Routine 3:0 victory over Andorra
Macedonia had an easy and routine 3:0 victory over Andorra. Very convincing start when Macedonian players scored 3 goals within 30 minutes. But the rest of the game was pretty diappointing and boring to watch, as Katanec' team didnt find any keys to unlock the crowdy Andorran defence wall in front of the box, although they were down to 10 men for more than an hour. In the 10th minute it was Macedonia's star player Goran Pandev who opened the score with a beautiful goal, shortly to be followed by Nikolce Noveskis 2:0 and Ilco Naumoskis 3:0 in the 14th and 30th minute. Andorra were then down to 10 men, after Antoni Sivera received a red card for a bad start and so consequently the Andorrans started to defend with 10 men in front of the box, which made it quite hard for the Macedonians. It was very expected style from Andorra as they played with no attacker for almost whole match. The only attacker in Andorra's squad entered the match in the 87th minute.But this is match that to forget very soon, the only thing important for marking from this match are the yellow cards for Pandev and Naumoski. They will both miss the important match against Russia next month (15th November in Skopje). A pretty unnecessary outcome of this match! Katanec will have to think about a replacement for the two attacking players. Both first eleven players were therefore substituted early in the match for Aco Stojkov and Darko Tasevski. Partizans Stojkov, Tasevski, Sakiri or Ristic might slip in for Pandev and Naumoski against Russia.

England easier than Andorra
Sakiri: England easier than AndorraSakiri, who was on the bench for the game, said: 'It is easier to play against England than Andorra.
'Andorra played with 11 players 20 yards from goal and just kicked the ball away. England had confidence at the start but saw it wasn't as easy as they thought. I was expecting more attacking play from them.
'Sakiri was in the Macedonia team beaten 1-0 by Andorra in a World Cup qualifier two years ago.
He added: 'I don't know if they will qualify for the European Championships. If they play like that again they will struggle. They have to do better. The game in Croatia will be very tough.'

England - Macedonia 0:0
Mission accomplished!!!Macedonia managed to win a point in England. Considering the unlucky defeat in Skopje, this point was hugely deserved, although England had the better chances althrough the match. Katanec' tactics paid off well at the end, even though the Macedonians didnt manage to make the big sensation happen, as their counter attacks were too harmless in the sedond half. Nevertheless, respect for Katanec' once again bravely fighting team and the 1 point in England! The Macedonian NT showed their real side on the pitch.

England - Macedonia
Today is the day many Macedonians were waiting for since weeks: the revenge match against England in Manchester. Will Macedonia be able to strike back and get their 3 points, which they lost undeservedly in Skopje?Venue:
Old Trafford, England
18.00 CET, Saturday, October 7, 2006
Possible line ups:
England:
(4-4-2): Robinson - Neville, Ferdinand, Terry, Cole - Gerrard, Carrick, Lampard, Downing - Rooney, Crouch.
Macedonia
(3-5-2): Nikoloski - Sedloski, Mitreski, Noveski - Lazarevski, Petrov, Popov, Shumulikoski - Pandev - Maznov, Naumoski
There is a big chance, that the naturalised Serbian striker Stevica Ristic (Sileks Kratovo) plays instead of Naumoski or Maznov. Ristic is the best striker in the Macedonian League for the last 2 years and might get a chance for a debut today.
Big media interest sorrounds the game. Not only Macedonian and English TV channels will broadcast the game, but also several Asian and other European TV stations. Additional to that, the Old Trafford is sold out since days and there are 71.000 visitors expected today and a great atmosphere, but only 500 Macedonian fans are awaited. Nevertheless Katanec said in an interview that he doesn't fear a packed crowd: "There's no better feeling then to play in front of a jam-packed Old Trafford. There's no fear of the crowd because most of the Macedonian players are used to it."
