    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.

    Take in a heartbeat:

    Luxembourg/Andorra

    Would cry in a heartbeat:
    Spain
    Serbia
    Ireland
    Belgium

    If I question Liam Scales ability to play intl football, refer me to this signature & his peformance at home at lb vs Port on Nov 13 2025.

    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...

    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???
    I pity the fool!.... But suggest ways that he might improve himself.

    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.
    Two losses on the bounce didn't help the ranking
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook
