so how many teams get in? how many games do they play? [/ QUOTE ] "The format for the European qualifying competition for the FIFA World Cup 2010™ was decided upon and will consist of eight groups of six teams, and one group of five. The nine group winners will qualify directly and the best eight runners-up will play home and away play-off matches for the remaining four places. The nine groups containing the 53 UEFA member associations will be competing for the 13 places made available to Europe in the final tournament." |

Re: Official World Cup 2010 Qualifying Thread
Anyone know how they calculate the "best 8" of the 9 runners up? It can't just be on points, since that would be unfair against group 9. Is it something like how many points they get v 1st, 3rd and 4th in the group?
Not that it matters since we'll win our group... but just in case. |
