European playoffs WC 2014 Qualification

[EKBATAN]

FIFA should have given Europe an extra spot, so Sweden could qualify.

honestly there shouldnt even be playoffs for europe.....they should let top 2 of each group make it or maybe eliminate 2 of them only. It doesnt make sense that crap teams make the WC and some other good teams dont.


as bad as it will be for us, but asia, africa and concacaf shouldnt have so many spots....they should battle it out with each other for those 5th spots

World Cup is nothing without me' - Ibrahimovic

Following Sweden's defeat to Portugal in a World Cup play-off the attacker made the incredible claim that Brazil 2014 will not be worth watching now that he is not involved

Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made a startling assertion that the 2014 World Cup will not be worth watching following his side's elimination from the play-offs because he will not be there.

Ibrahimovic could not prevent his side's hopes of making it to Brazil from being dashed despite scoring a double, as Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show with an outstanding hat-trick to win the match for Portugal in the second leg play-off 3-2 (4-2 on aggregate).

The 32-year-old, who admits it might be his last attempt to reach a World Cup, says the major tournament being held next June will not be worth following now that he will not be involved.

"It was probably the last attempt to reach the World Cup with the national team for me. One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch so it is not worth while to wait for the World Cup," he said to his app Zlatan unplugged.

"Congratulations to Portugal, but both teams deserved to get to the World Cup.

"The disappointment of course is great now that the World Cup in Brazil will remain a dream for the Swedish national team."

It's sad not to see Ibrahimovic in the WC though, today's match was all Ronaldo vs. Ibra

What an amazing display by Ronaldo in both legs, he single-handedly owned the entire Swedish side.

Honestly after these 2 matches it makes it too hard not to choose him as the winner of Ballon D'or (Golden ball)

He had his chance. He made the wrong decision.

damn it sucks for Ukraine, France's 2nd goal was offside


2 WC in a row France makes it like this...if it was Italy we would never hear the end of it lol

cant stand france they are the qatar of europe. their second goal was offside and every goal they scored was a blooper goal,ukrain had a red card and an own goal to add to their misery.

[babak_iran]

what a comeback by the French, they got their shit together,as they say, they are good every 8 years.

[oldcoach]

Well done France. None of the goals were off sides by the way.

I am disgusted France did it but just before the offside 2nd goal, Benzema score a valid goal that was called off because of a wrong offside. Ukraine is sooooooo sh1t

oh gotcha.....i didnt catch the game, just saw highlights


i also prefer a WC with better teams so France over Ukraine is much better....same with Portugal over Sweden

WHAT A GAME....Sweden made it interesting making a come back. for a sec it looked like sweden was gonna take it but their defense was horrible on those counters....all 3 goals were practically the same way. Ronaldo def. a better player than ibra and he deserved it more...as much as i hate the pretty boy.
