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. |

| Some of these groups look like a joke... I think Italy and Greece should take care of their groups |

We are so dead Hopefully Armenia can pull off another upset (well actually 2, but there is no way we are beating Spain) |

Holland, SCOTLAND, Norway, FYR Macedonia, Iceland
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 -------------

Grp 8 Italy, Bulgaria, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND, Cyprus, Georgia, Montenegro 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. ------------- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. |

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 ------------- I rather be a nomadic barbarian than a sedentary savage |

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 ------------- D.J.

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. |

Nothing except Holland, Scotland and Norway
 and Macedonia is also not bad. I wish You good luck but it is one of tougher groups. |

I even think these teams would have a bigger chance to play in WC while competing with Asian teams especially Georgia and Armenia with a big smiel of luck could have a chance there.

Armenia is not so bad. In the Euro 2008 qualifiers they beat
Poland and Kazakhstan, and tied Portugal, all in consecutive games. If only their coach didn't die a few weeks ago  It is very possible for Armenia to end up 3rd place in that group, with only Spain and Turkey being the obvious favorites. The rest of the group is up in the air.------------- Mass Murderers Agree: Gun Control Works! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Resistance Քիչ ենք բայց Հայ ենք։ |

Cyprus is geographically an Asian country. It is an extension of the Anatolian peninsula which is considered a part of Asia. Israel, Armenia and Azerbaijan are not part of geograhpic Europe. They are to the south of the Caucasus which is the Southern border of Europe. Kazakhstan has some territories to the West of the Ural mountain, Europe's eastern border, so technically it is partially European. Of course this is just the geographic definition of Europe. Some people would say Armenia, Cyprus and Israel are "culturally" European. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJHmQvFNydA - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJHmQvFNydA |

Thats not true...according to the November ranking Armenia is ranked 42 above Austria...while Georgia is ranked 37 above Latvia and Iceland and Azerbaijan (45) is ranked above Estonia. http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=m/fullranking.html#confederation=27275&rank=163 - http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=m/fullranking.html#confederation=27275&rank=163 All them are probably better than Kazakhstan too... |
