10.14.09 | So Croatia won't be there, but one of New Zealand & Bahrain will be. Yep, something's not quite right there.
Which reminds me, how did Argentina go (if they have played)?

Baphomet
10.14.09 | Wait! Either New Zealand or Bahrain don't get only half a spot?! I mean last time Australia had to play Uruguay to go to the WC, I guess it's the same this time around...
And Argentina won 1-0... I don't know if the pussies had to bribe the referee this time |

10.15.09 | I finally got ES Postumus recently, and it's pretty sweet.
Just thought you'd like to know. |

10.15.09 | Cool ninjuice. Yes New Zealand and Bahrain tied 0-0 at Bahrain. The spot will be decided in New Zealand. Argentina qualified for the automatic berth in 4th place after beating Paraguay 1-0. Paraguay verses Costa Rica for the last spot.
4 spots left (home/away format), 8 teams, 4 qualify.
Portugal
Russia
France
Ukraine
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Greece
Slovenia
Ireland
This isn't open draw its based on seeds, most likely will be:
1. Russia
2. Portugal
3. France
4. Greece
5. Ukraine
6. Bosnia-Herzegovina
7. Ireland
8. Slovenia |

10.15.09 | 5 and 6 are two of my favorite hip-hop albums ever. 8 is surprisingly really good. I need to check out the new Mr. Lif, I was pretty disappointed in Mo' Mega but I Phantom was incredible. |

10.15.09 | Just an FYI MassiveAttack, Argentina beat Uruguay. Paraguay qualified a couple of matchdays ago. |
MassiveAttack
10.15.09 | ah fuck I always mix those two :( |
DaveyBoy
10.15.09 | Somewhere in Paraguay, there is also a person who mixes up Croatia & Serbia!

Don't sweat it Massive, it happens to everyone. I like to believe it's their fault for not being more creative with their country's name.
And I feel for you, it would have been great to see Modric, Kranjcar and Olic in the WC |

10.16.09 | It's really ridiculous when you think about some of the teams that get in compared to some that don't. I'd much rather see Croatia in instead of Bahrain or New Zealand. Both of those teams will get crushed in the tournament.
On a side note, come on Ireland! |
MassiveAttack
10.16.09 | I think Bosnia will upset whoever they're versing. They have one of the top 3 most potent offenses in the campaign.
My Picks:
Russia
Ireland (Portugal are always so fucking arrogant)
Bosnia (if they get France I see a clear upset)
Greece (Always solid, had a strong campaign, even if it was an easy group. The Greeks always manage to play an amazing counterattack style).
I can see Portugal and France going through, but the way France has been, as in off and on during the campaign, I can't back them up. Serbia held them in check both games, the first they should of tied, but Serbia let it fall out of their grasp. They still got the group though.
Portugal are a bunch of pre-madonnas, seriously they barely made it out of Hungary (first match 1-0 win). If they lost or tied that they would be back home crying because Sweden passed them up. I get sick of hearing about their world-class players everywhere, if they're so good fucking win something. |
Baphomet
10.16.09 | well they did come close in 2006, but I guess that with a propper trainer they would be better off. I mean, they do have world-class players ;).
My picks for europe would be:
1 Portugal (read above)
2 France (Yes domenech is an idiot, but there are just too many great players in their squad)
3 Russia (Great campaign and better players, they diserve it)
4 Bosnia-Herzegovina (As Massive said, Dzeko, Ibisevic and the rest are a force to be reckoned with) |
thebhoy
10.16.09 | I hate Portugal. I can't stand watching them at all. |
Baphomet
10.16.09 | ^kinda yes... but as long as Spain wins the WC, I'm a happy camper. |
