Somebody please tell me that England is going to win on Wednesday. *is desperate*

As the Eurocup grows ever-nearer (that's not a word, but that's okay), questions of who will actually qualify arise.

So far, if we take the top two or three (if they're tied in point value) teams from each pool, the list would be as follows:

Finland (11)
Serbia (10)
Poland (10)
Scotland (9)
France (9)
Italy (7)
Turkey (9)
Greece (9)
Norway (6)
Germany (10)
Czech Republic (10)
Republic of Ireland (7)
Croatia (10)
Russia (8)
Sweden (12)
Denmark (7)
Northern Ireland (7)
Netherlands (10)
Bulgaria (8)

What're your thoughts? Who deserves to go in June? Who doesn't?
Personally, I want Spain and Portugal in there, if only for the entertainment value. XD
Also, Russia and Finland both surprised me. I didn't think they'd do so well.

The eight UEFA EURO 2008 stadiums and their preparation are all going well.

Whether it be stadium construction work, renovation or venue-related planning, preparations at the eight UEFA EURO 2008™ stadiums - Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Salzburg and Vienna in Austria; Basel, Berne, Geneva and Zurich in Switzerland - are bang on course.

The Scottish Football Association has started its search for a new national manager following Walter Smith's departure for Rangers FC with chief executive David Taylor hoping to have a new manager in place within four weeks.

Taylor acknowledged the need for a speedy appointment, saying: "We have a special board meeting scheduled for next Monday morning. I don't think there will be an announcement then, but at the very least we will have a priority list of candidates. We would like it done very quickly. We have a B international on 7 February against Finland and all things being equal we would hope to have the new man in place before then."
