Yea Croatia are good but altho Russia have the odd decent player here and there they don't have the depth of quality that countries like England have.
I only saw these groups today (tho they must have been out for a few months at least cos they kick off in the middle of August!) and unwittingly went out last monday and bought a Croatia shirt so might have to keep it covered up!!! |
Dont forget Israel, they are getting better.the only reason they dont make it to the WC is because they play in europe and not with Iran,Saudi Arabia etc. |

I think Ireland have a genuine chance of qualifying but then Germany and Czech Rep are gonna be favourites and two very good teams but Ireland will have two new Premiership players in Alan Quinn and Paddy Kenny so will have a good chance. |
Agreed. I am actually rather confident aobut this group. We seem to do alot better when we are the outside of the group. qualifying group for 2002 had portugal and the dtuch. For this world cup we had france and swiss. Alot of expectation on us to make it out of that group, but we bottled it. Having a clown manager didnt help either.
I have heard some very good things about Alan Quinn. Look forward to seeing him alot more. First game on sky sports is sheff united vs liverpool, should be a good one! Barring injury paddy kenny will never take Givens Place.
We also have reading kevin doyle and shane long making the jump. Thing there could be anyother irish lad in midfield aswell. :conf: |

Facing the world champions, the world runner-ups and a team that reached the quarter-finals of world cup.. my advice for Scotland is to give up.
Our group is quite hard and I think there's good chances that we will miss this competition. I know Serbia and Poland were the laughing stock of the world cup, and Belgium has completely sucked for the last couple of years, yet these are all teams that would always be favourites to qualify in any group. |

| Serbia are useful. Poland are though. They were muck in the Qualifying stages even. |
