Ah right, yeah. Misread the tables when I glanced at them earlier.

In your fuckin' face, Billo!!!

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Billo is a doddery old fool. Of course.
We'll probably win the 2 games and Bill will have the party hat on and champagne out on air.

Billo is a legend. Not only is he the best presenter on the telly, he has even narrowly dodged death on one occasion.

You can't make mistakes like he made.
Not at this level, baby. You'll be found out!

That sounds like the twisted boasting of his would-be assassin.

Germany and France account for roughly 144 million people so Ronaldo acounts for roughly 144 millionth the size of france and germany Maths like?

Ego wise I can't make that estimation at last guess it was double the size of Belarus.

We wont beat italy neither will Cyprus thats just how it is. Put an end to this pipe dreaming.

On the plus side Greece might not get second Portugal might not either. could be sweden and latvia unfortunately were only rated above Latvia so it won't be enough to get us into the first pot, How do we feel about sweden though? at least if they beat us at Croker we might all get our sympathy hole in Whelans.

Eh we're 3 places above Sweden too, at the moment:

Though there's the possibility they could catch us by the time the draw is made.. I hope we make the damn playoffs now because all this anxious speculation is going to seem very silly otherwise.

 

[Hector Grey]

fuck that, when has ronaldo ever performed on the biggest stage. you'd hardly miss the preening cunt. frank ribery is a better player. and, seriously, it just wouldn't be the world cup without germany. it would be like throwing a war and them not turning up.

 

[Froog]

so there's zero chance of us being in the top half of the seeds?

 

[BonsaiSuperstar]

ah I know Ronaldo isn't as big as Germany and France - and of course I want them there. But he is a great PR exercise down in a country like South Africa for FIFA and selling shirts. He is so sellable...so so sellable....

.......what have you heard? !ninjaaaa

Billo is a doddery old fool.

That is bang out of order. Take it back.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Greece are 4th, we're 5th. There's a huge gulf between 4th and 5th. Greece would be grand -they're shite.

Right you are the rankings i saw are from january they were 31 we were 38.

So we could in theory make it into pot 1? is this a possibility? surely we'd jump equal places by getting a result against the world champions ?

 

[washingcattle]

That is bang out of order. Take it back.

Seconded.

 

[Jerry Twig]

Did you not read my post at all. There's 26 places between Greece at 4th (12) and us at 5th (38), so no.

 

[washingcattle]

Yeah but what happens if Greece don't get second and Latvia do? they're on the same points in their group smartarse.
