    I spent a minute looking for Germany! :ninja:

    Its a correct reflection on form, except for Northern Ireland who are at least 1 group too high.

    This was already talked about in detail in this. The official seedings were released today by Uefa but they were already known a while back.

    If you look at the World Rankings on FIFA.com Ireland are ranked 15th in the World and Switzerland are a measly 43rd. They would be so easy if we ever played them since we are almost 3 times as good as them! Err...

    Please.
    If England were 3rd seed I would still want to get them. I think we would (easily) beat England at both home and away. I really wouldn't fancy going over to Turkey either.

    Kerr said he wouldn't like a 7 team group because they would probably have to start in June but I would love a 7 team group. It gives Robbie two easy games to beat Quinn's record although I wouldn't fancy going to Kazakhstan.

    Getting England would do my day as we would be favourites to win the group in my honset opinion (but not the Brits opinion) and it would just be a great day at Croker too.

    The seedings are not done by the rankings they are done by how well a country has played in the last few qualifying campaigns, Euro Champs and World Cup. The seedings were done with the same teams for the Euro Champs qualifiers and we were top seeds, it just shows how bad we played in the qualifiers.
