A lot of conflicting reports about seeding. Will have a big bearing on it. Will Be sickened if we end with Portugal.
We can't get Portugal as we'll be seeded Gary. Its one of the following: Czech Rep Estonia Montenegro Bosnia or Turkey
Seeded teams are Ireland Bosnia-Herzagovina Portugal Croatia Unseeded teams are: Estonia Turkey Montenegro Czech Republic We'd beat any of those.
All games finished, should work out like this: Seeded Portugal Croatia Ireland Czech Rep Unseeded Turkey Bosnia Estonia Montenegro
Lads world soccer editor on twitter is saying Uefa are using their coefficient rankings and we are not seeded an neither are Bosnia. “@WorldSoccerEd: Play-off draw: Croatia (UEFA rank 6), Portugal (8), Czech Rep (14), Turkey (17) will be seeded” “@WorldSoccerEd: Unseeded teams in play-offs: Rep Ireland 19, Bosnia 20, Montenegro 30, Estonia 38”
Those coefficent rankings only take in games up to 7th of September. Results from last Friday and tonight will push us into the seeded positions. Trust me
The seeds are Portugal, Croatia, ROI & Czech Rep. Unseeded are Bosnia & Herz, Estonia, Montenegro & Turkey. Draw Thursday at 12pm off the ball just posted
Yep - we're actually 3rd seeds overall. Czech Rep and Turkey slug it out for final seeded spot but I reckon its Czech Rep who have it based on them outscoring Turkey tonight.
Is this 100%? Dumphy said after the game that uefa are having a draw to see which teams play at home 1st and 2nd?
Dunphy was talking out of his hole - said he read it in some paper. It amazes me how people can be left on the tv to give their "expert" analysis to the nation and not one single bit of research is done to back up their claims. He also said we could get Belgium even though they had been eliminated 45 minutes previous to that statement. Finished it off by saying we wouldn't be seeded. In fairness to RTE, Bill Herlihy confirmed towards the end of the show that the seeded teams will play the 2nd leg at home.
