Fifa once again doing their best to make sure all the "big" teams make the World Cup. It's the same with UEFA and the Champions League.
Everything it so seeded now, the lesser teams don't have a chance. Every team should be put into these draws together, and whatever happens, happens.
I hope Republic of Ireland beat France, but i can't see it. Hope i'm wrong though!

if anything its saving the integrity of the world cup not disgracing it... France and Portugal are top ranked teams in the world, it would be shameful if neither of them didn't make it. Croatia is ranked what? 8th in the world and isn't going because they had a rough division in the draw? That is lame, if anything it should be COMPLETELY seeded like hockey internationals instead.
It still leaves underdog teams a chance to prove themselves where other teams have already done so in the years past and leading up to.
