Just in case you weren't aware...

1 Argentina
2 Belgium
3 Germany
4 Colombia
5 Brazil
6 Portugal
7 Romania
8 Chile
9 Wales
10 England

Beat Isreal and we could go 4th; funnier still, if other results go our way even 2nd

And your point is?

Exactly ? Wales will qualify, England plus Iceland among others have already. Netherlands can only qualify if they get to a play off. I don't pay attention to rankings it is what we all do next summer which will count. England of course, rarely do well and I am adamant I wont watch if we go to a penalty shoot out.

Bad news on the rugby SD. Firstly, after the weekend's results it now looks like this.

3. SA
4. England
5. Wales
6. Ireland

But I think of far more significance is the loss of Webb and Halfpenny from the Wales World Cup squad. My F in L has a ticket for the Eng/Wales game, doubt that's going to work out too well for him.

Heard the news on Webb and Halfpenny this morning, not good at all if you are Welsh. As for the football wouldn't it be slightly comical if Wales didn't qualify by losing their next games.........

Didn't know you were fluent in the old Cymraeg Corky.
yeah bit of a sh!tter about Halfpenny and Webb, timing huh!!
Bit of a sh!tter about England going above us in the rankings too.

Was in Cardiff yesterday for my mum's birthday, we went out for dinner in a hotel in the Bay. As it turned out it was the hotel the Welsh football team were staying at before the game with Israel. They were in and out of the restaurant all the time we were there, in their friggin' tracksuits though, I nearly had a word with Coleman.
I'll tell you one thing, Joe Ledley has a beard Pents would die for!
