Thanks to Norway's earlier defeat by Switzerland, the winner of Iceland vs Albania (one of two still ongoing games, current score 2-1) will move into second slot in that group.

Of course, in all likelihood the second placed team in that group will end up eliminated as weakest second placer overall...

Not necessarily. Iceland is currently the third-highest-ranked second place team: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA)#Ranking_of_second-placed_teams

Colombia is now about to join the Dutch and Italians, especially since Forlán is out.

The Argies should at least qualify tonight (unless I now have some sort of reverse Midas Touch).

I'm certain the Dutch fans are quite happy that they managed to qualify at least one round before Germany Wink
Especially those Dutch fans that still remember 2002 (you may, b.t.w., cross out your last six four words in this context) Wink

Oh, and congratulation, USA!

Not so sure. You'll have time zone advantage.

What exactly happens if we beat the Faroer Islands and tie Sweden for 18 points and Sweden loses to Germany for 18 points too ?

Does the better goal difference count then, or the direct matchup (where we'd have an advantage since we won at home and tied abroad) ?

Hahaha! In a weird way, I have to agree with them: because of their hatred for the game, I don't personally care to win these people over and become fans. Zero desire. It's another reason I proudly root for Italy.

Congrats to Uruguay! Real excitement!

Trapattoni has quit as Ireland manager.

He was essentially fired.
And rightly so.

His position was very precarious following the embarrassment in Poland.
Thankfully, he accepted his position had become untenable now.


I see Martin O'Neill is the favourite for the post. I just don't know if the FAI can afford him though (or indeed really anyone with reasonable credentials).

FIFA tie breaker is goal difference. UEFA tie breaker is head to head.

Ah, yeah, thx.

I have a feeling now how this goes:

We manage a tie in Sweden, Germany wins against Sweden and then we tie the Faroers, or looooooooose. Game over.

Luxembourg's 3-2 win over Northern Ireland last night was their first home in in a WC qualifier in 41 years. Lol. (They had an away win in the last 2010 qualifiers, as well as a home win in the 2012 Euro qualifiers, though.)
