Is this a fact? I trust that it is. That's why I was glad that we didn't schedule any meaningless friendly and ruin our ranking. When it comes to qualifying groups I always prefer the easiest possible group. However when at the actual tournament I don't have a preference - except maybe when at the World Cup - it's always nice to avoid groups with two European teams. morale +2
We've had 2 dull groups in a row now. I'm not saying I want Spain or Germany. But a England/Italy/Netherlands from the first pot would be good and then 4 sh*tty teams we should beat. We will never develop a winning mentality if we can't get that veliki skalp. That's how Croatia became a respected team around the world.
Teams that I hope we are not grouped with: 1 Netherlands/ Germany/ Portugal/ Spain 3 Albania/ Sweden/ Hungary/ Ukraine 4 Bulgaria/ Ireland/ Montenegro/ Turkey 5 Finland/ FYROM/ Belarus/ Cyprus 6 Georgia/ Kazakhstan/ Moldova/ Luxembourg
Netherlands is going through a rebuilding phase with a lot of past contributors aging and being phased out after Euros so I wouldn't mind facing them. Germany and Spain I would like to avoid. I think Ukraine is one team we don't match up well against and would also like to avoid. I think Ireland is one opponent I would like to avoid in this group as well. In the last two groups I don't have a preference as we should be beating all the teams listed if we truly are to be considered a "serious" team.
http://www.football-rankings.info/2...howComment=1434489662247#c4441099018721225147 The referee in Poland vs. Greece (0-0) was injured and had been substituted by 4th official Marcin Borski FROM POLAND!!! Could it be the reason of not taking this match into account? SMH ... Poland could end up in pot 2 and BiH in pot 3 ... hard to tell if this match will be included on FIFA's list of matches for the FIFA Ranking
Can't say that it will be the case ... have to wait on FIFA to make a decision. Italy did shoot themselves in the foot ... they would have been in pot 1 instead of Croatia, had they not played the friendly against Portugal or had they won the tie.
Yeah, its just amazing how our sports teams suffer horrible luck sometimes. Too many examples to list.

Mesa says he'd like an attractive opponent in the group like England, Germany or Holland. http://reprezentacija.ba/27723-mehm...raktivne-protivnike-poput-njemacke-i-engleske
Give us ENGLAND so we can unleash Besic @ Sterling and show them just how overrated he is. It would be a great game to see though. English fans to get a taste of BHF
I've been in London and watched football there. I can teach you newbies how the tube system works if some of you are going. It is f*cking expensive though. Amsterdam would be fun because it is the perfect city to go absolutely mental. I would also love to travel to Lisbon(never been there), but sadly many Bosnians dont agree with me.
