Barring absolutely freakish results (basically Slovenia knocking 11 past Russia, or Slovenia winning and Bosnia losing by a combined total of about 10 goals), these are the euro2012 qualifier seedings:
Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, England, Croatia, Russia, France, Portugal
Czech Rep, Sweden, Greece, Switzerland, Serbia, Turkey, Denmark, Slovakia, Romania
Israel, Bulgaria, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Austria
Slovenia, Latvia, Hungary, Lithuania, Belarus, Belgium, Wales, Macedonia, Cyprus
Montenegro, Albania, Estonia, Georgia, Moldova, Iceland, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein
Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Malta, Faroe Islands, Andorra, San Marino
if we have a good approach to this there's no reason we can't finish at least second. none of those 2nd tier teams are really scary. good sides of course but all have had peaks and troughs over the years. no guarantee that they will be challenging for top spot.
could be some disatrous groups there for us..
equally there could be a good one
france
greece
ireland
latvia
lichetenstein
san marino
San Marino, please not again!
Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, England, Croatia, Russia, France, Portugal
Czech Rep, Sweden, Greece, Switzerland, Serbia, Turkey, Denmark, Slovakia, Romania
Israel, Bulgaria, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Austria
Slovenia, Latvia, Hungary, Lithuania, Belarus, Belgium, Wales, Macedonia, Cyprus
Montenegro, Albania, Estonia, Georgia, Moldova, Iceland, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Liechtenstein
Azerbaijan, Luxembourg, Malta, Faroe Islands, Andorra, San Marino
Take in a heartbeat:
Croatia
Slovakia
Ireland
Belarus
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg/Andorra
Would cry in a heartbeat:
Spain
Serbia
Ireland
Belgium
Montenegro
Faroes
Would get to in a heartbeat (while still having a chance):
Portugal
Switzerland
Ireland
Hungary
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg/Andorra
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
that would kill me
it couldn't happen again...
Yup, thats the nightmare group I reckon. Spain are probably the best side in the world, Serbia aren't exactly pushovers either, Belgium are bloody erratic, while we failed to score against a Novice Montengrin side, and Kerr would kill himself to take points off us.
The thoughts of it...

yep wed draw with everyone and loose to spain and prob come third in the group at best..... mabe beat the faroes at home!
When is the next one out?
Dunno how these things are calculated.
Would last nights result count as a win over the 90 minutes in terms of how seeding points are distributed???
Good point - i dont know the answer to it either ....
Well, UEFA have now updated the seedings they'll be using for the Euro 2012 draw :

New rankings out today and Ireland have dropped 5 places to 44th in the world / 24th in Europe. It's not that significant for us right now, but it was a bit surprising to see us drop by so much. I guess the next time we have to worry about seedings is (hopefully) the draw for the Euro 2012 play-offs?
44th
When Stan was pushed out the door we were ranked about 32 or 33
Trap has us on a downward slide but has managed to convince us that we are on the up and up.
it was October 2007, we were 32nd in the October figures, and 35th in the November figures.44th

Two losses on the bounce didn't help the ranking
