    Might be worthwhile to have a thread for the other games going on as there are some interesting ones about.
    England vs Denmark

    Poland vs Scotland (two of our group opponents here)

    Wales vs Iceland

    Spain vs Italy (at 9 pm tonight on Sky Sports 1)

    These are some of the eye-catching ones I'd say. Georgia, another group opponent, beat Liechtenstein 2-0 earlier.

    NI have been held to a 0-0 draw away to Cyprus. That match is now finished. Gareth McAuley was sent off for them.

    From BBC:
    That's 10 away friendlies without a goal for Northern Ireland, a run stretching back to 2006

    Ouch.

    Brazil beat South Africa 5-0. Neymar with a hat-trick; Oscar and Fernandinho with the rest.

    Germany 1-0 up at half time vs Chile, the away team have been the better side imo.

    Half-time in the Poland vs Scotland game. Score is 0-0.

    England are terrible - like Liverpool playing in molasses (ie like 2010) and Rooney can't shoot for toffee (three or four poor attempts), he's not the only one though.

    Yap England are brutal to watch. Rooney has been awful

    On the bright side for England their WC opponents Uruguay are losing 1-0 away to Austria at the moment. Austria aren't a bad side though.

    France are leading the Dutch 2-0 at half time. Benzema and Matuidi on the scoresheet.

    Germany doesn't have a great game either, but they are still 1-0 up against Chile. Chile playing very good, just can't score even if their life depended on it.

    But Germany is still missing a whole lot of players with Sami Khedira, Ilkay Gündogan, Thomas Müller, Sven Bender, Mats Hummels, Julian Draxler all being out with injuries, and some of others like Ozil, Podolski and Schweinsteiger either out of form or just coming back from injuries.

    Scotland get a 1-0 away win against Poland. Scott Brown with the goal. The Scots will be very pleased after tonight's games.

    Germany beat Chile 1-0.

    Gibraltar lose 2-0 to Estonia.

    Wales beat Iceland 3-1. Bale on the scoresheet for the Welsh.

    Australia were 3-0 up against Ecuador but Ecuador have made it 3-3. Still time left in that one.

    I've seen clips from the Brazil game, but one they have Yellow Jerseys and in the other Blue?

    Did they change at halftime?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,640 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Ecuador get a goal in stoppage time to beat Australia 4-3 having been 3-0 down at half-time.

    Silva bossing the second half for Spain. Motta goes off moments are being in a bit of pain. Prob pre-cautionary.

    Pedro makes it 1-0!

    Gareth Bale was absolutely ridiculous at times for Wales tonight.
