I do want USA in the finals. It's vital for the continuing growth of the game over there.

Yeah, I actually root for the US national team in tournaments (when they don't beat us 1-1) ever since USA '94.

It's increasingly likely now that Argentina will not qualify. They have to go up to lofty Ecuador, where they have a poor record in Quito, and win, whilst hoping that other results go their way.

To note, Argentina have qualified for 11 consecutive World Cups, the fourth longest streak behind Brazil (21), Germany (17), and Italy (14 - 15 if they qualify this time). It would be quite extraordinary if Argentina fail to qualify in such a dismal fashion.

They only have to win to be guaranteed a playoff position, so it's still in their hands.  Very likely they'll miss out though with the Ecuador record being so poor but hopefully they turn up.

Is Ecuador the team that plays up in the Gods? Playing at altitude the cheating bastards.

But still, if it means Argentina don't qualify its all worth it. HOWS THAT FOR THE HAND OF GOD, EH?! *makes wanker sign*

I still think Argentina will do it. They can make top 5 with a draw if there is a decisive winner in the Peru/Colombia game. I think it'd be a shame if they didn't qualify to be honest considering the players we'd miss out on seeing, but I do hope Peru make it as they're one of the three teams in CONMEBOL who pretty much never even come close to making it.

The Dutch will go out without even getting to the Play Offs, and perhaps controversially, I think the Wales/Ireland game may prove pointless as their group loses out in the 2nd Place Table for the UEFA Play-Off spots.
