Belgium is out, this hasn't happened since 1978
These overpaid thicknecks are the worst generation ever

I congratulate Spain for giving us a whoop arse and putting our trainer back on his feet, hopefully we've seen the last of him
Well, back to work, lot's of it in the near future

I was surprised to hear the countries who qualified for Africa. No Cameroon or South Africa.

Australia will be up against either Chile or one of the other South American countries for a World Cup position. Can't wait until Australia starts playing in the Asia confederation. Should help create a better Australian side.

What? Netherlands that high? We always came far but never won the World Cup. AFAIK.



It's about time... :P

I can't believe the US's football team is above other good teams, when they actually aren't that good to be honest. :S

The FIFA ranking is stupid. So it doesn't mean anything to be high on that list.

It's a shame England qualified though, it would have been good for them to have skipped one tournament. Maybe then they'ld get a new coach who'ld dare to select only players that are good, instead of just the same big names as always.

Sven-Göran sounds like a big dumbass in the english papers every time they loose, but if they win, they don't mention him, and celebrate the players instead. :?

If they want to qualify without Play-off they need to win 10-0 whilst Sweden looses against Iceland. But they will reach the play-off.

I think Czech Republic will have to go through a play off to get in. I'm interested in Ireland's group-really tight as either Ireland, France, Isreal or Switzerland could win the group. Ireland will definately come in the top 2 if they beat the Swiss on Wednesday night.

Who will win the whole thing, do you think?

I think a country that not everyone expect to win, like a smaller country.
Not like Brazil or another very known country.
Hope Sweden. But don't think so, eh?

To be honest: the Netherlands has got a good team; but i dont think they win the WC; but i thik they will be go far; and i wont blame them for not winning the WorldCup. They are still unbeaten atm. (At least thats what i know)

I truly hope Holland can work it out this time. We've missed it be a hair often enough. I'm quite confident in this team.

Holland won against us, (Sweden) in The EC, which Greece won. But Greece won't even qualify to the WC :!:

Ah, yes, the World Cup. Has it been that long since the last one? I guess it has. Time flies...

3 years since Brazil won in Japan/South Korea WC.
BTW, is it decided where the 2010 WC will be held?
In a game that I have, Total Club Manager 2004, it will be held in Nigeria! :roll: Don't really think it will be like that IRL.
