"Chechoslovakia will never enter another WC as that nation was peacefully divorced into Slovakia (NOT Slovenia) and the Czech Republic. Same with E. Germany, which was integrated with W. Germany and became a single nation."

they may never re-enter as the czech republic either. Strong fifa ranking does nothing to change their qualifying play for the wc. they would pull of gigantic wins, only to then lose to malta or iceland or something. i was very happy with the european cup final (even if they lost by golden goal... they were rather fortunate to get to the final), but they just seem to have stupid down games for qualifying for wc's.

by the way, all czechs are like me and see luck as a two way street. we know when we have it and know when we do not. both will happen in bunches tho

as for holland... i think i mentioned it a few weeks ago as the biggest wc choker team. They never seem to play to their potential. If they just sent ajax, i would be happy.
