Greece, Portugal, Ukraine, Croatia top seeds France, Sweden, Iceland, Romania lower seeds
France sent a complain to the FIFA, saying that as a team in a group of 5 they've played 2 less official games than the other teams, so their ranking has been affected by this. Ukraine is just one point ahead of France, so if FIFA decides in favour of France, France would be in the top seeds and Ukraine would go to the lower seeds. I doubt they will decide in France favour but you never know x)
Really sad news, the greatest striker ever, the blazing Gabriel Batistuta was diagnosed with SLA, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease. He already is at the point which standing for over 30mins a day is painful. They say medical treatment from his active years has caused it to develop, Q_Q.
Not only he was my fav player but also an idol, I actually played exactly like him and even grew my hair for a while, heh. This man who was practically flying across the field will now sit idle in a bed and wither and die.

Is this accurate? Sweden is ranked ahead of both Ukraine and France. o.O
Meanwhile, it looks like Honduras is on their way to qualification. (currently up 2-1 against Jamaica. All they need is a draw, or if Mexico doesn't win, they can lose)
Please win Costa Rica Costa Rica takes the lead but USA equalizes with Panama :/ I don't want the US to throw or anything but it would be kind of funny if Mexico didn't make it

Didn't Mexico make it to 5 straight ro16 in the past 5 WCs? It would be funny if they failed to qualify. They do seem to suck right now

When will Loew realise they cant win a title without a defense...
What are you talking about? In a game of counter attacks and long sprints you cannot just say a defense is non existant. Its just temporarily instable
conceding three goals vs Sweden is inexcusable...
Khedira, Gündogan and both Benders were missing, all of them would bring defensive stability. Also the defense will have much more time to train together before the World Cup. I'm not worried.
Maybe Germany will play without a striker at the World Cup. Might give them more defensive stability.

But Klose needs to get the all time goals record!
If Germany lands some weak teams in their group, rest assure he will get his chances.

That fucking Mexico bicycle kick the other day >.< pretty goal but so unfortunate
Panama! They should have the tiebreaker off the 2nd one right?
the tied teams will be ranked by:
goal difference in all group matches greater number of goals scored in all group matches greater number of points obtained in matches between the tied teams goal difference in matches between the tied teams greater number of goals scored in matches between the tied teams greater number of away goals scored in matches between the tied teams if only two teams are tied

same GD but more goals scored?
Yea, Mexico needs to tie it up or for the US to tie to make the playin game with New Zealand.

The rankings were last updated in September. The new ranking should be updated tomorrow with the new results.
