Euro 2012 Qualifying, Group G: The Tenuous Throne Of Montenegro
How Things Were, Before Friday: England had asserted control of the group with a win at Switzerland while Montenegro, even on points, had kept-up with two 1-0 wins. The Welsh and Switz, both second place aspirants, were left without points after their first match, with Wales changing coaches after the September break.
Where They Stand, Now: Though they have played only two matches, Switzerland and Wales may be too far behind Montenegro, with a five team group meaning two fewer matches to catch-up. Meanwhile, the Montenegrans sit atop the quintet, and while that could start to go south Tuesday in London, they’ve still put up 270 scoreless minutes to start qualifying.
Question That Will Define The Group, Going Forward: Can Montenegro hold serve in their four post-London matches?
Predicted Order Of Finish:
- England
- Montenegro
- Switzerland
- Bulgaria
- Wales
