I just took the rankings as they are now on the FIFA website. Probably not much room for change except for Northern Ireland maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey 3,749 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If Sweden beat the Netherlands they will likely be top seeds ahead of Northern Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 These playoffs are awful. Imagine being Ireland and hugely celebrating the win today then draw fucking Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt 1,208 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If Ireland play like they did today against any of the seeded teams (including Northern Ireland if they are seeded), they won't be going to the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,749 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ireland have never been good performers under Martin O'Neill but they get the job done. Not bad since they don't have any attacking players worth more than £5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it looks a pretty tough line up. Apparently Northern Ireland's results in this international break will have them moved to unseeded with Denmark taking their place. I think Denmark's probably their best bet. I think both will probably go out to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I'd like to see them both qualify but can't really see it, looks tough. Republic of Ireland are capable of going away and nicking a 1-0 though, and the job Michael O'Neill has done with Northern Ireland is amazing so I wouldn't rule that out.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I want to see the best teams and players in it so Italy and Portugal (if they end up in the play-offs) have to go through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 17,859 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted October 10, 2017 Switzerland/Italy/Croatia/Denmark are seeded. Northern Ireland, Sweden, Republic of Ireland/Greece unseeded. I reckon it'll be: Switzerland vs Sweden Italy vs Greece Denmark vs Northern Ireland Croatia vs Republic of Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Italy vs Greece is bound to be the most boring matchup in the history of anything. Hope Italy, Ireland, Croatia and Denmark go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,692 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I hope it's not Italy against Greece because I'd like to see both countries in the tournament. The others I don't really care about to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia because I love watching Modric and they have Andrej Kramaric in their side too who seems to have found comfortability in Hoffenheim with his form now being applied internationally too. And Denmark because of Kasper Schmeichel of course, as well as Eriksen who is a superb talent. Not too bothered about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon 2,692 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just now, Stan said: i want Croatia There's also Rakitić for me... Yeah! Very good side to watch when they're firing on all cylinders. But they've been average for some months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
