Didn't realise how much time he had I think.

Surprised how well Georgia are playing so far.

They are a strange team, especially at home. Their games are often on at 5pm so often get the chance to watch them before most games start at 7.45. Remember them beating Scotland in the Euro qualifiers. I know that's not unheard of, but they do seem one of the hardest 2nd last pot teams you could draw. They also drew in Wales in this campaign.
 
Tadic equalises, big goal for Serbia can't afford to be dropping points to Moldova and Georgia.
 
Going to watch the Spain-Israel game next I think, might switch to the Ireland game if Spain win easily.

I'm going to watch the Ireland game, but that one you'e watching looks 1 of 3 big games tonight with Croatia-Ukraine being the other. Tight group that one, a bit like Wales', although if Ireland win then they and Serbia will look good for top 2 finishes.
 
I see Iceland lead in Kosovo. Kosovo are a really interesting addition to the qualifiers. They are in the 6th pot but they do look a million miles away from your Gibraltars, Andorra's, San Marino's etc. If you look at their team they have many playing in the Swiss, Turkish and Dutch top flights plus 2nd tiers of England, Germany.

A few more of these qualifying campaigns and it wouldn't surprise you if they evolved into a Montenegro type who would generally finish 3rd and 4th and maybe be within a shout of the playoffs. They were well beaten by Croatia, but they did manage a draw in Finland.

I was just about to say they've had 63% possession, but Iceland have just scored a second from the spot, Sigurdsson from the spot. Thought he got the first, but it was Sigurdarson.
