Does Nordic Walking complement Jive Talking? If so it could be a winning combination.

@izzythepush,
I've looked up the title: "Walking -- surveying and evaluating a sport for everybody" (Walking - Bestandsaufnahme und Evaluationsstudie einer Sportart für alle).
So Jive Talking could be included Very Happy

@izzythepush,
I'd say the 3 propping up the table now are the 3 heading for the drop.
Villa, Sunderland & Newcastle.


Ireland 2 - 1 Germany. Oh yeah.

Scotland 1 - 2 Poland. So sad.

@eurocelticyankee,
It's either Ireland or Scotland for the play offs, sod 'em. This is no time for sentimentality, come on Ireland.

@izzythepush,
Tis 50/50.

I'm hoping the Germans have an off day, hah.
We'll know where we stand by this time tomorrow.

Do England get anything for going unbeaten and untied in the qualifiers if they win their next two?

(Perhaps poll position in the next qualifying campaign?)

@Kolyo,
Groupings are decided by Fifa rankings, with the 'strongest' teams kept apart until the knockout stage, but it's very hit and miss. Getting a clean sweep is really good for morale and pride, but that's all it is.

@Walter Hinteler,
I'm very pleased for both Ireland and Poland, (other than the Sikhs, they're the largest ethnic groups in Southampton.) However, I do feel sorry for Gordon Strachan, he did alright by Southampton and was treated appallingly by our then manager Rupert Lowe.

And sticking with the Celtic theme, let's doff our caps to the Welsh, who have made a major football tournament for the first time since '58. Hopefully, they can keep it up and qualify for the World Cup as well. All Hail, Gareth Bale !

@Kolyo,
Northern Ireland finished top of their group as well.

Btw, Gareth Bale is a bit of a dick, judging from those who met him when he was still at Southampton.

...and Wales made the finals of that other football tournament in the UK right now. As did Scotland and Ireland. And France.

The host nation....nah!

Now for the playoffs against the big southern hemisphere teams. Someone has to face the mighty All Blacks before we get to them!

@margo,
There's only one sort of football, and it doesn't involve putting your head between another man's legs.

This illustrates something I was saying earlier: some anthropologist discovers a bit of bone somewhere, and whole theories spring up or get revised.
Now we learn humankind did not arrive out of Africa 60000 years ago, because they were already in China 20000 years before.

I think I'll go and dig up some bone fragments and write me a PhD thesis. It'll be as good as anybody else's.

For 79 minutes on Sunday I dared to begin to believe that we might against all the odds and the bookies and everyone else's expectations actually progress in the rugby championship to the next round.

But the referee and 15 Australians managed in the end to beat 14 gallant Scots.
