European Friendlies 17/11/2010

European Games

A lot of friendlies and two Euro 2012 qualifiers today. Here are the more surprising results:

Germany only scraped a draw against much weaker opponents, but at least they did better than England who lost to rivals France. It was also disappointing for Northern Ireland to lose against African team Morocco.
More happily, Poland beat Ivory Coast, Belgium beat Russia, Georgia beat Slovenia, Bulgaria beat Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Slovakia. In each of these games, the lower-ranked side won.
Similarly, there were draws for Luxembourg, Romania and Liechtenstein against much higher-ranked Algeria, Italy and Estonia respectively.

In the Euro 2012 qualifiers there were no surprises, with Finland destroying San Marino as Croatia beat Malta.
