Results and fixtures

The match schedule was established at a meeting in Israel, on 8 January 2008. [ [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/927859.html Yossi Benayoun: 'We should qualify'] ] However, Greece and Latvia failed to come to an agreement on matches between themselves, and, since the match schedule was not finalised by 16 January 2008 deadline, FIFA conducted a random draw to determine the fixtures. [ [http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1198517339277&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull FIFA 2010: Discussions on fixture list falter] ] [ [http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldFootballNews/idUKSP15063620080117 FIFA draw to decide order of World Cup qualifiers] ] The draw took place in Zagreb, Croatia at 16:00 CET on 30 January 2008, the eve of the XXXII Ordinary UEFA Congress.
