When are these playoffs, anyway?

I'm looking forward to Uruguay Costa Rica the most.

14 and 18 November.

Shit, I hoped Bosnia would get Greece.

I still have hopes for Bosnia, though. Against Spain the Bosnians had not less than 7 players in the starting XI with one yellow card away from suspension. Their coach Blazevic wanted to reward his best players by letting them play against the EURO champions, but at the same time these players had to watch out not to get a yellow so they didn't foul at all and they let the Spaniards score with ease.
Against Portugal it will be much different. It's tough to expect Bosnia to eliminate Portugal, but Portugal's defense will surely suffer a lot.

Damn we got Portugal!

Rest of the pairs are:

Ireland - France

Ukraine - Greece

Russia - Slovenia

Good luck to Bosnia, Ireland, Ukraine, and Russia

Portugal it is. Tough draw, they're the clear favorites of course. Our defense has to be at their best for us to qualify. We can score against them, that I am sure of, but I'm afraid C.Ronaldo and co are gonna have some fun with our defense.

With a bit of luck, some magic from Misimovic and the Blazevic factor we could make it though :xfinger:

 

[mikhail]

France... ouch. Still, you can only beat what they put in front of you... and we're unbeaten in qualifying.

 

[Tommy]

France to be elimineated

 

[soulslider]

Forza Russia and France !


oops i meant Portugal instead of France


Forza Ireland

 

[The Curr]

France aren't going to the World Cup

I hate to say it but I think they are, I will watch both legs and support Trap's men but I doubt they will get much better than a spirited performance with a draw in Ireland and a narrow loss in France. Oh well good luck to the Irish

France, Russia, Ukraine and Bosnia. These are the teams i want to go to South Africa.

Greece and Ireland are too boring, Slovenia weak and boring, while Portugal...beh, shame Portugal got Bosnia. I don't like Portugal but they're an attractive side with great players. On the other hand, i like Bosnia so i want them to go to SA.

 

[JCK]

I agree with this list and the reasoning behind it.

 

[IrishZebra]

BORING???

Quite true, but thats what the world cup is all about, different culturs, style a philosophies collide, the WC is never boring when Ireland are there.

Its because of people like you Florentino Perez and his superleague are a possiblity.

For shame.

The world cup will have enough varieties as it is, with teams like Honduras, Ghana, Algeria, North Korea etc.
Ireland won't offer anything new. Just a poorer England.

Just a poorer England.

Have you seen Irelan at a world cup????

You obviously haven't.

 

[Alen]

Have you seen Irelan at a world cup????

You obviously haven't.

I've seen them 3 times. I still can't forget the first time. That was by far the most boring display from a NT at a WC and the most boring group ever.
The second time wasn't much better. 2002 was ok, but nothing special.

 

[The Curr]

We are incredibly boring. I can only imagine how bad it'd be for a neutral watching.

 

[Alen]

If it makes you feel better, i'd have definitely supported you if you got Greece from the holders.
That's a whole new level of boredom.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Every time I watched Ireland play I was like

It was just too boring really.

 

[Dostoevsky]

But it's not like Italy is any better nowadays.
