Guest alex Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Is there no best performing 3rd place berth this year? I think it's just 8 groups with 2 from each making the 16 in the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathras 234 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 29. USA (30) They get to play 'diddy' teams and still move up places, how fair is that? Not only that, we haven't won since June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 These rankings (in most, if not all, sport) are a load of bollix imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RlCO 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Have you seen how they're worked out? Totally unecessarily complicated, everything accounted for bar the wind direction on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Now Australia have left I'd like to see Oceania get a qualifying berth at the next World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 234 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Now Australia have left I'd like to see Oceania get a qualifying berth at the next World Cup. New Zealand are better than you'd think. ... and since the new playoff for Oceania is against the 5th place Asian team, I'd expect them to have a decent shot. Unless they lose to Vanuatu again.

I can actually remember the 'All Whites' playing in the '82 World Cup. They were in the same group as Brazil, Scotland and the Soviet Union iirc.
