so... what do you guys think about the qualifications group?

[reidinanto]

well, I think there will be no big surprises and all the most "important" teams (Germany, Italy, Frnace, Netherlands, England, Spain) are gonna gain the qualification. Honestly, there are very few chances for "surprises", 'cause there are also the playoffs in case one of them doesn't reach the first place.
group B and F seem to be balanced, while Portugal strongly depends on C. R.'s conditions (very big team with him, not better than Denmark without him).

the 14 aqualified teams imho will be: germany, ireland, italy, france (ok, they are french, but no so stupid to continue with Domenech), netherlands, Greece, England, Portugla, Spain, Serbia (best second), Romania , Croatia, Switzerland, Denmark).


I also think it would have been more logical to make this draw AFTER the World Cup.
In addition to this, I'm not sure what the guys at uefa do is properly done, sometimes the draws don't seem to be "actual" draws: for istance, that group B with Ireland and Russia, with no big teams, sounds like a little compensation for Ireland after all that mess in the match against France.

And they should stop with these finals in two Countries, that's ridiculous.
