    World Cup Soccer Field Almost Set

    LONDON - France, Serbia-Montenegro and Sweden joined the field Wednesday, meaning 27 of the 32 berths are decided for next year's monthlong tournament in Germany. France, the 1998 World Cup champion, defeated Cyprus 4-0 to win European Group 4, and Serbia-Montenegro defeated neighbor Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 to take first in Group 7.

    The Serbian guys were crying afterwards:

        Just hope the US gets a top 8 seed. Should definitely go in over Mexico, but there's no guarantee that CONCACAF will be regarded as deserving of such a seed.

        T&T can still make it in, although I've got to believe there are at least 10 more European teams more qualified to play in the WC than a 4th team from over here.
        From this day forward, I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.

        For more than 20 years I have endeavored-indeed, I have struggled-along with a majority of this Court, to develop procedural & substantive rules that would lend more than the mere appearance of fairness to the death penalty endeavor.

        I feel morally and intellectually obligated simply to concede that the death penalty experiment has failed.

        The path the Court has chosen lessens us all. I dissent.

              We'll draw a bum, a so-so team and a Euro-monster. We'll beat the bum, tie the so-so and lose to the monster. Then get nosed by the so-so on goal differential.

              Unless ESPN has any pull. Then we'll get England and two bums.

                  Ireland's World Cup dreams were shattered at Lansdowne Road after a goalless draw against Switzerland denied them a play-off place, and now there lies ahead an uncertain future.

                            Only when it comes to knockout stages and penalties. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] We're pretty good in the group stages against the inferior teams. Anyway the U.S. might get a good seeding because I believe they base it on previous World Cup performances.
