[RowlattsFox]

Get Germany in the group and then we can't meet them again unless we got to latter stages.

Going for Nigeria, Denmark and Peru (if they qualify) in that order in the world cup thanks to the Leicester connections in the last 2. Would also like to see Panama do well.

 

Dont mind England seeing doing well as I live here with a future English wife and cheered them on in the U20 and U17 world cup. Maguire and Vardy have made the first team a bit more watchable though neither will start despite Maguire deserving to start.

 

But the media coverage might be awfully hard to bear if you guys actually win it / get far, particularly on ITV. 

If Peru qualify, they will be seeded in pot 2 with England, which means they can't be in the same group. If Peru don't qualify, Denmark will be in pot 2 and England cannot draw them.

Dream group:

Russia

Switzerland

Iran

Saudi Arabia

 

Please no:

France (not again)/Germany (never beat them)

Switzerland

Iceland/Denmark/Sweden (feisty competition)

Nigeria (best team out of Pot 4)

Surely two Asian teams can't be drawn in the same group, or three European ones. There will have to be one from CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, CAF or New Zealand.

Imagine if we lost again to them

Aussies 2-0 up with 10 to go... Look out the aussies are comin

[ozleicester]

Make that 3-0  five mins to go

[shen]

Bit surprised at that. Pretty convincing margin for the Aussies. Well done!

[Tuna]

No idea why they don't have the central American side play the south American side in the play off and the Asian team (In this case Australia) play the oceana team. Distances travelled are just ridiculous.

So Italy dont qualify for a World Cup 12 years after winning it. Must be the shortest gap between winning it and not qualifying since England not qualifying in 1974?

better to win it and then not qualify to never winning it and hardly ever qualifying though.

Pot 1	Pot 2	Pot 3	Pot 4
Russia (hosts)	Spain (8)	Iceland (21)	Nigeria (41)
Germany (1)	Switzerland (11)	Costa Rica (22)	Japan (44)
Brazil (2)	England (12)	Sweden (25)	Morocco (48)
Portugal (3)	Colombia (13)	Tunisia (28)	Panama (49)

France (7)	Peru (10)/Denmark (19)	Denmark (19)/Serbia (38)	Serbia (38)/New Zealand (122)

Portugal, England, Denmark and Nigeria would mean a Leicester player in each team.

Why do NZ have Wood on the bench for this?

[spacemunky]

Wood on to start the second half.

 

Not looking good for the Kiwis though.

Peru through to the World Cup.

@Finnegan: Get yer shirt!

 

Odd that New Zealand let Wood on the bench for the first half, he‘s by far their best striker.
