Btw, I don't think Holland will win teh World Cup - their team spirit always seems to suck so that when things go against them, they've no bottle to grind out results.
I see nothing to indicate that this current crop of talented individuals is any different.
Basically they use the seedings only to rank the teams from the same continents. Each group, to qualify for the next round, has to have at least one team from the CONCACAF or Africa, a team from Europe and a team from S. America or Asia. It's something like that anyway.Originally Posted by Withcheese
Then the holders cannot be in the same group as the hosts and the S. American teams have to be kept apart. So it's to do with the FIFA seedings, but not really
As for Brazil having to qualify - it's bollocks, particularly after the Liverpool CL debacle.

However to get a draw against Italy in a serious game is a feckin' amazing result. W Smith was actually disappointed when they equalized which is what we want to see.
Smith, Burns and McCoist went mental when we scored the opener, it was great to see true passion for the team. Engerland may wish to emulate this in their next manager.
Since he's not got much experience in managing any side, let alone an international side, I think David Beckham is doing okay in deciding on the Engerland tactics and team selection.
I think not, a lucky deflected goal against Wales (no offence manker) is little to crow about.Originally Posted by manker

It's odd how Toshack keeps banging on about a rebuilding policy but the only thing he's done is stop picking Savage - who is the best Welsh midfielder by a mile - in favour of random lower league Cockneys who know their Dad 'is from somewhere Welsh'.
Other than that personality clash, he's picking the only players he can. Eight players retired from International football when Sparky left for Blackburn![]()
I think it's a pity that Savage isn't playing, good player and plenty of spunk about him.
Perhaps Toshack should have a wee word with him a la Roy Keane return to the Irish fold.
