You keep underestemating our squad despite the fact that we play with special motivation against big names like England,Croatia,Holland etc.
About tonights match...it was pissing down,horrible pitch conditions but our guys gave their hearts out there...Full stadium,great fan support.The mighty Croats left with the tails between their legs...and packed their bags for Ausria/Switzerland

tbh no amount of under estimating really gets down to the level you really are compared to Croatia, etc. Granted you might have good support, but on the day you shouldnt get any sort of result against any top team.

Mutual matches Macedonia - Croatia
Euro 2008 Qualifying
Macedonia Croatia 2: 0 18.11.2007
Croatia Macedonia 2:1 24.03.2007
Friendlies 2004
Macedonia Croatia 0:1 28.04.2004
Friendlies 2003
Croatia Macedonia 2:2 09.02.2003
Euro 2000 Qualifiers
Macedonia Croatia 1:1 05.06.1999
Croatia Macedonia 3:2 14.10.1998
I don't understand why shouldn't we get any points against big teams?In modern football there are no clear favourits anymore...against England in the last 3 games we lost one and played 2 draws on away games.

yeah but thats because we've played shite.
We should rip your squad to pieces. A comparable domestic team from England against one from Macedonia would do, but its just we've had a bollocks manager.

You're right you should rip Macedonia to peaces but you just don't seem to manage that.And in 2003 when we played 2-2 in Southhampton Steve Mclaren was not your manager.And we really can't compare one of the best if not the best football league in the world against poor Macedonia.

when we play poorer teams like macedonia, they make it very hard by putting 11 men behind the ball, no real skill, so its not really surprising you come away with a draw

One of the reasons we're in this mess is because ferret head had been picking youngsters/unexperienced players to stamp his mark.
