People do realize that Portugal was one goal away from missing the Euro's too right?

I didn't expect much else from this team, no big shock.

You didn't expect them to qualify? At minimun and with the resources they have, that should be a requisite. Winning the euro's of course it's another story, especially when you have two hosts countries as top seeds, plus Greece(defending champion) and Croatia. So basically due to England's poor coefficient they would be placed on a group of death well they most likely wouldn't reach the qtrs.

3. I'd have taken a win for the England rugby team over the football team qualifying. (Rugby beats football every time for me).

No. We've gone over this already. Football>Rugby. Always.

5. Why does it make Beefy so happy (I don't really care what happens to Spain, apart from Iker)

Beefheart cares about the streets of Vienna being safe this summer.
I won't gloat about Spain since we are on the same train as England when it comes to underachievement, but I really feel good about the team this year. We have arguably the best right back in the world at the moment(Ramos), one of the most dynamic midfielders in Iniesta, Fabregas has taken a step forward, Silva is the future. The only question is will we resort to a 4-5-1 with Torres/Villa alone, Silva/Iniesta on the wings, Arbeloa/Xavi orchestrating things or will we go back to the 4-3-3 which hasn't brought any results.
PS: Stick a fork in Cannavaro, he's done.
