    Group 6? England and Croatia?

    It will be interesting...

    And

    Group 5, Turkey and Armania?

    This is also going to be fun :)

    Seems like Switzerland and Israel finally got a good chance of reaching the WC. :)

    For Sweden, decent group. Except Greece, Portugal is probably the team I'd choose. I'm more scared of the Danes even, seeking revenge from last time.

    Resolvable for Iceland. I think nothing is in the way for the first  participation of a Icelandic team at the WC-finals.
     
    There the Icelandic team will meet the Germans on their way to Championship

    Not a bad group for Ireland - could have been alot worse. We should be challenging for second anyway, Cyprus, Georgia and Montenegro are all beatable. With a good manager we may even be able to take top spot...although Italy world champs... perhaps not.

    mabey unrelated but why do countries like Kazakhstn, Azerbaycan, Armenia & Georgia compete in the European part of FIFA

    when everybody knows that they don't stand a chance against other countries. I think they should go to the asian side. there not even in Europe to begin with not even close

    Actually and technically, they all are located in Europe if we assumed Europe borders geographically, which is how the FIFA allocates the countries. The only country in the European group that is 100% Asian is Israel. Is cyprus part of the European continent?

    It looks like Turkey has a great chance to qualify with only Spain as the obstacle to South Africa

    i thought all meditteranean islands was well as Greece and italy belong to the African tectonical(?) plate, so Cyprus would actually be African rather than European or asian....

    no, but very small parts of georgia and azerbaijan are beyond the caucasus = european. also, quite a lot of land of Kazakhstan is on european soil = beyond the Ural river. that qualifies them for europe. don't know about armenia and israel though...

    Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan are partly in Europe geographically. And Armenia, Israel and Cyprus are totally in Asia.
