Engalnd up 3-0 over Andorra at the half. Interesting info I found on eurosport.com. The capacity at Old Trafford is more than the entire population of Andorra.

Andorra.

France are up 2-0 on Georgia at half time as well - Malouda and Saha inside 16 minutes.

Great job Paul!! I think your formula, UEFA coefficients, are the better way to go.

Maybe they didn't want to offend the Irish readers - they are bumped up into the main round groups on FIFA ranking.
