Austria at home, I think we have a great chance of qualifying if we can grind out the right results. All 4 teams are beatable at home, possibly even away after todays performance! P P Lithuania 1 3 Austria 1 3 Serbia 1 3 France 1 0 Faroe Islands 1 0 We'll see more Jambos at the world cup this way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 What a great result for Lithuania Indeed it was, even given Romania were missing their top 5 players, you can only beat what is put out in front of you, and they did. But I hope the actual Lithuanians who post on this board have a little more common sense than some Hearts fans, and take this result in context. I remember the last time Lithuania achieved a similar result, shortly after the 2006 World Cup if I remember rightly, opening match of the Euro 2008 qualifiers, went to Italy and achieved a 1-1 draw. There was a similar reaction on here from some Hearts fans, in fact such was the content of some of the posts I was convinced some of the people posting them were furiously w*nking at the same time.

Martin_T Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm pleased for all the Hearts players and particularly Miko, who I would have in my starting Hearts XI at the current time, in place of either Kingston or Obua. I don't think anyone has a problem with quality players being brought to Hearts, irrespective of nationality. However the problem has been in the past, that a lot of the Lithuanians brought to the club were far short of SPL class, let alone international class. Beniusis, Barasa, Ivaskevicius and Piliabitis (at that stage of his career) all fall into that category. Incidently based on his recent form, I think Piliabitis would add something to the Hearts squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone mentioned any team would be delighted with a 3-0away win in Romania. If that was our neighbours from south of the border the media down there would be creaming themselves and have the World Cup all but won!! Cracking goal from Miko as well, the Portugues coach certainly seems to have made a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad has influence over the national team, not the clubs the national players play for (other than HMFC and Kaunus). The influence Vlad has, is that a director of UBIG is head of Lithuanian FA, and the new Kaunus manager has also just been appointed national team manager. It's the equivalent of say, if Gordon Smith was a director of Murray International metals, and he decided that Walter Smith should be manager of Scotland as well as Rangers. If that was the case, they're would be some outcry on here, given that the current situation isn't as bad as that, and there is already outcry on here about bias in the SFA.

Jammy T Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 For example Ensuring games for players to get a wp (ala Hleb). Giving more opportunities to players from Vlad clubs (can raise profile of player, and improve player, and raise players value). I think that whilst Vlad was still interested in Hleb's brother () it was reported that he allegedly had some influence over the Belarus manager, who played him enough times to get an automatic WP for us But after he got to that stage they fell out, Vlad stood up in a Ripo bus and told the MTZ boys Hleb couldnt be trusted and we've never heard of him again.... If people dont think that Vlad has Cuceiro's "ear" they are having a laugh. Quite how he uses this is influence remains open to debate. Vlad could snap his fingers and have LV (the Lithuanian FC gadgey) ditch Cuceiro if he wanted. What an ego boost though. Having your favourite club under your control, having an SPL club likewise, and essentially being in a position of huge influence re your national team. Anyway, as I said, not complaining. I just think its interesting. As far as empire building goes Vlad is pretty good, I've got to hand him that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
