i really think they should give it to o'neil but let him finish the season with villa, think he would take it if they offered that.

Originally posted by PalynkaWhen I read yopur post, I was convinced that you were wrong and when I went to check I was amazed to find that you are indeed right, only one team qualifies! The eight best runners-up of the 9 groups enter a two-leg play-off to decide the remaining four qualifying teams.
I think we'll have to change our attitude and take this group much more seriously than we did the one for the Euro. Sweden's a tough cookie and only one of the teams is insured to go through...
This puts a completely different look on the groups to what I first thought (i.e. that the top 2 teams qualified)
