God! Italy and Hungary wouldn't be too good for us. I don't rate Rep of Ireland nearly as much as I used to though.

how many go through out of each group

 

[skyblue]

you follow footie breath?

 

[Breath]

Not really, I have watched part of the World Cup in the past. That was when I first learned they had no time-outs, that they added time to the end of the game, that they often faked injuries and that their athletes were actually in better shape than American football players. I'll probably follow some of it as it progresses.

 

[Peter Parka]

how many go through out of each group

In Europe, the winners of all the groups along with the best 8 runnerups having a play off for 4 other places, I believe. This is European groups explained

the potential of playing scotland in a play-off is there

 

[Peter Parka]

I'd hate to play them right now! Hopefully we'll have a decent manager by the start of the qualifiers and not need a play off anyway!

and fewer injuries

 

[skyblue]

it could have been so much worse for england........revenge is a must too

croatia
england
ukraine
belarus
kazakhstan
andorra

[Peter Parka]

Quite happy with that overall, ok, we got Croatia again but the're a much better draw from us that post of the other countries in pot A. Ukraine was a tough draw though considering who else we could have got in their pot!

 

[skyblue]

well next time we'll have the likes of ashley cole ,gary neville,rio,terry,beckham fully fit,owen,hargreaves and rooney

 

[Peter Parka]

And the new manager should hopefully have sorted out the goalkeeping position properly by then!

 

[skyblue]

yea.......no more villa keepers
