FIFA World Cup play-off draw
ALLGames to be Played 12 & 16 of November....
Team Named First at Home in First Leg.....


Spain v Slovakia

Switzerland v Turkey

Norway v Czech Republic

Uruguay v Australia

Trinidad and Tobago v Bahrain


(this will be removed as a sticky once the teams have been determined and the teams that qualify will be added to 2006 World Cup Teams Sticky...)

So just 3 teams left to qualify then!

My picks are

Spain, Turkey Czec!

Sorry, actually also have Australia to playoff with Uruguay and Bahrain to playoff with Trinidad and Tobago. I was trying to verify the dates they meet (not sure if they play on the same Nov. dates that the European teams meet) before posting, but I'll just add them now and edit when I find the dates or someone can tell me..........

So Austrailia and Trinidad and Tobago will also qualify too!

Yes, of course if they win....There are currently 27 teams now in, 5 slots still need to be filled (to complete the 32 team field) and they will come from the winners of the playoffs.......(I think I got all that correct..).

Spain, Turkey and Czech Republic
Australia and Trinidad and Tobago.
These are my bets

Spain v Slovakia ==> Spain.

Switzerland v Turkey ==> Switzerland.

Norway v Czech Republic ==> Czech Republic beyond a doubt.

Uruguay v Australia ==> Uruguay.

Trinidad and Tobago v Bahrain ==> Dunno.

another nail-biter for Turkey. But I think we got the experience and qaulity to go through...

hehe.

if turkey lose ,,this will be very suprise turkey last world third you dont know???
well then switzerland??????????

well, i see that you are speaking about qualified countries !! but , as i see , the most known teams are not!

Qualifiers playoff: Spain, Turkey Czech!

Aussies

Not sure about T&T they have Marvin Andrews in their defence!

I hoping for T&T.......It will be good for them, and they love the game...

Well Australia have lost their first tie with Uruguay 1-0, tought result to come back from but I hope they can do it.

The suprise result for me was Switzerland vs Turkey, 2-0 to the Swiss!

oranje, where are all the results for the first leg?
Swiz - Turkey 2:0 !? I am surprised.

They are posted my friend, check under WC Playoffs Results - 1st Leg (11/12/05).....

Ys switzerland is in the world cup by the help of refree every body saw that

Did ure edit your post by any chance?

ah, Mr. Turks will no longer be joining us......

What a shame, well go Switzerland tho!!!!

Did you see the violence after the game though? Blatter said that theres going to be an investigation!

May result in them being thrown out of the next World Cup. I think with Turkey, they have had enough chances. It is harsh to punish the team - however it is the only way. The English have been threatened with it on so many occasions, and where as I will openly admit there has been some problems with fans, I beleive it has improved greatly over the last few tournaments. Turkey just seem to be getting worse and worse and something needs to be done.

I'm not sure how true this is, but I heard that as the Swiss players ran off the filed and into the tunnel that one of there players kicked an assistant coach of Turkey and than the bust-up was fully on....Don't know what to believe, and hopefully an investigation will sort things out and the guilty will be punished.

Yep looks like its all on, i wonder what the punishment will be if Turkey is found to be at fault.

He has too take serious action, because if it had been Scotland, England, Ireland or Wales there would be serious repercussions. Blatter has too make an example out of Turkey.
