... how Switzerland are seeded, they are shite, but apparently better than Italy, Holland, England (possible), France (maybe) and Portugal. At best, they're on a par with Russia, Croatia and Greece. They might just pip Bosnia.

Nothing to do with that lying, corrupt cunt Blatter being Swiss obviously

Is it based on current FIFA world rankings?

You would think it would have something to do with it, but Portugal and Italy are ranked above the Swiss, yet they're not seeded.

As I said, it must just be coincidental that Sepp hails from there.

With Switzerland being ranked 8th in the world at the moment, I reckon so.

Turns out Switzerland were ranked #7 when the rankings were considered.

Maybe it was based on posession% rankings

how are the Swiss at holding onto the ball?

Plenty of holes in the Swiss midfield.

Naaaa, they're better than Croatia atm - I'll give them that...maybe they got bonus points for knocking off Brazil in a friendly?

It's all rigged anyway...just look at France's group and tell me Platini had nothing to do with it.
