2010 World Cup qualifying draw - UEFA

November 26th, 2007 by SM Dev (Ste)

Yesterday in Durban, South Africa, the 2010 World Cup qualifying draw for teams in the UEFA zone was made:

Group 1 Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Albania, Malta

Group 2 Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Moldova, Latvia, Luxembourg

Group 3 Czech Republic, Poland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia, San Marino

Group 4 Germany, Russia, Finland, Wales, Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein

Group 5 Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Bosnia Herzegovina, Armenia, Estonia

Group 6 Croatia, England, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra

Group 7 France, Romania, Serbia, Lithuania, Austria, Faroe Islands

Group 8 Italy, Bulgaria, republic of Ireland, Cyprus, Georgia, Montenegro

Group 9 Holland, Scotland, Norway, FYR Macedonia, Iceland

The winners of each group will automatically qualify for the 2010 World Cup, along with the best second placed team. There are only five teams in Group 9. When the groups are finished, the results against the bottom teams in the other eight groups are discounted, and the best eight runners-up will face two legged play-offs to qualify.

Are you happy with your nations qualifying group?

  • 4. stevie d  |  November 26th, 2007 at 4:45 pm

    i come from republic of ireland and we have got Italy which will be a hard match, georgia who caused scotland problems, cypris who we only took a point of in our 2 euro 2008 qualifiers and bulgaria who berbatov play 4 so i am worried about are group but if we can get a new good manager in i’m sure we can get through

  • 5. Jan-Ake  |  November 26th, 2007 at 5:43 pm

    I am from Sweden and I heard that we are to face our neighbours Denmark again.
    Portugal is probably the toughest opponent in the group.
    On the radio I heard that Albania can be a tough opponent, while I
    believe that Hungary would be more difficult to win against.
    Most people seem to agree that Malta is the weakest team in the group.

    Here is my prediction of the group.

    1 Sweden
    2 Portugal
    3 Denmark
    4 Hungary
    5 Albania
    6 Malta

  • 13. victor  |  November 26th, 2007 at 8:32 pm

    i’m romanian i live in canada though.

    first of all you gotta be kidding me with italy’s group. classic italy like they dont have horseshoe’s you know where for every major competition…they have to compete with bulgaria and ireland lets be serious.

    romania is paired with france and serbia. i just don’t see romania coming first there…also going to be tough being the 2nd place team as it is in that group.

    there are many other highly disputable groups as well…i was just more miffed at italy’s group more than anything.

  • 14. sak ;)  |  November 26th, 2007 at 9:03 pm

    im from croatia and i think our group is the toughest. if england bring a good manager they could be 2nd but ukraine is really good. i dont think theres a big question bout croatia as we have already shown whats class football. :D

  • 15. antonio naddeo hannant  |  November 26th, 2007 at 9:08 pm

    england haven’t got a chance sorry england fans but they can’t even beat russia and croatia mclarens gone nd we r gunna have a 2010 world cup with out the 1966 champions bring back best charlton nd the team from 66 and then we will have a chance italy will cruise through there group scotland will b a stronger side by the time the qualifiers come around portugal will top there group nd the suprise for me should be wales and r.of ireland

  • 16. Charisteas is my hero  |  November 27th, 2007 at 12:38 am

    Greece got a lucky group. We should definitely come out on top.

  • 17. dutch guy  |  November 27th, 2007 at 6:39 am

    i think holland are gonna win with van nistelrooi and rvp along with kuyt and robben

    were gonna top da table
    we got the scots coming second with mcfadden and gordon,quality.
    but holland will see the of soon loool

    na france or germany have the easiest group.

    england wont qualify, but im still hoping.
    we have world class players but we cant play the big matches. its shockin how we can lose 2 croatia with gerrard lampard and crouch and beckham, even when our whole defecne was injured

  • 29. :)  |  November 28th, 2007 at 1:35 am

    Being honest Scotland and England and the other home nations will have no chance if they qualify as the heat ect will play a huge part in the competition and again Brazil Italy or France will win it imo.

  • 30. cem  |  November 28th, 2007 at 4:32 pm

    turkey the best in group

  • 31. Tom Greenfield (Forum)  |  November 28th, 2007 at 7:11 pm

    I think england will make up for costly errors in the euro 2008 and win this group, 4 points of croatia, 6 off ukraine and the rest…

    It was too much heartbreak this one surely in euor 2008 to split this time round??

