and how is Ireland doing if Ireland is in it?
Answer
The FIFA Confederations Cup is an association football tournament for national teams, currently held every four years. The competition is organised by FIFA. It is contested by the winners of each of the six FIFA confederation championships (CAF, CONMEBOL, UEFA, AFC, OFC, CONCACAF), along with the FIFA World Cup winner and the host country, to bring the number of teams up to eight.
The tournament was originally organised by and held in Saudi Arabia and called the King Fahd Cup (or Intercontinental Championship), contested in 1992 and 1995 by the Saudi national side and some continental champions. In 1997, FIFA took over the organization of the tournament, named it the FIFA Confederations Cup and staged the competition every two years.
Since 2005, it is held every four years, in the year prior to each World Cup in the host country of the forthcoming World Cup. Considered a dress-rehearsal for the World Cup it precedes, it uses around half of the stadia intended for use at the following year's World Cup and gives the host nation, who qualifies for that tournament automatically, a vital taste of competitive football during two years of friendlies. At the same time, participation was made optional for the South American and European champions.
When the World champion is also winner of its confederation championship, then the World Cup runner-up also enters the Confederations Cup, ensuring eight teams for the tournament. In the 2005 tournament, however, Brazil, as World champion, and World Cup runner-up Germany, as host, had qualified. When Brazil also won the Copa América, the vacant eighth spot was awarded to Argentina, runner-up in the Copa América.
The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, because of World War II.
The current format of the tournament involves 32 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month â this phase is often called the World Cup Finals. A qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, is used to determine which teams qualify for the tournament together with the host nation(s). The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 final.

Will Scotland qualify for the 2010 World Cup?

Just watched the game. Second half was enjoyable. I've been trying to work out how scotland can finish as one of the top placed runners-up. Assuming we beat Holland (:p) on Wednesday, which teams from other groups are we hoping slip up? Am i right in saying the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland? Remember points won against the lowest seed in the group are subtracted from any teams final points tally.
Answer
even if Scotland dont beat holland on wednesday but still finish second, they may still qualify for the play offs. the other 8 groups second place finishers will end up having points & goals awarded against the bottom finishers deducted from their total. Unfortunately, some of them have 2 or 3 games to play yet. An example is Hungary.
They have beaten malta twice(malta are bottom), so if hungary finish 2nd, they will lose 6 points and the goals, Hungary are currently on 13 points, so you could say that in theory they only actually have 7 points. This is just an example. Sky sports shown a table on their program this morning showing Scotland in 6th place out of nine to qualify for the play offs, it would be a major boost if they beat Holland though, I'm actually English, but i wish you the best of luck.
