Zlatan vs Ronaldo

Looks like we'll only get either Zlatan or Ronaldo in Brazil next summer:

Portugal - Sweden
Ukraine - France
Greece - Romania
Iceland - Croatia

Go Iceland!

Sweden will probably get left out. Doesn't seem right that some regions are harder to qualify from than others. France is relieved..they were worried about drawing Portugal.

The stronger regions get more slots, but really good teams and players will still get left out.

Portugal
France
Greece

Also Uruguay over Jordan.

Still can't choose between Mexico and NZ.

Even though I'm hoping for the exact opposite...

Mexico - NZ is a tossup.

It would be nice to see them in if for the sake of Gudjohnsen alone. The man has been a superb player for 20 years and a joy to watch around the goal.
