Spain’s team spirit not under the influence of Barcelona-Real Madrid rivalries

Spain have lost the first spot to the Netherlands in the FIFA World Rankings, and fans now fear that Clasico issues won’t tarnish the squad’s progress at the international level.

The atmosphere is great between Spain's players according to reports, regardless of tensions between Barcelona and Real Madrid

The Barcelona and Real Madrid rivalry has quickly reached nearly unsupportable levels since the past year or so. In mid-August, both teams met for the 2011 Supercopa de España. While Barcelona ran away with the trophy to create new records, the injury time brawl at the Camp Nou stole the headlines.

As he reflected on what happened, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola expressed his concerns over the tensions between his team and Real Madrid. Spain’s key player Xavi blasted the behavior of Los Blancos whereas Sergio Ramos went in defense of his manager, Jose Mourinho.

Eventually, the team spirit factor of Spain’s national football team became an issue. However, players insist that professionalism will keep the squad from reacting under the influence of the heated Barcelona-Real Madrid rivalry. Sergio Busquets told Marca in the build up to the Spain vs Chile friendly match:

“Things like this [brawls between Real Madrid and Barcelona] always happen in football, but we want the best for the national team. There will always be a good atmosphere. There are no problems.”

Sergio Ramos confirmed Busquets’ statement by declaring:

“There are good vibes and we hope to continue with the good atmosphere in the team.”

Juan Mata was also quoted as saying by Spanish news source Marca:

“We are all here for the same reason and we play for the national team, the clubs are not important when we are together.”

Echoing the players’ words, Vicente del Bosque stated at a press conference on Thursday:

“I have not seen anything out of the ordinary in the camp. The foundation of our success is the good relationships that exist in the group.”

Inhospitable Hampden looms for Lithuania

A 0-0 draw in Lithuania proved to be something of a disappointing start for Scotland's UEFA EURO 2012 Group A campaign but they will look to make amends as the sides reconvene in Glasgow.

• The teams largely cancelled each other out on 3 September, Saulius Mikoliunas and Stephen McManus producing their sides' best efforts in the first half. Scotland looked to force the issue after the break but the deadlock remained unbroken.

• Scotland's record in seven matches against Lithuania reads W4 D2 L1 (W3 D0 L0 at home).

• The sides drew 0-0 in their first meeting in a UEFA EURO 2000 qualifier in Vilnius on 5 September 1998 – two days shy of exactly 13 years before their upcoming fixture.

• Since then, they have been unable to avoid each other in European Championship qualifying, locking horns in both UEFA EURO 2004 and UEFA EURO 2008 preliminary round games.

• The most recent of Scotland's three home victories over their visitors from the Baltic was a 3-1 success on 8 September 2007. Kris Boyd, McManus and James McFadden struck for the Scots and Tomas Danilevičius converted a penalty for Lithuania.

• Scottish titleholders Rangers FC were eliminated from the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round by Lithuania's FBK Kaunas following a 0-0 home draw and a 2-1 loss at the S. Darius & S. Girenas Stadium.

UEFA Euro 2012 qualifiers: Miroslav Klose boasting about Germany’s power

Germany are 3rd in the FIFA World Rankings at the moment, but Miroslav Klose believes that everyone looks at the DFB Eleven “with envy”.

Miroslav Klose thinks Germany are the envy of the world football public.

Germany indeed look invincible at the moment. Their recent 3-2 defeat of Brazil only reminded the public about Joachim Lowe and his team’s ambitions. In the Euro 2012 qualifiers, the Germans hold a perfect record. They’ve conceded only 3 goals in 7 matches whereas they surpass the 3 goals per match average.

Germany are poised to go through their UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying campaign without knowing anything else than wins. On Friday night, they will affront Austria in their 8th game of the qualifiers which they are expected to win. According to Miroslav Klose, the time has come for the Germans to genuinely think about celebrateing on a podium.

“All that's missing in my career at the moment is winning a big international tournament. Next year's European Championships are supposed to fill that void,” he told Bild.

Talking about Germany’s potential as a team, Miroslav Klose concluded:

“Is the team strong enough to win Euro 2012? Of course! The world of football is looking at us with envy.

“We play a very attractive and attacking style of football. It's a joy to see to see our team in action.”

Italy vs Slovenia Match Preview

September 6 could be a historical day for hosts Italy who will welcome Slovenia in their 8th UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match in Group C.

Italy have one foot at the 2012 European Championship.

Unbeaten Italy have the wonderful opportunity of sealing qualification to the Euros in Fiorentina where Cesare Prandelli used to coach as La Viola’s manager. In an interview with Rai Sport, the Italy boss was quoted as saying:

“Qualifying for Euro 2012 in Florence would be magic, a small dream that would become reality.”

