I think Ukraine have somehow ended up seeded instead of Sweden.

But anyway.....hoping Iceland can somehow pull it off and qualify!

[just some bloke]

late goal for Panama against the USA puts them 2-1. Mexico LOSING YET AGAIN means as it stands they are going out without even a trip to New Zealand for the play-offs, on goals scored.

[just some bloke]

Two late goals for the USA, and Mexico are off to New Zealand

[Libertine]

Heartbreak for Panama. And of all teams we allowed Mexico to back into the play-off with a loss. I hope El Tri appreciate it...

Honduras earned the third automatic CONCACAF qualification spot with their 2-2 draw with Jamaica.

Here was the Mexican announcer with an on-air rant to end all rants after their game ended, and knowing the US had won our game...

"It is because of the USA that we are being placed in the playoff ...BECAUSE OF THEM , NOT DUE TO YOU..NOT ANY OF YOU in the green shirts ....IT WAS THEM!!.NOT YOU!..THEY DID IT!!!!!NOT YOU! remember this forever..... KEEP THIS CLEARLY IN MIND FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES! You do NOTHING for the shirt, you do NOT put the effort, you have NOT placed us in the playoffs , you HAVE NOT placed us in the WORLD CUP ..YOU WOULD NOT HAVE KEPT US ALIVE....IT WAS ESTADOS UNIDOS, NOT YOU! NOT YOU AND YOUR ARROGANCE/CONCEIT.....NOT YOU AND YOUR INFAMY....NOT YOU AND YOUR MORONS/PUNKS....

"IT IS A FAILURE.....and UNDESERVED -to go through to the playoff- WE HAD NO ARGUMENTS to earn the playoffs, THE USA, WITH SUBS , WITH MANY SUBS as the visiting team shows us once again what the USA is all about ....how to play the game with dignity, how to approach the sport..MExico is a horror, just terrible....A FAILURE....

THE USA HAS SURPASSED US ..They are better than Mexico in SOCCER ....THEY EVEN HAVE THE LUXURY OF PLAYING THEIR SUBS and KEEPING US LIVE.... I hope our coach wears the pants and resigns..He has failed as coach...."

De nada amigos...

I'm made up for BiH - attending their first finals at last. Tuesday night in Sarajevo looked fun:

I wonder what seeding they will get for the draw. Incredibly, they are now ranked 18th in the world by FIFA.

Sweden 3-5 Germany

When did that happen!?

I like this goal



Bit of clever movement, pace, then BOSH

[stealthpapes]

The current Belgian squad as youngsters, including Steve Urkel as Christian Benteke



and Lukaku playing when he was 11

[YateleyRoyal]

Anyone know when the European play-off draw is made?

FIFA has just announced Brazil (who are 11th in the world rankings) are automatically seeded for the 2014 World Cup, while Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium and Switzerland are also definitely seeded. Uruguay will be the other seeded side if they beat Jordan in a two-legged play-off, but if the South American side lose the last seeding place will go to Netherlands.


Switzerland?

[Ouroboros]

Does anyone else think that there's something a bit weird about the FIFA rankings?
