2010 World Cup qualifying draw

Lowlander. · 11-25-2007, 02:56 PM

Took place in Durban today.

This is what the European groups look like:

Group 1: Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Albania, Malta.

Group 2: Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Moldova, Latvia, Luxembourg.

Group 3: Czech Republic, Poland, NORTHERN IRELAND, Slovakia, Slovenia, San Marino.

Group 4: Germany, Russia, Finland, WALES, Azerbijain, Liechtenstein.

Group 5: Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Armenia, Estonia.

Group 6: Croatia, ENGLAND, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra.

Group 7: France, Romania, Serbia, Lithuania, Austria, Faroe Islands.

Group 8: Italy, Bulgaria, REPUBLIC OF IRELAND, Cyprus, Georgia, Montenegro.

Group 9: Holland, SCOTLAND, Norway, FYR Macedonia, Iceland.

So... England will be facing Croatia again.

Not too many big obstacles for Holland and Germany as far as I can see.

Denmark v Sweden will be nice too (with enough police in the stadium, hopefully).

If England can't qualify from that group they should be banned from entering future FIFA tourney's. Point blank.

Portugal got a tuff draw(Sweden, Denmark aren't cupcakes) but they shouldn't have any problems making it through, unless they play with no purpose like they did for the euro's. And if Almeida proves to be a decent striker and they capitalize on their wings they should manage to cruise.

Spain has only Turkey to worry about. I'm crossing my fingers Bojan gets a couple of caps an matures rapidly enuff to set his sights on South Africa.

Cool! But I guess, we shouldn't underestimate anyone in that group...