Azzurri supporters, however, are hoping to be treated with a much better performance than what was showcased against the Faroe Islands last Friday. A strike by Cassano gave the Italians a narrow victory in a game they should have won comfortably.

Expect Slovenia to put up a strong display on Tuesday as things remain extremely tight between the second and fifth positions. As things stand, Slovenia have only 11 points from 8 matches.

Serbia follow behind with the same number of points, Estonia have 10 and Northern Ireland have 9. Slovenia and Estonia have played one more game than Italy, Serbia and Northern Ireland, though.

England vs Wales team news - Euro 2012 Qualifier

Submitted by Stan James on 5 September 2011 - 10:08am in

England (1/7 to win in 90 minutes) head coach Fabio Capello wants Wembley to become a fortress again having not won in their last four games at the ground. Since beating Bulgaria 4-0 at home last September, England have been held by Montenegro, Ghana and Switzerland while also registering a 2-1 defeat to France.

Fabio Capello's side will be on the verge of 2012 European Championships qualification if they defeat Wales in the Group G match at Wembley. They are three points ahead of second-place Montenegro, who they visit in October, and have two games left.

England's away form has been impressive having beaten teams like Denmark, Wales and Bulgaria this year and the England coach wants to get back to winning ways on home soil. Wales are the visitors tomorrow night and they will be buoyed after picking up their first points of the qualifying competition on Friday when they beat Montenegro 2-1.

Darren Bent and Micah Richards have been ruled out of the game against Wales on Tuesday night because of injuries. Bent had also missed Friday's win over Bulgaria with a groin problem, while Richards has a hamstring injury.

Wales (20/1 to win in 90 minutes) boss Gary Speed has central defender James Collins available after serving a suspension. But Craig Bellamy and David Vaughan miss out after picking up yellow cards in Friday's win over Montenegro. Wales' Sam Ricketts remains sidelined as the Bolton defender continues his recovery from Achilles surgery while Blackpool full-back Neal Eardley is out with broken fingers.

Swiss hope for better against Bulgaria

Having drawn 0-0 in Sofia back in March, Switzerland and Bulgaria will hope that their UEFA EURO 2012 Group G rematch will have a more positive outcome.

• Lothar Mätthaus's Bulgaria took on a Switzerland selection coached by the former midfielder's one-time FC Bayern München coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, but neither pupil nor master could get the upper hand. The most notable incidents in the game came when Alexander Frei was twice denied by home goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov.

• Matthäus and Hitzfeld won German titles together at Bayern in 1999 and 2000, though Matthäus left Bayern for New York MetroStars in the final months of the latter campaign.

• An average of a point a game from their first five fixtures left both sides well off the pace in the battle to qualify for the finals in Poland and Ukraine.

• The teams had faced each other in two competitive games prior to UEFA EURO 2012, having been pooled together in EURO '92 qualifying. Switzerland won both matches: 2-0 at home through goals from Marc Hottiger and Thomas Bickel, and 3-2 in Sofia where Kübilay Türkyilmaz hit a 90th-minute winner as the visitors battled back from 2-0 down.

• They have met in two friendlies since then. Nasko Sirakov and Emil Kostadinov struck to give Bulgaria a 2-0 friendly victory in Berne on 28 April 1992 before the sides drew 1-1 in Geneva on 11 April 2009.

Latvia out to dent Greek ambitions

Latvia will look to build upon a brave but fruitless showing in Piraeus as Greece come to Riga in Group F, still in the running for a place at UEFA EURO 2012.

• The home side won last year's 9 October meeting 1-0 with Olympiacos FC defender Vassilios Torossidis breaking Latvia's resistance in the 58th minute, scoring with a clinical finish following a neat exchange of passes with Kostas Katsouranis.

• Greece and Latvia will meet again in the coming years, having been drawn together in Group G of the European qualifiers for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. They were previously drawn together in South Africa 2010 qualifying.

• Latvia's record in five games against Greece reads W1 D1 L3 (W0 D1 L1 at home). They have lost the countries' last three encounters.

• In 2010 World Cup qualifying, Greece beat Lavtia 2-0 in Riga on 10 September 2008, and then won the return fixture 5-2 in Athens on 10 October the following year.

• Fanis Gekas enjoyed those two games against Latvia a great deal, firing both goals in the first encounter and four more in Athens, where two Māris Verpakovskis strikes had put the visitors 2-1 up at the break.

• The teams first met in a UEFA EURO 2000 qualifier in Riga on 31 March 1999, playing out a goalless draw. Latvia improved on that result with a 2-1 victory in Athens on 9 June the same year, when Mihails Zemlinskis hit an added-time winner after Andreas Niniadis had cancelled out Verpakovskis' first-half opener.
