when is the playoff draw for europe?

[The Joker]

Its doesnt matter the big teams will usually step up in crucial times when they have to win.
Sure the smaller teams are going to give everything but France and Portugal are possible WC candidates to win it let alone qualifying.
The form they take to WC will not affect their WC performance at all.

Portugal possible WC candidates? With this kind of performance?

I know the big teams always come back when it's crucial times, but this time I doubt. It will be a close match to be honest. All teams can upset and everything is possible.

aaww man it was obvious they wanted certain teams like france, portugal and greece to make it


ireland could easily pull an upset on france and i wouldn't count out bosnia for beating portugal

[The Joker]

^Ireland and Bosnia are good teams. They can put some upsets here.

bosnia=overrated. their group had nobody in it, they lost and tied against turkey, lost to spain twice. and they handled the minnows of the group estonia, armenia, and belgium. bosnia even lost to iran during the course of qualfying. portugal should win at least by 3-4 goals on aggregate.

and france will be missing ribery for the playoff.

^If I were you, I shouldn't count Bosnia out. The only thing which could trouble Bosnia is their shaky defence. Portugal have some good individual skill players who could cause some troubles to Bosnia defence. That's the only thing Im worried. If they fix their defence, it will be a 50-50 game and I think Bosnia will take this one.

Ribery will be missing and suddenly France could be in danger. I mean Ireland are a good team and I think France without Ribery, will not be as powerful as we think.

France without Ribery will be very weak just like Bayern without him. Portugal without Ronaldo will be very gimped also, So Im counting on Ireland and Bosnia to wipe the shit FIFA threw in at Europe's WCQ.

portugal is better without ronaldo

^Agreed there. But with Portugal they will be even worse. Let's hope so.
