I really hope they battle it out and finally qualify for a major tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 All joking aside I can't see it happening re file. If we continue to improve at the rate we are then we may have a (very) outside chance of finishing 2nd. BUT, we would then have to play in the play-offs so that would be over. The best Cyprus can hope for is to continue building coefficiant points until we can be in a position to qualify for a European Championships. The structure of the World Cup qualifying (2nd teams in play-offs) prevents Cyprus from ever having a realistic chance of qualifying. The ONLY way that could happen is if Cyprus are inspired enough to finish 2nd then are drawn with a surprise qualifier (like Israel, or Finland, etc). That's just clutching at straws though. My aim is to finish 3rd in this group. I will also say that I have seen Montenegro and they are a very strong small side so they will be a big threat to everyone in this group. If you take Italy out of the equation who would qualify with a B' team I think this will be an exciting group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loup Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Competitive group - Ireland has stunk lately but I'm going to guess that they come back a little and of course Italy is Italy - best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Truly, a competitve group! The only prediction I will make is that Italy will run away with first place. The Republic look good for 2nd place but Cyprus may play spoiler there. An oddity: the flags of the top 4 countries have green and white in them which is a rarity in Europe!

Omonoia9 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Kaiafas is my cousin, haha. But Cyprus can possibly get 2nd. We have Ireland's number, and Bulgaria is beatable. Buckle up, Kypraioi, we just might be joining the Ellines in South Africa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAO_OR_DEATH Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 ...4 out of the 6 nations in this group are majority orthodox. ok Cyprus, Georgia and Bulgaria....I thought montenegro was MUSLIM??? hence their desire to split from SERBIA....

PAO_OR_DEATH Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 actually no i was worng, they have a sepreatist/radical orthodox movement thats anti serbian orthodox or something....quite complecated...but that would explain the split.

Clover22 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Its a shame Cyprus' group didn't end up being easier; they really have an uphill battle and its a long shot. They're a team that can pull off an upset every now and then against major teams. But this is football and anything is possible. It would be great though to see Greece and Cyprus advance to a Euro or a WC. We'll then have 2 teams to root for! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An oddity: the flags of the top 4 countries have green and white in them which is a rarity in Europe! imo Ireland will finish 2nd from bottom in this group, apart from Georgia they're the weakest team in the group.Imo, the group will finish like this: Italy Bulgaria Cyprus Montenegro Ireland Georgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
