LondonLax Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 England have 3 home games left from their last 4 games so they should have enough to finish top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I think it will be Ukraine England Montenegro Poland. Ukraine have 17 points at moment as the 2 San Marino games are bankers. England have to win their last 4 games to win group and i only see a max of 10 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted June 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2013 10th of Sept will be where its at! Have we ever qualified easily from a group? You could line us up in an under 10s tournament and we would still have an all or nothing game come the end of qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) 10th of Sept will be where its at! Have we ever qualified easily from a group? You could line us up in an under 10s tournament and we would still have an all or nothing game come the end of qualifying. 2006 England qualified very comfortably. And in 2010 world cup qualification England won 9 games out of 10. The only one they lost is the very last game against Ukraine, when they had already qualified.

England have to win their last 4 games to win group and i only see a max of 10 points This is also how I see it. I have looked at the remaining 4 games for both and I think Ukraine will get 6 points v San Marino, win at home to Poland and draw at home to England - 10 points. Whereas I think England will get 8 points from their 4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm not sure there's much point in us qualifying for Rio14 to be honest. If we Do, we'll merely be making up the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'd personally laugh my head off if England failed to qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) I disagree CI, England not at a world cup would be disastrous for footballing and economic reasons. Furthermore using the argument that England are just making up the numbers could just as easily apply to 26 out of the 32 teams at the tournament. Lets be honest here, only about 6 countries have a chance of winning it or making a big impact. Should Mexico not be in it because they are just making up the numbers? They haven't reached the quarters since 86 when they were hosts. What about most of the African and Asian teams. Australia etc. Edited June 10, 2013 by Voinjama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Ukraine are not mediocre, they are decent, not amazing but decent. If I had to list the top 13 teams in Europe currently (Europe has 13 allocations for the world cup) I would definitely put Ukraine in there. But I agree the rest of the teams are mediocre to poor. I personally think Montenegro will now crash and burn but they have done well stay the course for this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best international tournament in last 15-20 years was Euro 2008 and England werent there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I think the best international tournament of the past 20 years was Euro 2000 and England were there. The amount of high scoring games, classic matches and all the top players and teams at the time performed. But I understand your point. Dr Pangloss I presume you don't live in England? I don't see how it would be hilarious if England failed to qualify for the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
