I was told I was too small to be a 'keeper...(I'm 5'10", might have a point) so I never really followed up with it. I was acrobatic enough but was a bit sloppy...but I digress.
I don't take back what I said a few days ago about Russia, because they still have some really good players. It's unusual that the groups are done on a head-to-head basis instead of on GD, which is a system that's favoured the Greeks.
However, with this I have solved the Eurozone.
Russia have lots of money from oil and stuff. Greece have no money. Greece sell their QF space to Russia for lots of money. Problem solved
