0-0 between Ireland and Denmark. Who will be happier with that? Denmark IMO. An away goal in the next leg puts them at a big advantage.
Do away goals count extra if tie is level? I hate that rule
Generally, i think its a very good rule - brought in in the early days of the 2 legged European cup games to try to entice away sides (mostly Italian) out of their own half and not parking the bus looking for a 0-0. It does make for a more entertaining game normally.
Good piece on away goals here and the effect it's had on two legged ties
This pitch might be a bit of a leveller. The Swiss really should be ahead though. Would have been interesting to see Josh at this level as I’m one of those who likes him but thinks he’s at his level in league 1.
Really getting pissed off with Gerry Armstrong biased commentating. Swiss miss by a whisker and it's a good foot wide. Up the other end a good yard wide is so agonisingly close.

In my eyes a World Cup is not a real World Cup if any of Brazil, Argentina, Germany or Italy are missing. I desperately hope Italy get through tonight. The atmosphere in the San Siro will be amazing. Really looking forward to watching this tonight.
i never get this about certain teams not qualifying, Italy haven't been a force for a long time, admittedly there group was a 2 horse race in which they came 2nd, but sweden are hardly unreal.
of course i would take italy over a team like serbia being in the comp.
if england win it LOL and italy werent there it would still be a real world cup to me.

I believe that the teams that do best in qualifying being there makes it a real world cup.

Why?
scummy fans could well send a few England boys home in boxes, also would like to see buffon in what would surely be his last world cup

Exactly. I wonder if the same people feel that teams like Huddersfield shouldn't be in the Premier League or none of the 'big six' should ever be relegated.
