I don't usually watch England, but I have to agree the Poland match was actually good for once. The Montenegro game had a decent second half too I suppose. Anyway, we're at the finals so everyone can claim we're going to win the cup again just like every four years. It should be fun.
Here's a list of the teams that have qualified so far-
Australia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, England, Spain, Russia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Costa Rica, United States, Honduras, Argentina, Brazil (hosts), Colombia, Ecuador and Chile.
Any surprises there for you? Uruguay and Mexico not making it straight through is surprising to me.
Here's a list of the play offs too...
So from that, it seems Uruguay and Mexico should still qualify despite their trouble so far. Also Burkina Faso might get a surprise qualification. Hopefully Iceland will get a winnable game, I want to see them qualify too.
Just an interesting point of comparison, how many of your club's players will/should be going to the World Cup from the teams that have or are likely to qualify?
For Middlesbrough, we should see representation from Rhys Williams (Australia) and Albert Adomah (Ghana).
Anyway on to the proper football again this weekend.
