Did they just stopped playing or what. Pretty funny, but won't matter at all with these terrible teams in the grp. I hope they will change the sytem in the future. The terrible teams like ireland, farorer island and even sweden should play their own preliminaries and the winners play against the good teams like spain, holland, germany... | ||

Still, Poland vs England was much better. ![[image loading]](http://redir.atmcdn.pl/scale/o2/tvn/web-content/m/p1/i/2de5d16682c3c35007e4e92982f1a2ba/51753f20-17e8-11e2-8bca-0025b511226e.jpg?type=1&quality=90&srcmode=4&srcx=0/1&srcy=0/1&srcw=640&srch=2000&dstw=640&dsth=2000) | ||

And I still don't understand why they didn't just close the roof in Poland. Hint: A roof protects the building and its contents from the effects of weather | ||

Hint: A roof protects the building and its contents from the effects of weather They require 24 hours notice to close it. lol. But it's football, it's supposed to be played outside not under a roof. Guess they just didn't foresee such bad waterlogging. | ||

Except terrible team is a totally subjective statement. Ten years ago, France could have ended as a first seed, and nowadays, not anymore, for example. The "good teams" already have an advantage, because they can't be seeded against another good teams. If they can't win against second tier teams, it's their problem, and maybe someone else will pick their seed one day or another. | ||

Europe is too big to add in too many layers of qualifications | ||

If theres anything that Sweden Germany game should have taught you its that everyone needs to earn qualification, wether its against terrible teams or otherwise. Sure theres a ton of trash games, but that doesnt mean top teams just earned themselves a free ride. The system is fine. | ||

US Jamaica Mexico Costa Rica Honduras Panama Top 3 make it to world cup final, 4th plays off against Oceania (meaning New Zealand basically). Mexico looks by far the best, anything can happen between all the rest I think. Also what happened to Canada, they just needed a draw against Honduras in the last game to make it, lost 8-1. US should be the 2nd favorite in the group but they have been pretty bad in qualifying so far, last night was their only mostly convincing game really. | ||
