I've been a Washington sports fanatic for a long time. I was born in Fairfax County and live in Richmond. Hopefully some day I will return home to live in the shadow of the greatest city in the world, Washington D.C.

Euro 2012 qualification -- who will make the playoffs!

Now to sort out the playoff picture for Euro 2012 qualification. Keep in mind that one runner-up out of the nine will not advance to the playoffs. Because most groups have six teams while others have five, to make it fair the second-place teams in a group of six have their points against the last-place teams subtracted from their points total. Again full standings here.

We have reached the denouement of the qualification for the 2012 European Championships. The next 4 days will see the hopes of nations of fans fulfilled or crash. The full standings for each group are here. In part one I will take a look at who will win each group and book their places in next summer’s tournament.
Lets get the easy part out of the way, here are the teams that are already qualified.
Germany (perfect in Group A), Italy (only dropped 2 points in Group C), Netherlands (perfect in Group E) and Spain (perfect in Group I).
Now for the rest of the groups!

I am probably in the minority but I don't mind International breaks as long as they are filled by qualifying matches that actually mean something as opposed to mostly annoying friendlies!
Houllier and MacDonald?
Apparently Aston Villa are considering former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier to be director of football and leaving Kevin MacDonald in a coaching role. I would actually like that quite a bit.
Kevin MacDonald is humble and well liked
If anything you wonder if a decent, hard-working guy like MacDonald can make it in a Premier League where usually a big ego is needed to deal with the other big egos in the locker rroom.
Transfer ideas based off rumours

There are rumours about the two Manchester clubs having interest in James Milner. Also the rumour mill says that if Barcelona don't get Franck Ribery that Ashley Young is their backup plan.
James Harden is talented but . . .

I know James Harden is an excellent player, but what Herb Sendek (who I have some respect for) did with him at the end of Pac-10 final was the most atrocious piece of coaching I've seen this weekend (and there has been a lot of bad coaching this weekend).
NBA eve

As I type this, I am an hour away from my fantasy basketball draft (where I am the defeding champ!) and we are 24 hours away from the opening tip of the NBA season. Even if the Redskins were 2-6 or 0-8 instead of 6-2, I would be normally be fired up like a blowtorch. Basketball stirs something in my soul that none of the other sports that I fanatically follow do. But not this year.
I have a confession to make

Olympic basketball hasn't been as much fun to watch since the U.S. started using pros, but I have always watched and rooted for the Americans while taking the opportunity to play amateur scout and eyeball the foreign talent on offer during the tournament,
