Sports Update: 12 down, 4 to go - Euro 2008 Qualifiers

Scotland will not be travelling to Austria and Switzerland for the Euro 2008 Campaign after they were defeated by Italy 2-1. Needing a win to qualify in this match, the scots were defeated by a 91st minute Christian Panucci header which ensured that the World Cup finalists France and Italy qualify for Euro 2008

While Scotland had their hearts broken, England were thrown a lifeline when Israel beat Russia 2-1. A Russian Win would have made England Qualification extremely remote. Now England have to beat Croatia and Russia have to beat Andorra and hope that England fail in their last match.

The teams that have qualified so far are: Poland from Group A, Italy and France from Group B, Greece from Group C, Czech Republic and Germany from Group D, Croatia from Group E, Spain from Group F, Romania and the Dutch from Group H making it just four slots up for grabs.

Portugal or Finland from Group A
Turkey or Norway from Group C
England or Russia from Group E
Sweden or Northern Ireland from Group F

In three days time, all qualifiers will be known. Keep your fingers crossed.
