Official World Cup 2010 Qualifying Thread

[Pontuan21]

Yes, really unfortunate grouping for Canada. Why did they use the May rankings as the basis for the seeding and not the latest ranking, or the ranking following the Gold Cup?? The European seedings were based on the latest rankings.

Anyway, not an impossible task, but with the dubious officiating in CONCACAF, I think it will be tough for us to qualify.

What about the Aussie group? Maybe they will now regret joining the Asian federation. Not going to be easy for them either...

I think its more of the Canadian team being very mediocre than poor officiating.

Will Scotland be stronger or weaker without Mcleish?

I didn't want McLeish to go, but it was fairly inevitable. As long as we get someone decent in his place, I don't see this being a particularly big plus or negative for Scotland.

Btw, I have a $150 bet with a Norwegian colleague as to who will place higher in our group between our respective countries. Have I made a good bet do you think? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Assuming you don't hire Souness I think Scotland will be above Norway.

Best part of this group is that it's almost guaranteed I get either Norway or Scotland to cheer for (atleast in the play-offs)
