Answer this for me nah,allyuh think if T&T were trying to qualify in ah group with slovenia,crotia,russia,and ukraine,we would make it............
listen you doh think for one minute that I knew this could never be realistically possible,it is essentially a hypothetical question. but at the same time it was based on judging from there performances in international friendlies and also what they've done so far as a team.
Anybody who knows anything about the sport could tell that none of the teams from the American region, USA, Costa Rica or T&T would qualify if they had to play in European groups.Still it´s no fun if contries from all over the world would not be in the WC. I do however suspect that USA have bribed FIFA to make it easier for them to qualifiy.

I do however suspect that USA have bribed FIFA to make it easier for them to qualifiy.U really feel that those 3 teams u cal there can't qualify from a european group? Mexico, USA and Costa Rica will be in the top 3 in any european qualification group. Look at their scalps at their past Woirld Cup appearances and stop belittling Concacaf. Doh get tie up with that European propaganda.
OK, first of all the FIFA rankings is as useful as my grandmothers points of view regarding the World Cup. It´s partly based on games played against teams that would not pass as Division3 teams in most European countries. If you play Panama and Guatemala enough times you have your points. USA top ten in the World? That´s a laugh!I agree Mexico has potential to win on a good day against a European team. Costa Rica? Come on, but still the World Cup would not be that fun if it did not have some suprises:) Brasil, Argentina and Mexico are the non-european teams to watch. Except T&T that is!USA beat Sweden? Then I eat my cat and emigrate to the states!Perhaps it´s me being a bit pro Euro but I belive 6 or 7 teams in the quarter finals will be European. Especially since the tourmanent is being held in Europe.
I don´t think that any games will be easily won in this World Cup. Regarding Costa Rica I agree being Swede and talking about them is a bit confusing. I remember the summer ´90 when everybody where ecstatic of joy singing about the easiest game in WC history. Look how that turned out(:Costa Rica has a lot of talent and will no doubt make a mess in any teams defence. But as with some other countries outside europe they have an achilles heal. Their defence, they are fast but to short. Teams like England and Germany for example will use freekicks and corners in class fashion when getting the chance. Looking at their lineup in general there are many good players, but i can´t see any stars that every team needs if they are to progress in the WC.
Sorry I´m stuck in the PES4 version Or I would give u a lession in Sweet Swedish technique!
