Was wondering if anyone can answer when the World Cup qualifiers are all set in stone? On the odds in Vegas for instance Mexico is -50,000-1, a slam dunk to be in. When is this finalized? Or is it done based on the games played and the rest of the qualifiers? I know Mexico and the US will get in. And Russia is in automatically because they are the host nation is that correct? Even though they may not have won enough games to qualify if not for being the host nation? One year from this June is what I am thinking. I hope England figures it all out by then. Based on recent play the USA might be as formidable as the English team? Argentina do not look like themselves and Bolivia to me are a surprise the way they are playing. I thought Columbia would be better also. But its early. If we are to see the games live I am thinking some real early morning times here in the eastern United States. Well not as bad as I thought. Moscow is 7 hours ahead of NY. I thought London was about 5? Have to look it up. So LA and Moscow is 10. If a game is played at 3 pm in the afternoon, we will be watching at 8 am in NY> Night games would be perfect. Early games, lets say noon, then we are talking 5 am in NY and 2 am in LA. that sucks if you live in the West coast. Well it will be interesting to see which small nations qualify. I wonder if Ireland will get in? Scotland, I doubt.
