Euro 2012 Qualification

We didn't deserve to win, but we didn't deserve to lose 6-2 neither.
At 4-2 it was over, our players couldn't run anymore.
I'm fucking pissed that in the two playoffs that we were in, we fucking picked Portugal each time, that is the strongest team in the pot.
I can only imagine what would have happened if we picked the Czechs. As Republic of Ireland was definitely going to play against Estonia...

Are you saying UEFA set the Estonia v Ireland game up to make up for the Henry incident 
Should seedings be abolished for playoffs? 9 out of 11 seeds have gone through to the WC and Euros. Kinda makes the playoffs pointless ya meaaaan.

They should just do it american playoff style....
Put the teams in order of standings, and play 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5...
out of curiosity, are you annoyed because Bosnia werent seeded?
and i agree. Ireland got Estonia after what happened in Paris. im convinced of that. football is as bent as fuck nowadays. but there wasnt anything wrong with Ireland being seeded.

After the controversy caused by the UEFA play-offs during 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying – which was widely assumed to be an unseeded draw and then later seeded by FIFA – UEFA stated from the outset that the draw for the play-offs would be seeded.[7] The four runners-up with the best positions in the UEFA team coefficient ranking system were therefore seeded.
Each nation's coefficient was generated by calculating:[11]

When I said Turkey should have been seeded and you took offense because I said Ireland shouldn't have been its because of this ridiculous seeding system. So Turkey get 20% ranking points earned for the Euro 2008 tournament, they finished Semi finals..that should count for more than just 20%. Turkey had one of the hardest groups to qualify out of but still don't get enough to be seeded? Its dodgy as fuck. UEFA are fucktards anyway, it took a Romanian accountant to calculate that Romania shouldn't be seeded last for the WC2014 qualifiers.
The whole playoff system is a joke. Croatia, Portugal, Turkey should have been the seeds, then its out of Ireland and Czech Rep, Czech rep only had 5 teams in their group for fucks sake, how is that fair?

Group A: Poland, Greece, Russia, Czech Republic
Group B: Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal
Group C: Spain, Italy, Republic of Ireland, Croatia
Group D: Ukraine, Sweden, France, England
bold being the ones I think will go through. Though its difficult. I'll probably change my mind another time. I don't think Italy are that good. ROI or Croatia can go through, ROI will be hard to beat so will probably nick a win against Italy.
Ukraine beat us at their place before so it will be difficult, France beat us recently also. Group B. Portugal will finish last.
Group A is faggotfest.
