We didn’t lobby FIFA so that Saudi Arabia didn’t make it to 5th in Asia.
Chile and Mexico have qualified in their own right. But if you take the Mexico example, the best side not to qualify from CONCAAF at the moment is Honduras. We’d be a shot against them.
BTW, I think the results against Wales, Jordan and Italy have more to do with the hype that the previous qualification matches.

Can’t see double figures occurring again at a World Cup Finals. Mainly because the European professional leagues are now so multi-national that all countries have a lot of players based there. For a start that changes fitness levels.For example, Cyprus did OK this morning

It's because Bahrain have had the harder / longer route this far that they are now the better prepared side.

Wouldn't most people who think HD is vital for watching sport be SKY subscribers anyway?

"Everyone will have the final that's the idea; the final, the semis and the third and fourth play-off would be on all three networks."
Is it just me, or is that completely moronic?
In that scenario the completely moronic ones would be those who watch the TV1 coverage...

Theme of the talkback was along the lines of “well we know that Triads are into kidnapping to order”
I changed channel before it reached its logical conclusion.
