2014 WC QUAL UEFA GRP A - CRO - SER - BEL - SCO - MAC - WAL
2014 WC QUAL UEFA GRP A - CRO - SER - BEL - SCO - MAC - WAL
There will be eight groups of six teams and a single group of five teams. The nine group winners qualify, while the eight best runners-up – ranked according to all their games except for games against the sixth-placed team in their group – will play-off for the four remaining spots. The worst runner up is out.
Tiebreakers
For FIFA World Cup qualifying stages the method used for separating teams level on points is the same for all Confederations, as decided by FIFA itself.[6]
If teams are even on points at the end of group play, 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
If teams are still equal then a single play-off at a neutral venue will be played. If scores are level after 90 minutes in the play-off, then two 15-minutes periods of extra time and (if required) a penalty shoot-out would determine the winner.

Prediction:
Croatia winner
Serbia runner up
worst 2nd placed team contenders:
Group A (Serbia)
Group D (Sweden or Republic Ireland)
Group H (Not England)
Group I (France)
I hope Belgium will qualify but I don't think they will with that loser as a coach. Prediction qualification hopes end in october 2012. Worst 2nd is the best they can do, but hopefully I'm wrong.

What did they show against France, nothing they stayed with 11 for the goal.Lyonnais wrote:Belgium were disappointing in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, but from what I saw from the recent friendly France - Belgium, this is a decent team in all lines.
It's a balanced group and I think that they have their chances in this group, although teams like Croatia and Serbia are never easy to play.
No with that idiot as a coach we won't get anywhere.

Negotiations apparently ongoing to play this earlier, maybe Fri 31 May.maluyaca wrote: Friday 7 juni 2013:

Closer to end of the club season and would let Scotland enter in proposed FA 150th Anniversary Tournament during 1st half of June*.
Other UK nations kept June clear for this reason.
*if England not at Confederations Cup... !!

1 Croatia
2 Belgium
3 Wales
4 Serbia
5 Macedonia
6 Scotland
Croatia have the best team, Belgium will screw up the playoff, the revitilised Welsh will give it a shot but miss out, Serbia will do as they did in 2012 qualifyng, Macedonia will pick up a few wins at home, and Scotland will be thumped by everyone.

I don't see how you can call the Belgian coach "defensive".
Just have a look at the line up and he always tries to score at least 2 goals.
The only problem that Belgium has right now except from too many top class players is the backs.
I enjoy this group as it it doesn't have any top class teams in it and basically it's an open group.
I say that Belgium is going to end first in their group followed by Croatia then.
