Qualifying for such a venue is nothing to frown at, considering the fierce competition. *sigh* If only my own national team was at least half as successful as the Romanian these days...

(Snow! They are onto me! Think up some imaginary country to get them off your trail!)
I am from ...eh... Finnland? (Like they would believe that! Obviously such a place doesn't exist!) It's somewhere between umm... Russia and ... Sweden?(Yeah, right!)
Screw that, they'll find out anyways! I dare you to catch me! Right now I'm in my homeland, in glubdhubsdjd....

lol, you're a funny guy
Also, you speak english so well that I would have bet my life on a nickel that you're british, or american
Finland... meh, I don't know what to think of this country as I've never had any connections with it, or interest in it. I only know that I have liked Litmannen when he's played for Ajax some 20 years ago.
Oh, I also know that sniper guy who's had some 400 (or was it 600?) kills with his sniper rifle (sorry, don't know his name).
That's pretty much all I know about Finland xD .... and yeah, you're not really a footballing powerhouse, but... don't give up! With the craziness happening in football in the last decade you never know when you get your chances.... Isn't Eremenko jr. playing for Finland? I don't remember....

Nah, mate, I was just pulling your leg. I am not actually from Finnland (given that such a state actually exists).
In truth, I am a fellow citizen of UTC+2. Having heard that, you can now easily assess the condition of my national team.
It ain't pretty.

How are your national teams holding up in the EU qualifiers so far this evening? Mine started well, even scored (wow!), but then they conceded a goal and pretty much had their backs to the wall during the reminder of the first half. We started the second part dynamically, but our defence was pathetic and right now we are trailing 2:1.
The Count
EDIT: Honestly, we are lucky to have lost 2:1. It should have been more.

so, you're from... bulgaria?? If so, your country is not as unimportant or small as you're trying to make it seem. It's as big (or as small, either way) as mine
Anyway, looking through the scores of tonight's matches to figure out your nationality I can see that we drew Norway 2-2, but I don't know how well "we" played cause I don't support this corrupt Romanian team. The last footballer (Cristi Chivu) that I have prided myself with has last played 15-20 years ago, and since then we've only been going downhill

So you don't follow Romanian football in the present at all monere? Oh well, it's your choice. I won't judge you for it.
Romania played okay in the 2nd half and we managed to comeback from two goals down which is always nice. Still a long way to go for qualification but it's a decent result.

yes, I don't follow it at all. Also, I don't mind you judging me. You're a nice guy and nice guys have their rights
Also, comebacks are always nice when it's your team that pulls them, especially against a country like Norway (for some reason Romania has always struggled against nordic and/or compact teams - like Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland a.s.o - throughout the history)

It's true that you aren't the most accomplished team, but you did manage to qualify for the last European championship (we haven't played on one since '02, and then we got thrashed by everyone) and lately you play a lot better than us. I mean, look at our last fixtures! For the last 5 years we've struggled to beat even football dwarves like Malta and Luxembourg! Most of our wins are due to sheer luck and "park the bus" tactics. I cannot recall the last match where we were in control of the game.
Well, enough complaining, being too pessimistic won't get us anywhere, though believing blindly that we'll suddenly fare better, despite a lack of promising young players (save for maybe one or two), is frankly stupid. Personally, I feel that the Romanian team actually has potential, unlike ours (not in the next 10 years, anyway).

I actually don't know what potential we have because I've stopped following our corrupt football a decade ago.
Also, yeah I agree that struggling against Malta and Luxembourg is not good for your image, but then again, there are no small footballing nations anymore. I mean, Feroe has defeated Greece 2-0 if I remember correctly, and Feroe would lose 8-0 / 9-0 / 10-0 / 11-0 to ANYONE a decade ago. THAT far has football come over the last decade with the help of tactics and braver.... match fixing

Well mah Polish team, as always in spite of having potential, plays like s*it. I know we're getting points, but watching the team makes your eyes bleed...
And Finland does exist, I frequently visit there as part of my job. Reindeer meat is ok I guess Their jelly beans (and generally sweets) are something else though Their soccer team is weak on the other hand...

well, they just defeated B&H 2-0 which - even though not a footballing powerhouse themselves - are better than Finland on paper. Besides, Finland has always been a decent team after 2000. Litmanen has really inspired this team to aim high and every now and then Finland does pull noticeable victories, which is something that not many (supposedly) underdogs do
EDIT: as for Poland... what can I say? You get your points, that's all that matters. I bet that Romania would sacrifice the pretty style (which they don't have anyway) for those delicious points if they could

Turkey - France 2-0
I love it when results like that happen. And I have heard enough of how great the French team is. This ought to bring them back to reality.

I've never said they are great. On the contrary... a hyped up footballing nation which has had 3-4 really good footballers and that's about it.

I wasn't referring to you, monere, and I totally agree about their hype. But for some fans only the world title matters.
In the meantime there's the final of the Nations League tomorrow. Portugal vs Netherlands should be good even though the competition was just made to replace some of the friendly matches.

yeah, I know that you weren't referring to me but I felt the need to give my opinion
I have no idea how the Nations League works, nor do I care, but I'll root for the Dutch simply because I dislike the Portuguese more than the Dutch

Bulgaria - Kosovo 2:3
I don't seem to remember the last time they played so poorly... if we don't count last time... or the time before that... or any match in the last 10 years.
In truth, Kosovo should have beaten us at least 5:2.
OK, now I'm convinced Kosovo is Serbia.

I have bet that you lead at HT
EDIT: Also, I'm not sure that Kosovo is Serbia, because... you know... Serbia has been demolished in Ukraine, whereas Kosovo... um... something ^_^
