Best outlook for Croatia, Poland, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Italy and The Netherlands.

But who knows what will happens as next? :question:

 

France beat Latvia with two late goals lucky 2:0.

Luxembourg - Romania 0:2, Romania qualified

The Netherlands had a terrible game, they were booed off the pitch after their 2-0 victory.

Robben came on as a sub and was swapped after 30 minutes of dramatic play!

 

The positive thing is that the Bulgarians had a draw in Albania and now the Dutch team only needs two points out of the last two games, the first one being Luxemburg at home.

They have made it unnecessarily difficult for themselves.

Just can't believe that a team who manages to beat France twice fails to qualify :dunno:

 

did you see France play yesterday?

If so, you could give this answer to yourself :smirk:

 

uups, yes Portugal have also a hand on the ticket!

Scots close in on England ranking

 

Scotland are on the verge of overtaking England after rising to their highest position in the Fifa world rankings.

 

Despite their 2-0 loss in Georgia, the Scots have moved from 14th to 13th - two places behind England, who fell to 11th from ninth after losing to Russia.

 

The top nine teams will be seeded for the 2010 World Cup qualifying rounds.

 

Argentina head the rankings, Brazil are second, Italy third, the managerless Republic of Ireland are 32nd, Northern Ireland 36th and Wales 58th.

 

If Scotland maintain their current position, they will qualify for the second group of seeds, a significant improvement from their Euro 2008 campaign, where they were among the fourth-ranked teams.

 

And their position could improve further if the Scots beat world champions Italy in their final Euro 2008 qualifier on 17 November, a match they must win to reach the finals next year.

 

It is a tough assignment for Alex McLeish's side against the World Cup holders, but they have reason for hope after taking maximum points from their previous home qualifying games against the Faroes, France, Georgia, Lithuania and the Ukraine.

 

England's hopes of finishing in the top nine have been severely dented following their defeat in Moscow.

 

The battle for qualification from Group E is now out of England's hands.

 

Croatia need only one point from their remaining two games to qualify. Russia will qualify if they win their remaining two games, while England, who play Croatia at Wembley in their last game, need Russia to slip up.

 

Meanwhile, the Republic's failure to qualify for the tournament in Austria and Switzerland led to the Football Association of Ireland terminating the contract of manager Steve Staunton by mutual consent.

 

Under-21 boss Don Givens will take temporary charge of the senior side.
