Scotland and Wales players can book ther 2014 summer holidays now, as neither will qualify. England got a good draw so will probably beat everyone in their group then lose every game in the finals. 

Of course the only group that matters is Group F, which the mighty Northern Ireland will go through like a fecking shortcut. Bring it!

England in the same group as Poland and San Marino..
never saw that one coming :-p

*cough* every 4 years *cough*

may i be the first to laugh very loudly at the french? :-D HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

may i also add that the draw for the world cup took so long that the Brazilian builders are now back on track with building the stadia on time...

it is?

Group A: Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, SCOTLAND, Macedonia, WALES

Bullshit.  Croatia have never beaten us, we gave the Welsh a showing up the other month, we've improved enough not to slip up against Macedonia and I'm sure we can beat Belgium and Serbia at Hampden if not away.  If we can't book a play-off spot at least, I'll be very, very surprised.  This is the most favourable draw we've had in a long, long time.  As for Norn......goodbye!

Bullshit.  Croatia have never beaten us,

--> That's because you haven't  played them yet...

we gave the Welsh a showing up the other month,

-->  that's because you played your first team and everyone else played their under 14 wheelchair team

we've improved enough not to slip up against Macedonia 

-->  They have 11 Alexander the Greats playing for them. You have 11 midget alcoholics with nobbly knees.

and I'm sure we can beat Belgium and Serbia at Hampden if not away. 

--> I'll bet, at best, you'll get 2 points out of 12 in those games 

If we can't book a play-off spot at least, I'll be very, very surprised.  This is the most favourable draw we've had in a long, long time. 

--> A triumph of optimis over common sense. Besides the life expectancy of Scots is 27 years so most of your team will be dead by 2014 -- too many battered Mars Bars.

As for Norn......goodbye!

-->  The silky skills of our p/t Irish League, English 3rd division and scottish league 1 players shall prevail over the fancy dan Ronaldos and Nanis.

We have played Croatia, and they've never beaten us.  As for the "under 14 wheelchair team" - isn't that Northern Ireland's full strength side?  You live in a blinkered world full of generalised stereotypes ya fanny!  Get out more, learn a bit, and then come back to me and talk football.

i want scotland to qualify just so we english can laugh at them mercilessly when they lose to the mighty football powers of Iran and costa rica again...

Perhaps if the British football teams would unite instead of sending 4 teams - they might have a better chance in a world cup? Germany lucky as ever will sweat through the qualifying scared to lose to the Faroer Islands :-)

Is Germany more successful now than when it was West and East Germany? Unless I'm mistaken, West Germany won more World and Euro Cups than Germany. 

A Uk team would consist of 11 English players with some token N.Irish, Welsh and Scottish in the squad to make it look like a UK team. Not because the English players are necessarily better, but because they have the most wealth, biggest potential audience, and best national league of the 4 Home countries.

Also, Northern Ireland beat England 1-0 the last time we played them. That's not entirely relevant -- I just like to mention it at every opportunity :)

This is true.  The English would monopolise a GB team, and we'd all lose our national and footballing identities.  Team GB, I think, would also be referred to as England by most of the other commentators.  Also, I'd like to mention that the last time we played England, we beat them 1-0 lol.  And it was at the old Wembley too, so sweet :)
