I'm beginning to see where Hodgson's lauding of the recent United - Chelsea nothingfest came from.

This is an achievement? Sod off ITV. England were far more convincing in qualifying under Sven and Capello.
2 games left in most groups
Group A - Belgium and Croatia guaranteed top 2. They face each other next. Belgium will qualify with a point. Lose then they just have to bear Wales at home.
Group B - Italy are through. One point between Bulgaria in 2nd and Denmark in 3rd. Czechs and Armenia have an outside chance 4 points further back. Should be sorted next game as Bulgaria face Armenia and Denmark have Italy.
Group C - Germany are through. Sweden in 2nd 3 points ahead of Austria. They face each other in Sweden next. Winner takes all IMO.
Group D - Holland are through. Hungary a point ahead of Turkey and Romania. Romania has the easier run in as the other 2 have to play Holland.
Group E - Switzerland on the brink. Between Iceland, Slovenia and Norway for the play off.
Group F - Russia and Portugal guaranteed top 2. Russia should win it as they have 2 minnows left.
Group G - Bosnia and Greece level on points. Bosnia have a far superior goal difference and 2 winnable games. Should qualify.
Group H - England top and have 2 home games to confirm their place. Ukraine should get 2nd
Group I - Spain and France confirmed top 2. Level n points but Spain have a game in hand with 2 home games.
I wouldn't have known any of that without your summary.
I get more of my football fix from GW than Sky, BBC or any other site.
No mean feat....Lose then they just have to bear Wales at home.
