I have to say; the england-andorra match has GOT to be one of the most pointless mismatches of all time. andorra were HOPELESS.
closely followed by games where any of the following play any inrernational side OTHEr than the following;
norrn ireland
albania
andorra
cyprus
estonia
Faroes
Luxembourg
san marino
leictenstein
kazakhstan
I mean just WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT???
They know they're gonna get tonked every time. It further clogs up players' already nightmarishly crowded schedules, and proves nothing about their more eminent opponents.
UEFa should do a pre-quzalifying tournament for this lot, with the top 2 going through. that way their right top participate is not curtailed - but the reality of the siituation is recognised. |

I reckon we should all look at repatriating. I think I worked out properly with maths and everything once, that if you can get into the team of a decent sized comprehensive school, you should get into the best 20 players of andorra or somewhere like that (can't remember where it was), therefore you'd get a game before too long. |

In two minds really. Yes it would unclutter the fixture list, but its hardly fair and where would you join the line? Andorra, San Marino, Faroes - yes. But Albania or Macedonia for example have some decent players and aren't that bad. You'd be thinking of throwing Wales and Scotland in there too in that case, and that wouldn't go down too well in these parts of Europe.
They'd also have to be some way a nation could get promoted as their footballing status increased.
Then sponsers would hi-jack the 'division 1' nations and it would be Superduper-Sky-Sony-Carlsburg-Euro-Qualifing-League-Championship.
It would have to be well thought out, however this is unlikely to be the case
I'd be tempted to leave it :-/ |

eggs-actly! It's the 90% of the time. every now and then NI or the taffs will pull off a shock win, but then - as a gooner - I remeber york and wrexham, still doesn't mean there's any point in them going straight into the FA cup fourth round |

Not much you can say about Andorra really. Even it's hills aren't really hilly ... no wonder the ski-ing's for beginners  |

switszerland is really interesting, they are right cunts, they got the alps, lakes, glaciers, hash cafes, the best trains in europe, really crap social centres with the 3 punks who live in the city planning the overthrow of capitalism (the revolution starts in switzerland )
and lugano is dead funny cos the 'cool' street is like extreme bigg market, you walk down a mountain rather than a hill drinking much stronger beer  |

all clean countries are generally boring and the swiss are seriously teh most boring people ever. am sorry to say it but they bore me to death, the german speaking ones are better than the french speaking ones but still...  |

sweden is clean and it's boring as fuck. denmark is less clean and also more interesting. germany and britain are even less clean and much more interesting. i'm on to something here
japan is just the exemption that proves the rule really  |
