Before the qualifying started i agreed with everythign you wrote here execpt serbia over france, but after the first set of games things are going to be differnet. Heres what I think:

Group 1: Denmark looked good group 1 and could potential win the group if they keep playing how they did in portugal. Sweeden does not really do it for me. They are a very average team, just like greece.

GRoup 2: Greece will win this group, followed by isreal. Greece are very lucky to be in such a week group. The swiss will pay for the terrible result at home to luxembourg. Isreal are a young side (if im not mistaken) and players liek ben sahar can only get better.

Group 3 : Czech will probably end up beating poland, but well see. Im rooting for poland in that group. Mikael Zewlakow is the captain and i would love to see him do good. The Czech team is getting up there in age but still have enough in them to win the group.

GRoup 4: Germany and Russia. Not a hard group to call. Russia and germany are two really strong side. Im really impressed with this russian side and how strong they have become over the last few years. And we all know what germany is capable of.

Group 5 : If Turkey can paly consistant football they can make it. The game agasnt Belgium was not a good result. They were lucky to tie it up off a penalty. Had they not scored and lost to belgium at home, they could have been in a really deep hole. Belgium have a legit chance of making it but will only make it if Turkey screw up easy games like they did in the euros. Spain will win the group easily imo.

Group 6 : England are a good looking team under Cappello. Lets see how they can do. Easily favorites to win this group followed by croatia.

Group 7 is imo the hardest group. I think France Lithuania, Austria, Romania and Serbia have a chance at going through. Romania have looked poor to start off there campagn but we know they can be a good side if they want. Austria dud well in the euros but they were at home. Lithuania have got to a good start by dusting romania on the road and beating austria at home. Serbia have a pretty good team with some great techical players. And for France, its all about consistancy for them. Domench is a horrible coach. This french team defnatly have the skill to win the group, but will they be? I think this group is going to be won by France and Lithuania second. But well see. Imo this is the most exciting group.

Group 8 : I dunno about Italy. They just dont do it for me. This is a week group that they will win, only because it is week ( that is the reason greece is gonna win theres too) . Italy is going to win followed by Ireland.

Group 9: Scotland were impressive in the euro qualifying. Imo they will win this group with netherlands behidnt them. Netherlands were poor in euro qualifying and didnt score much. THey will qualify i just think scotland will do better.

:LOL: Brasil.

Theyll make it. How cant they its brasil. And I disagree with theLegand. I hope brasil qualifys. A world Cup with be lame without Brasil. It just wouldnt be the same. I generally aagree with your south american predictions ( but in no specific order) but I woudl say Colombia insted of uruguay.

Asia : Same thing you said. THeres not taht much other countries that can do damage.

Concacaff:

I tell you right now Canada will not make it unless they turn stuff around big time. Mexico will come first, followed by USA and then Honduras (big wild card pick) and then costa rica. But not of these teams stand a legit chance of getting out of the group in south africa expect maybe mexico but they didnt impress me that much.

In the Asia Zone, the Australian group is much easier than the other one.

When I did the predictions, I didn't have the draw for the second round and wasn't expecting to see Canada and Jamaïca together. Canada did a good Gold Cup and should have won against the US. That's why I took a bet on them. As it stands now, they won't stand a chance.

The rest of your analysis on the Europe Zone is very interesting.

ps:In English/English, we say BraZil. In American/English, they say BraSil.

CONCACAF

the way I see it

US and Mexico are locks and Costa Rica and Hondouras are also tough but I'd predict they would lose to the 5th CONEMBOL team in the playoff

Canada stinks and have screwed themselves once again

My African predictions include Egypt

Surprise from Europe Lithuania

and I'm betting both Koreas make it

As far as the rest of Europe

Greece will finish qulifying with the most points of all teams

OK, so if I get this right on how the teams qualify for the World Cup

Europe - 13 teams, 9 automatic, 4 from the playoffs

South America - 4 teams automatic, 5th place team go to playoffs

North America/Central America - 3 teams automatic, 4th place team go to playoffs

Africa - 5 teams automatic

Asia - 4 teams automatic, 5th place team go to playoffs

Oceania - 1st place team go to playoffs (New Zealand)

To be a bit more precise.

EUROPE: The "worst" second team is not going to go to the play-offs. At the moment, Scotland is in this position two points behind France.

CONCACAF: 4th team playing against the 5th in the South America Zone.

ASIA: The two teams that arrive third in both groups meet for a final play-off game against New Zealand.

quite a few suprises could be happening by the standings are looking very realistic:

Serbia could qualify ahead of France for the Automatic spot

Slovakia is poised to win their group, if they can beat the Czechs again in Bratislava there basically in......

Portugal may be going to the qualifying playoff very likley under Denmark. If Hungary holds them, they could be out altogether

In Africa, Egypt look like they may not get to the WC - AGAIN. Despite great African success, they cant get it together.

Rafik Djebour scored in Algeria's 3-1 win, and Algeria is top of the group, and very well could be heading to the WC next summer - if not them then Zambia or Egypt if they can manage the comeback.

If North Korea holds on, they could be going to the WC too. Would be very interesting...

El Salvador finally has a decent team this year, beat Mexico and held the USA, and basically leading candidate for 3rd CONCACAF spot.......possibly at Mexico's expense, though I think Mexico will come back.
