Zoom7000 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 It was hilarious how the whole arena was quiet all throughout the ceremony but burst into laughter when England got Croatia! Oh well, I suppose it's a decent looking group. No real "group of death" either. Can't believe Denmark and Sweden in the same group again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top two sides from each of those groups will then enter one final group, from which the top three teams qualify. The fourth team in the group will play off against the fifth place South American side. Does it really have to be like this? now don't ask me what this means... 1A: USA play Dominica or Barbados 1B: Guatemala play Turks and Caicos Islands or St Lucia 1C: Trinidad and Tobago play Bermuda or Caymen Islands 1D: Cuba play Aruba or Antigua and Barbuda 2A: Mexico play Belize or St Kitts and St Nevis 2B: Jamaica play Bahamas or British Virgin Islands 2C: Honduras play Dominican Republic or Puerto Rica 2D: The winner of Canada v St Vincent and the Grenadines gets a bye 3A: Costa Rica play US Virgin Islands or Grenada 3B: Guyana play Suriname or Montserrat 3C: Panama play El Salvador or Anguilla 3D: Haiti play Nicaragua or Netherlands Antilles. Africa: So this is what's going on here: 12 groups of four, from which winners and the best eight runners-up will advance to five final groups of four. The winners - plus any team second to South Africa (this goes towards the 2010 African Nations Cup as well) - will make it to the first World Cup to be held on African soil. Group 1: Cameroon, Cape Verde Islands, Tanzania, Mauritius Group 2: Guinea, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Kenya Group 3: Angola, Benin, Uganda, Niger Group 4: Nigeria, South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, Sierra Leone Group 5: Ghana, Libya, Gabon, Lesotho Group 6: Senegal, Algeria, Liberia, Gambia Group 7: Ivory Coast, Mozambique, Botswana, Madagascar Group 8: Morocco, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mauritania Group 9: Tunisia, Burkina Faso, Brundi, Seychelles Group 10: Mali, Congo, Sudan, Chad Group 11: Togo, Zambia, Eritrea, Swaziland Group 12: Egypt, Congo DR, Malawi, Djibouti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom7000 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 What happened to the Oceania qualifying. Seeing as they moved Australia into Asia, does that mean the rest of them don't really matter? I found this on Wikipedia, but struggling to make any sense of it.

Crazysah Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 What happened to the Oceania qualifying. Seeing as they moved Australia into Asia, does that mean the rest of them don't really matter? I found this on Wikipedia, but struggling to make any sense of it. No. It is the smae qualifying in Oceania without Australia. They all play in a group stage and the winner plays the 5th place team from Asia and then 1 goes on to the World Cup!
