WC 2010: Which teams will qualify?

Reserve Team
Now I'd like everyone to see my comments about the Bosnia-Herzegovina - Portugal game, if you will. I just have to say firstly, ****ING REFEREES! HOW ON EARTH CAN FIFA LET THE STUPID IDOTS DO SUCH THINGS? GIVE ADVANTAGE BY GIVING THEM FREE KICKS THAT WEREN'T EVEN FOULS TO PORTUGAL ONLY BECAUSE THEY'RE FAVORITES AND A RICHER, BIGGER NATION, THE BOSNIAN TEAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN TREATED LIKE THIS BY THE STUPID FIFA REFEREES! Secondly, I believe the reason why Bosnia lost this game is because of a bad coach desicion, bad organization and bad will from the players. Why do I think that the coach did badly? Because he focused too much on the offensive, despite the fact that he knows that our defensive line are amateurs. I also believe that we had immensive bad luck on both games, especially the first one where we should've ended the game with at least 1-1. I'm so pissed off at FIFA's referees and the Italians right now... Congratulations, Portugal, for your qualification! I can't say personally that you won it fair and square, because I know that that is not the case. Congratulations to the other teams as well, especially Slovenia 
Congratulations again, Portugal! May you do well at the World Cup.

Im crushed... to find out the draw would be seeded. then to put in a performance like that and deserved to go to South Africe ahead of France and to be denied that by such a goal....words cant describe.
I was totally against the extra officals at the goals but if there was one there tonight that goal would not have stood
Well done France

I disagree but thanks anyway.
Even though France were denied a clear penalty (in my opinion) on Anelka, I have to say that what happened short after was disgraceful. Totally lost my respect for Henry, ridiculous stuff.
If I was one of Ireland's players I would've injured the referee, multiple times. Refereeing needs to be treated as a profession. For example, the guy who officiated today is a firefighter, which means refereeing a football game is his hobby. But playing football for all of the rest involved is not a hobby, it's their work. Then there's a guy "having fun" and ******* you up with his mistakes, and you get robbed of a World Cup place. Ridiculous.

First the play offs were introduced to give teams like France another chance, then we watch a disgraceful piece of cheating that every person watching the match saw. Everyone but the referee and the 2 linesmen.
With Platini in the stands supporting HIS national team, did anyone really believe that the Republic stood a chance tonight.
The play offs were introduced not only to give teams like France a second chance, but to make sure that teams like France go to the WC 2010.
Surely the FIA will demand an explanation from Platini. I think they deserve one.
At the end of the day it's all about Blatter and Platini getting what they want. What we might want does not interest them one bit.
Henry is scum. Only someone with very low morals could do something like that. We saw it enough times when he was at Arsenal, and the prick still cheats.

Haha...FIFA is doing their best to cover their a**es

France secured their FIFA World Cup™ spot in dramatic fashion with a dramatic 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland at the Stade de France.
Giovanni Trapattoni's visitors, beaten 1-0 in Dublin last Saturday in the first leg of their play-off, had taken a shock lead in the 32nd minute through Robbie Keane and the Irish were unlucky not to score more before forcing the match to extra time. In the first additional 15-minute spell, France had an appeal for a penalty correctly turned down after striker Nicolas Anelka tumbled to the turf under pressure in the eighth minute.
Five minutes later, France skipper Thierry Henry won the match for the hosts when his angled pass amid a goalmouth scramble was met by the head of Wiliam Gallas. The goal enabled France to qualify and avoid a repeat of their humiliating failure, at the hands of Bulgaria, to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup finals.
The Republic, especially captain Robbie Keane, had the lion's share of the chances in regulation time, and they will be kicking themselves having last qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where they got to the second round.
What a joke! I think the Irish have more to blame than 'themselves' as FIFA would like everyone to believe. An absolute scam. Once again, I feel gutted for the Irish and Trap.

YELLOW CARD: Untrustworthy
I was going to say something about how video replay would have helped in this game, then realize were Platini is from..
