Spain have to qualify again?


Don't winners get automatic entry?

 

Not anymore. Rules changed because of the French in 2002 World Cup.

 

norway in pot 1 :googly:

sumthng must b done bout these seedingz/coeff pointz really

 

Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia could be in one group. Make it happen UEFA.

Croatia
Serbia
Bosnia
Albania
Macedonia
Random Pot 6 nation.

 

I hope

Spain
France
Rep.Of Ireland
Scotland
Wales


Italy's group

Italy
Montenegro
belarus
Armenia
Estonia

 

I want fair qualifications unlike 2010 where Useless playoffs and favored seeding were made. Remember how France and Portugal qualified, they did not deserve it. Imagine Bosnia and Ireland in their place,would have performed better than these two did. One lost all matches and one scored in only one match vs the lowest ranked team

 

Portugal beat Bosnia fair and square (no hands involved) and even playing some of the most chicken shit football of the last decade I am very sure that we still managed to be more entertaining than BiH would ever have been/ever will be.

 

Norway in pot 1, Montenegro in pot 2 :googly: And wtf are Poland doing down in pot 5 alongside the likes of Cyprus and Azerbaijan?? Did they randomize the pot draw too??

Group for Italy:
Italy
Slovenia
Hungary
Armenia
Cyprus
San Marino

 

Remember that the draw is being held 5 months earlier than in the past, this time on 30 July 2011 (2000 CET).

 

how is France (winner 98 finalist 06) in pot 2 behind Norway!

 

Norway
Turkey
Hungary
Georgia
Moldova
San Marino

:hopeful:

 

imagine group like this

Spain
France
Czech rep
Romania
Poland
Iceland


vs


Norway
Montenegro
Belarus
Lithuania
Estonia
San Marino

 

As long as WALES qualifies, I don't care:thumbsup::drunk:

 

these are from goal.com.....

 

When is the draw?

 

30 July 2011

 

The draw is at the end of July... The group seedings are not final yet, for the n-th time... I know you're all excited for the draw and so am I, but let's not jump headfirst into a shallow pool!

 

What's the source for this btw? I read an article a couple of days ago that put Hungary in pot 4, and that was from goal.com

 

edit...

Edgar posted his rankings and pots today. He said he would publish them on June 10. He usually is accurate and futbol journalists look at his site as well. The site, goal.com, had "officiallly announced" the seedings but didn't include recent results.

Pot 1: Spain, Netherlands, Germany, England, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, Norway, Greece
Pot 2: France, Montenegro, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Slovenia, Turkey, Serbia, Slovakia
Pot 3: Switzerland, Israel, Republic of Ireland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belarus, Ukraine, Hungary
Pot 4: Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Georgia, Lithuania, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Austria, Poland
Pot 5: Armenia, Estonia, Finland, Cyprus, Latvia, Moldova, FYR Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Faroe Islands
Pot 6: Wales, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra, San Marino

A few changes can still be made.

Only Romania and Estonia can move to a different pot. Albania, although scheduled to play Argentina, are already locked in pot 4 (win or lose).

Romania could still climb to pot 3 with a win against Paraguay tomorrow.

Estonia could still displace Poland in pot 4 with two wins against Chile and Uruguay.

Montenegro missed a huge opportunity. They could have been in the first pot with a win against Bulgaria, but managed only a draw.

1 Spain 1588
2 Netherlands 1542
3 Germany 1305
4 England 1146

lol Wales.

 

Pot 6 team behind the Faeroe Islands

 

I actually considered Liechtenstein more highly than the Faroe Islands, although they have got some results lately. Iceland below both is also... hmm. I mean, they have players like Sigthorsson, Gudmundsson, and Sigurdsson, etc.

 

Do the Samba! - 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualification/Final Tournament Campaign

Someone please sticky this thread because it will be discussed for a pretty long time.

So, the qualifiers started on June 15, 2011 between two small nations in the Caribbeans, Montserrat and Belize. It was played in Trinidad and Tobago due to there being no place available to play at in Montserrat, who was the home team for the first leg.

Belize won the game 5-2. Deon McCauley scored a hat-trick while Harrison Roches and Elroy Kuylen also scored. Jay Lee Hodgson got a brace for Montserrat. An eventful game between the two small nations that marks the start of the journey to Brazil 2014.

Btw, there were 150 fans in attendance.

All news and results on the Brazil 2014 campaign go here. :thumbsup:

 

Dnt wory M-Club they will make a seperate forum for that but not now time is there. You will be the mod of that.



GLWT=?

 

Well, it is a three year campaign here. 831 more qualifiers and 64 final tournament matches. It should be stickied IMHO.

Also, forgot to mention that the date of the Belize-Montserrat return game is unknown due to Belize being suspended by FIFA shortly after the first leg due to FA problems. If Belize remain suspended and don't play the game by July 10, then it will be a forfeit and Montserrat will go through to the second round.

 

Like Homes, the apparent newbie who knows already said, it will get its own forum like the euros when people start caring, which isn't right now.

Will no doubt be after the euros/olympics.
