Richard Duffy, who was a half-time subsitute for Wales, gave away a 53rd minute penalty which led to his country losing 1-0 to Poland. Robert Page was a substitute not used in the game at Warsaw which virtually book the Poles place in Germany 2006.

Claus Jorgensen played for 85 minutes for the Faroe Islands in a 2-0 home defeat by Israel. Avi Nimni scored in the 55th minute and ten minutes from time, Yaniv Katan banged home a cross from five yards. The Faroes are now bottom of their group with only one point from nine games.

Covkid James Quinn, now with Peterborough United was involved in the shock result of the night as Northern Ireland beat England 1-0 in Belfast. Chris Kirkland was on the bench for England but unfortunately for the Sky Blues who stand to make enough money out of one England appearance by Kirkland to pay for the Academy, the keeper who is on loan at West Brom from Liverpool did not get on.
