World Cup draw

[Scotty]

you could be right - just re-read the rules and it does say best 8 runners up and not 8 runners upo from 6 team groups ...... so from europe's 9 groups, 8 of the teams will go to stage 2

[Yngwie]

Confirmed by Radio Scotland. Phew!

[Heilandee]

as i understand it 13 teams from the europe group go to the finals made up of 9 section  winners and 4 more from play offs between 8 best runner ups.

Us V Engurland for a place in the finals........ya can just see it now eh?

[TSTtiger]

how do they work out best runners up if were in a group of five with less points possible than group of 6 ??

[RDL]

The results against the bottom-placed teams are ignored for the countries in groups of six.

[Alex MacLeod]

The only 5 team group :

Holland

Scotland

Norway

Macedonia

Iceland

Could be better, could be worse. Good chance of being runners up and getting a play-off.

If we can continue where we left of in UERO I believe we can win this group. Holland are not doing it at the moment. Norway are reasonable but beatable. 12 points from Macedonia and Iceland is a must though.
