Voinjama Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I didn't mean any offense by it. I will phrase it another way. That could be a potential shock result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 They won 6 out of 6 in their section. I think Egypt might beat Ghana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Seeds for the world cup will be the world rankings on the 17th of October. So a country like Colombia might be seeded even though they haven't qualified for the world cup since 98, and a team like Portugal won't be.

BOF Posted October 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think it makes sense that your seeding is based on current ranking/ability rather than past glory. Now in saying that, how accurate those world rankings are is a totally separate discussion. But the logic is right IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Report on the radio seemed to think it was the world ranking as of now and England were 17th so wouldn't be seeded. Belgium are in the top 16 now aren't they? Going to be some very strong groups, could actually be a decent world cup to watch right from the start for the first time in a while.

Voinjama Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 No it's the October world rankings which come out on the 17th of this month. If England qualify they will not be seeded as they will not be able to make up the rankings to the top 8 by then, even with 2 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted October 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 11, 2013 Armenia currently introducing the cat to the pigeons in group B.Beating Bulgaria 1-0 at half time opening the door a little bit for Denmark later today. I say a little bit because Denmark are home to Italy. If (when) the Czechs beat Malta, the race for second place could be as follows by the end of today.Bulgaria 13ptsCzech 12Armenia 12Denmark 12That would leave the final day very interesting.Bulgaria v Czech RepublicDenmark v MaltaItaly v Armenia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 They could let lions onto the pitch if there wasn't a goal within 20 minutes and I still wouldn't be excited by international football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Down to 8 men according to bet 365 live in play? I think that's going to be the unlucky group where the 2nd place team misses out on the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
