World Cup 2014 Qualifiers

The Daily Mail reports that French television viewers may get a bit more than they bargained for after Dora Tillier vowed to present the weather forecast naked if France qualified for the World Cup.

With France 2-0 down after the first leg of their play-off against Ukraine, Tillier promised to take her clothes off if Les Bleus recovered to qualify for next year's Finals in Brazil.

And ratings are expected to go through the roof on Canal+ as people tune in to see if Tillier fulfill her promise after Didier Deschamps' side beat Ukraine 3-0 at Stade de France.

Looks too much like my old boss so I can't watch her do it.

Oh, mon Depardieu!

Yum yum yum

They left Kris Boyd out. :/

But aside from that I'd fancy them as contenders.

Not what I had in mind.

[Lineker]

Not what anyone did clearly. Still, fair play to her for actually doing it in some form. She has balls.

[Colly]

No she hasn't.

Is the draw on the BBC? I'm trying and failing to find out, I love a good cup draw.

[Matt]

The world cup draw is today?

[EddieG]

December 6 I believe

[Colly]

Yep. I'm away hence my lack of Sky Sports and desire for a terrestrial viewing!

[Matt]

I misread your original post. Erm I don't think they're usually on bbc tv but I imagine 5 live will have it if radio commentary would suffice

[Lineker]

It might be on terrestrial actually. In fact I'd be surprised if the news channel didn't have it live.

[Baddar]

Pretty sure they had the 2010 one. (BBC News)

[METALMAN]

I am also highly concerned that I might miss little plastics balls being pulled out of a big ball.

[Colly]

It's sad, but I genuinely love them.

[METALMAN]

I wouldn't mind them if they cut out the talking and all the other nonsense. It just takes so long. I like doing them on FM because you can control the pace.

The Burkina Faso Football Federation (FBF) has complained to Fifa over claims that Algeria used an ineligible player in the second leg of the World Cup play-off tie.

The FBF says Algerian defender Madjid Bougherra should have been suspended for two yellow cards in earlier games.

Bougherra scored the only goal in Algeria's 1-0 win that saw them qualify for Brazil on the away goals rule.

The federation has also complained about Senegalese referee Badara Diatta.

According to FBF president Sita Sangare, Bougherra picked up a yellow card during the group stage of qualifying against Mali and also went into the book during Burkina Faso's 3-2 win in the first leg of their play-off, which should have ruled him out of the second leg.

Sangare also argues that Diatta failed to play out the full four minutes of injury time, depriving them of the chance to score a late equaliser which could have qualified them for their first ever World Cup.

The African qualifying campaign has been overshadowed by several matches that were overturned by Fifa for nations using players who should have been suspended.

Cape Verde were denied a place in the final round of play-offs when football's world governing body Fifa ruled they had used an ineligible player in their final group win over Tunisia.

Bougherra is a dirty bastard.
