An ok group for Scotland we should win that group or come second behind Netherlands.
|

At the very least, Scotland should get a playoff spot to determine the final 4 to qualify.

looking at the group England are in...
i can see them struggling to pick up the points. Croatia must be rubbing their hands together   |

^ England will win their group easily. Croatia losing Eduardo was a massive blow.
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
How many games will Eduardo miss? I'd say 2, 3 max
|
||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
You've got a point. He'll miss 4 on the current (rough) timeline.
6 September - Kazakhstan 10 September - England 11 October - Ukraine 15 October - Andorra 1 April 2009 - Andorra (should be back for this one) |

Im pretty confident England will qualify without too many problems. Looking forward to the Croatia match, and im sure England will be too, trying to gain revenge for their previous meeting.

The lower nations must feel it is a waste of their time even turning up. Most of them are already written out of the story without it having started. Teams like San Marino, Andorra, Iceland, Estonia etc.

Yep, the worst of the second place finishers will be out of luck. Only way to guarantee a spot is to finish first. |

On Fifa we can read Scotland 8 participations at the WC, it's not bad France have 11 but you won only 4 of your 23 matchs in the World Cup.

Just a pity we dont have france in our group. Scotland would win both matchs just like they did in the euros

Domenech is still the coach of France untill the WC 2010, it has been decided today.
