Winners are workers,
Losers make excuses.
BBC has same pairings but the other way around, i.e., the seeds away from home in first leg. That's how I'd have expected it.
It was the same for Euro 2000 when it allegedly wasn't seeded but the 4 teams that would have been seeded all got drawn away first!
thought that is who we would have got had we made the play-offs- Turkey,
Not to worry , at least we can start the squad rebuilding process now without the added worry of trying to negotiate a play-off.
I don't think we would have expected to take any of those teams (seeded) over two legs.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Mergey McMergerson there Mr. Moderator
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"
G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!
Easiest possible draw for the Swiss. Come on Turkey!
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Come on the Swiss!

I really do not think we would have a hope against any of those teams apart from Norway or unless it was a friendly at home.
The draw was seeded so we knew on Friday that we would have faced Spain/Turkey/Czech.Originally Posted by FarBeag
We'd have beaten the Swiss on away goals...

So in real terms we are probally better off not going through.I think on current form anyone would have to be totally deluded if they thought Ireland would get anything from the other three.Suppose it make me feel a little bit better about the result on Wednesday.

Norway got a difficult draw, but we have nothing to lose and we often perform better vs good teams than vs minnows. So why not...
The Spanish coach seems to be not happy at all with Slovakia, he says they're a tough side and wanted to avoid them. Would be great if Spain would be kicked out by a small country before the WC even begins...
And although none of both are of particular interest to me, I prefer Switzerland over Turkey.
agree with Gerrit, would prefer Slovakia to get through, are underdogs and I have never liked Spainbig diving babies (still bitter from that game in 2002
)
Czech
Turkey
Slovakia
Thank you!
There was a separate draw to see who plays first.
Work's Bogey
Ive a turkish jersey at home here, ill be wearing it and praying turkey beat switzerland over the two legs
For me:
Norway (obviously)
Switzerland
Slovenia
As long as Norway qualifies however, I won't care too much about the other two.
If you'd ever go to visit Belgium or Netherlands, don't wear that shirt. There are tenthousands of Turks in the countries and let's say people are getting quite racist about them and about Muslims in general (hence the victory of the racist party in the last Flemish elections and the victory of racist PPF in the Netherlands a few years ago
Disgusting. The big teams aren't protected enough as it is according to UEFA ??
They already have seeded teams when drawing the groups, why do they have to corrupt the play-off draw as well? I mean, these teams all ended 2nd in their group, why not just put them all in the same jar? Is UEFA that afraid to see a minnow proceed instead of mighty Spain? The whole system disgusts me