  • 32. ibrahim  |  November 29th, 2007 at 9:36 am

    TURKİYE !!! we are the best team in our group :)

    killer group is group 3 cech rebulic poland northan ireland slovakia slovenia and the best of the worst teams san marino

    i personally support england so i would want them to go through =]

  • 35. stevie d  |  November 29th, 2007 at 8:38 pm

    i agree with liam, group 3 is the killer group any of the teams ( except san marino ) cud go through. but if healy does it again for the irish they shud go through

  • 36. wayne  |  November 29th, 2007 at 10:51 pm

    i predict england will turn the tables in world cup qauls and win the group with 2 games to spare then go to the2010 world cup and win it for the second time massive odds bet now

    serbia is going to be 1st of group 7… to all croatians: dont get to cocky because of what you did in EURO qualifying, it might bight you back on the ass

  • 39. Ayrton  |  November 30th, 2007 at 5:43 pm

    In Group 1 certainly Sweden and Portugal will be main contenders to qualify but Malta will try to make good results in these qualifiers as we have one of the most fast players in the world Micheal Mifsud

    Maltese fan

  • 40. sak ;)  |  November 30th, 2007 at 7:28 pm

    miki calm down… are only jelaous… :p

  • 41. stevie d  |  November 30th, 2007 at 9:27 pm

    england will struggle 2 get through but they will prevail in the end finishin in 2nd place behind croatia. they will play unatrackitive football as they always do but in the end qualify and every english football fan will start shouting on about how there country will win the world cup. ( like always!!)

  • 42. victor a  |  December 1st, 2007 at 12:07 am

    LMAOOO

    i love all the england/scotland talk on this website…england haven’t beaten romania in like 25 years…(2-1 petrescu right through seaman’s legs last time) if i remember correctly i was really young.

    the one guy “dutch guy” says netherlands will take the WC they won’t even win EURO theyll choke like they always do with their finesse superstars.

    also why are people saying that group with the czechs and poland could have any 2 teams advancing???? it’s clearly going to be czech republic and poland going through… these are established nations with outstanding development in their youth squads northern ireland might come 3rd but theres no question for 1-2 get real guys.

  • 43. Nic 4 life  |  December 1st, 2007 at 8:50 am

  • 59. victor a  |  December 3rd, 2007 at 3:33 am

    fifa rankings dont mean anything those rankings are so messed. i remember last WC czech rep was ranked like 3rd in the world and they got jacked by like every team in their group except US.

    netherlands are by far the softest team in the euro theyll win their WC qualifyin group but they cant beat anyone at a major tournament.

  • 60. dutch kid  |  December 3rd, 2007 at 7:28 pm

    we can win the euro wtch wen we win our group wiv france or italy

  • 61. Josi  |  December 5th, 2007 at 7:37 am

    I reckon we will win group 9, and Holland second, although i dont know, holland are a challenge, But we can do anything at hampden, unless the officials are against us.

    And dutch kid, we lost 2-0 to Georgia, because half or team was missing through suspension/Injuries, and Eck had totally changed the formation, for a more attacking approach, which was a poor move.

  • 63. iain  |  July 7th, 2008 at 10:06 pm

    group 3 i tink this will be an interestin group as the mighty norn iron were so close to the euro 2008 finals and if we can beat the the champions we can beat anyone in this group but in other groups come on croatia

  • 64. Phil  |  July 9th, 2008 at 8:47 pm

    Hey victor a what you said about czechs in last world cup.. they were actually second… and they were that good because it was based on them being semi-finalists in euro before that and then having amazing qualifying record the points all add up. But in games against Ghana and Italy a player got a red card early.. Koller was injured for last two games.. and baros for first two then in last he was completely ineffective for he wasn’t recovered yet an he was taken early in the second… And even our third striker missed game against italy.. Vratislav Lokvenc.

  • 65. Sean Wright  |  July 14th, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    (im scottish)well i think Scotland and Holland will go through group 9 i think maybe 1-1 with scotland and holland. holland r 1 of bst teams in world. bt Scotland r vry good they shot from 86th to 16th in the world rankings anyway holland n scotland will go through.

  • 66. Enton Spahiu  |  September 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 am
