Ok, so only the play offs to go and then we'll know which teams have made it, so we're starting the thread now.
the european play offs have fallen a bit disappointingly in all honesty.
Portugal v Sweden
Ukraine v France
Greece v Romania
Iceland v Croatia
You'd expect France to go through, because they'll cheat, which is a shame because an emerging Ukraine side would have been more interesting than a fading Croatia side (which I watched Scotland take apart last week, embarrassing) and Romania and Greece aren't particularly exciting but the match up of Sweden and portugal will mean either C.Ronadlo or Zlatan won't be going, making the tournament minus one of world footballs genuine stars.
In south america Ecuador pulled their typical trick of not winning a single away game but sneak through because they beat everyone at home playing in the sodding mountains, however, Uruguay will certainly tank Jordan so I doubt they're too worried.
Africa has another leg of their qualifiers to play, interesting to see Burkina Faso are leading going to Algeria, have they ever been to a World Cup before? the only dead cert is Egypt won't turn a 6-1 deficit.
In North America Mexico only managed to make the play offs and saw honduras and costa rica finish above them, must be one of the weakest mexican sides in history and New Zealand might still fancy their chances of going to successive world cups.
comments please
