn't really look offside when his 'goal' was disallowed, but then we weren't in line with the play. But Scotland have a future given the eight wins. They will have to start turning their defeats into draws in order to make the World Cup finals though.

Lithuania 2 Ukraine 0
Ukraine - where are they now?

Macedonia 2 Croatia 0
As we predicted: a difficult game for Croatia.

Norway 1 Turkey 2
Kudos to Max Bretos for predicting a Turkish victory.

Portugal 1 Armenia 0
What is going on with Portugal? They seem to have slipped from contenders to bar tenders. Armenia unlucky not to have been awarded a penalty.

A few friendly results of note:
Angola 2 - 1 Ivory Coast. A good result for the Angolans.
Senegal 3 - 2 Mali
Tunisia 2 - 0 Namibia
Republic of South Africa 0 - 1 United States of America. The Americans continue to do well - even without Twellman.
Australia 1 - 0 Nigeria. At Fulham's picturesque Craven Cottage Sheffield United's David Carney drove a 30 yarder to win the game for the Aussies only hours after Dutchman Dick Advocaat elected to coach Zenit St Petersburg over the Socceroos.
