I never realized that there'd be that much talent on the N. Macedonia team.  I'm not gonna pretend I am familiar with them, but scanning through their roster they have a bunch of starters in Series A/B, La Liga, EPL, etc.  Some are even getting major minutes in European competition.

I watched the Germany/Romania game over the weekend but I thought Germany looked awful and were lucky not to drop points.  They certainly seemed to be giving up a lot of opportunities and were lucky that Romania failed to finish a couple of good chances, especially in the last 25 minutes or so.  They finished and shot very poorly as well.

Results like this are a good reminder that our qualifying isn't going to be the cake walk that some fans think.  The gaps between us and the lower level teams we'll see in the hex are probably similar to Germany and N. Macedonia, plus we'll be playing on the equator, in the middle or rainforests, in 90 degree heat and 90% humidity, with parties outside our hotel room windows all night before each game.
