    I mean regarding euro 08 whats the best seed we can make ourselfs?
    3rd ? 2nd ?

    Would 2 wins over the germans and a win and draw against the czechs be good enough to get 2nd seed ?

    I don't know, but if that happened and if I could ignore the sky full of pigs, I wouldn't be too worried.

    If we win all our matches we'll make pot 1, if we lost all our matches we'll be in the 2nd last pot. It's too hard to predict.

    If we won the entire tourney we'd be a #1 seed for the 2010 qualifiers. Realistically we'll finish third or fourth in our group, which will keep us as a four seed for the 2010 WC.

    IF and its a big IF they use the current system they divide the number of points gained in the last 2 qualifying tournaments by the number of games played. We got 17 points from 10 games in the last qualifiers which is 1.7. To be a no 1 seed probably need 2.2 therfore from the current qulifiers we need more than 30 points out of 12 games. If we qualify we should get enough points to get to no3 seed, no2 is very optimistic even for me.
