I think you can top that group easily imo

 

[nikolapfc89]

Pipa we all know who you are
I see that all Bosnian fans are happy with group,and think that easy pass through group on WC.

 

[Valon]

Serbia vs Croatia what a match

Im fine with Albania grupe i still see chance , not any TOP team there ! looking forward for matchs !

 

[PIPA23]

yeah but many people mix us with Slovenia..

anyway.. i´m pleased but also this won´t be underrated from our side.. we have great chance on paper..but in reality we have to prove it..

the best thing for our NT is our youth.. some realy talented u21 and younger players are in process to be invited to senior squad, with a backbone with Skrtel, Kucka, Hamsik, Stoch.. we have a big expectations for 2014..

 

[PIPA23]

Serbia vs Croatia what a match

Im fine with Albania grupe i still see chance , not any TOP team there ! looking forward for matchs !

i expect your group to be very entertaining matches, becouse all 4 top countries there are closely on similar level..wich is different in other groups..

 

[FFFZ]

Croatia vs Serbia. This will be fight...

 

[Dazzlà]

Wales will dominate group A, no problem and England play both euro 2012 hosts lol..

 

[Thierry14]

France with Spain

 

[nikolapfc89]

yeah but many people mix us with Slovenia..

That is shame! I mean,geographic is not knowledge,It is a matter of general culture...

Croatia vs Serbia. This will be fight...

I can tell you know,if you think about fans,there no way to be away fans on both matches

 

[Valon]

i expect your group to be very entertaining matches, becouse all 4 top countries there are closely on similar level..wich is different in other groups..

yeah they are about the same level and will be really strong matchs between 4 first teams , need to wait and see what will happen

 

[FFFZ]

I can tell you know,if you think about fans,there no way to be away fans on both matches

I mean in football sense, but at matches there will be only home fans, not away, because holders of matches (UEFA) will not sell tickets to away fans.

 

[nikolapfc89]

Yeah,football sense for sure Definetly one hard match to play!

Do you know,i know its early,but where will be played?Split or Zagreb?

 

[ThomasGOAL]

What about 5 teams group ? what France need to do for become in the short list of 8 best second ?

 

[Andr3]

Portugal group it's not very difficult and we can easily pass, but we just need to be carefull with Russia imo.

 

[PIPA23]

two teams from each group qualify for world cup..

also back to slovakia, we had big luck, as from the rest of Spain, England or Greece, we got the "easyest" for last in grop..so all are playable..

That is shame! I mean,geographic is not knowledge,It is a matter of general culture...

yeah, it´s always like this, we are slavic countries so we know our geography, but western world see us mostly as former Jugoslavia or CCCP so it´s difficult to explain we are totaly different countries.. with just simillar name

 

[FFFZ]

Yeah,football sense for sure Definetly one hard match to play!

Do you know,i know its early,but where will be played?Split or Zagreb?

The match will be probably played in Zagreb, because our fans show up swastika on match against Georgia.

 

[Thierry14]

What about 5 teams group ? what France need to do for become in the short list of 8 best second ?

the same thing as the best seconds from the other groups

 

[Dazzlà]

two teams from each group qualify for world cup..

no.. 2nd place goes into play off

yeah, it´s always like this, we are slavic countries so we know our geography, but western world see us mostly as former Jugoslavia or CCCP so it´s difficult to explain we are totaly different countries.. with just simillar name

yes because you are slavic your geography is awesome and all people in west dont know shit.. cool stereotyping bro..

 

[Rentalkid]

All the second placed teams of the 6-team groups will have both their results against the bottom placed team subtracted from their end result. So it is actually leveled ground for an eventual runner up from group I.

Could be great matches between France and Spain, but I kinda expect borefests deluxe.

 

[ThomasGOAL]

the same thing as the best seconds from the other groups

With two less games ?

 

[Kanouté]

I ain't any obsessed with Greeks but it just catches my attention, oh, is it really possible to be as "lucky" as Greece NT not to have one of those "big" teams (those that secure the top spot in their groups almost in every qualification) in your group for the fifth time in a row? Believe me, I wouldn't like to be disrespectful to Greeks here. Maybe I'm just a bit too much mistrustful about UEFA.

 

[PIPA23]

yes because you are slavic your geography is awesome and all people in west dont know shit.. cool stereotyping bro..

i´m not talking about England, ask an american about Europe, they mostly don´t have a clue about other countries than France, Germany and England.. i´m not saying this with anger, i said this just about the mixing of names of our country and Slovenia..not about whole geography..

many people in USA for example don´t even know Czechoslovakia split in 1993..

but that´s OT, sorry if you felt i said something wrong..

Greece has been seeded ever since winning the Euro in 2004, though, right?
So they'd naturally avoid the "big guns" coming from pot 1 themselves.

It is simple. When calculating points for 8 best second placed teams, points from matches with teams from 6th pot won't count for second placed teams in groups A-H. So don't worry

From Wikipedia:

Because one group has one team fewer than the others, matches against the sixth-placed team in each group are not included in this ranking. As a result, eight matches played by each team will count for the purposes of the second-placed table.

i think it´s luck, or if you can say it this way.. every year the teams are different strenght and everytime it´s live with some former players etc like today Ronaldo, making the draw..so.. it´s just coincidence i think.. there will be tough matches for Greece anyway.. we and Bosnia are the same level so it might be between 3 teams, as in most of other groups.. Remember everyone said Argentina must be a Copa America champion with the squad and at home..but they were not..so i expect many surprises in this qualification as well..
