Think France should just edge it. Greece v Romania could go either way. Expect Croatia to beat Iceland Portugal tie is very difficult, especially them being away 2nd leg. In real danger of going out. Ronaldo v Zlatan, battle of the one man teams.
I wouldnt rule out Iceland. Scotland done the double over Croatia.
Watched both of those games and Croatia really didnt look great. They underestimated Scotland in Zagreb and I wouldn't rule out them making the same mistake against Iceland.
As long as Portugal doesn't make it, I'm happy. Cheating bunch of #$%@'s. I hate them with a passion. Would be nice to see someone new as well (Iceland).
An interesting non UEFA playoff game is Mexico vs New Zealand. Doubt the All Whites can do it again. They would have had a chance against Panama, I reckon, but not Mexico.

Mexico are on their 5th coach in two months or something daft like that and only qualified because the USA scored two injury time goals against Panama the other week so you never know...
Forgot to add that the team I play for in Copenhagen is made up of 80% Islanders so I really hope they get through to the Finals. They've done bloody well already when you consider the entire population of the country is around 400,000 which is less than Leeds!
Seen quite a few of the Mexico games living here in the States and they really aren't very good. (I have no idea what NZ are like though).
For a tournament perspective it would be great for Brazil 2014 if Mexico qualify.
New Zealand are worse I can tell you. That said they wont just allow themselves to be rolled over by the Mexicans (us kiwis are a proud race!). The home game in front of 40,000 noisy fans at Wellington's intimidating Westpac stadium "the cake tin" won't be particularly nice for them and if the "All Whites" can make their physical advantage count who knows what might happen?

But wouldnt every small nation love to see a cheap frozen food store get to Brazil and then be in England's group ;-)))

France
Greece

To go through
