Looking at who else qualified so far: how the fuck did North Korea qualify? The bigger Asian countries are really poor in football. China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam etc. all have huge populations, but North Korea qualifies and Bahrain is in the play-off game against New Zealand.

15th consecutive qualification.  :P

I don't mind that, but I would have liked Russia to advance.

Russia seems to be by far the strongest team in the play-offs. And they can't face France as those games will be seeded. I think the likelihood of Russia playing in the finals is very high.

Yeah, I know. But Russia might slip up during the play-offs, Germany wouldn't.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was a pretty random thing.

[Edit:] No, you're right. Funny, commentator during the Russia Germany game kept on saying that Russia could face Croatia or France.

And Turkey is already gone. Interesting to see Bosnia go to the play-offs.

Portugal might not make it either. That's three out of eight Euro 2008 quarter finalists.

Argentina also had a really poor qualification so far. But I guess they will make it.

Denmark - Sweden is quite interesting so far, surprising to see Sweden so defensive with 9-10 man constantly behind the ball.

YES!

Meh, you Scandies should've conspired to keep the eggplants out.
Now it's up to Hungary. :bleeding:

Beating Sweden and going to the WC is so much sweeter than keeping the Portutards out. Sorry world, but Scandiweenian internal fighting > the good of football.
