Yep, they may get a hand somewhere along the line.
Exactly. Fifa will find a way to ensure France go through.

I wouldn't be rushing down the bookies to put any money on France turning this around, especially as Koscielny was sent off tonight and therefore misses the 2nd leg. Ukraine will go to Paris and try and park the bus. France have some talented individuals, but collectively they are nowhere near as good as they think they are. Added to which, since Zidane, Desailly and Vieira called it a day, they have a tendency to bottle it when the pressure is really on and the moment results turn bad, the egos come out and the players turn on each other.
He may have been sent off tonight, but Laurent Koscielny has otherwise been excellent for Arsenal this season. He seems to be one of those players who has a nightmare once every 10-12 matches, but plays to an extremely high standard at all other times. His performances in the second half of last season played a big part in Arsenal getting 4th place ahead of Tottenham. Seems as though his pig of a match came tonight though given that he got sent off and conceded a penalty that resulted in Ukraine's 2nd goal.
Worse even still, Sweden lost..... Means a good chance of no hot Swedish chics at the World Cup

Even worse, means that complete and utter CJTC Ronaldo might get there.
Yes because you don't want the World Cup to have the best players in the world playing in it, do you?
Not when they are preening self-obsessed pretty-boy tossers who delight in helping getting England players (and club team mates at the time) sent off, no. No I don't.
Besides which, if Ronaldo isn't there, it means Ibrahimović will be.

Dear me, that was 7 years ago. Besides which, Wayne Rooney was entirely to blame for that red card because he kicked Carvalho in the crown jewels. Ronaldo's uncalled for intervention made no difference whatsoever to Rooney getting sent off.
But would you not rather see ibrahimovic at the world cup?
