Group 1
Armenia 2-1 Andorra
Czech Republic 4-3 Finland

Fantastic match beween the Czechs and Finland! Finland didn't have the lead at all, but they came back from 2-0 and 3-1 down to be drawing 3-3 with 10 minutes remaining. Lokvenc finished them off with a few minutes remaining to send the Czechs temporarily top of the group. If Holland beat Romania - they're currently leading 1-0 at half-time - then they'll return to the top.

Armenia and Andorra are joint bottom with 4 points - they're playing for the wooden spoon along with Macedonia.


Group 3
Estonia 1-2 Slovakia
Liechtenstein 1-2 Russia

Slovakia had to come back from a goal down to draw level with Portugal at the top of this group. Russia are 3 points behind them both. This group is definitely between these 3.


Group 6
England 4-0 Northern Ireland
Poland 8-0 Azerbaijan
Wales 0-2 Austria

Convincing wins for England, Austria and Poland! Poland remain a point behind England, but now have a vastly superior GD. If we can do the same to Azerbaijan on Wednesday, then the GD gap will be reduced. I expect Poland will beat Nothern Ireland and Austria should be able to defeat Wales again.


Group 8
Bulgaria 0-3 Sweden
Croatia 4-0 Iceland

Sweden and Croatia are looking like they'll run away with this group.. Both have been very very strong.
