Official 2010 World Cup Qualifying Thread

It's just the big build up to the inevitable failure that gets blamed on Capello for not picking a certain player.

Still it's better than having an alcoholic in charge.

Who was this?

[Matt]

I'm guessing pretty much any Scottish manager. /cheap shot

"North Korea qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1966 following a goalless draw in Saudi Arabia watched by 66,000 fans."

Holy shit, awesome

[therockbox]

FIFA need to fix it so South and North Korea get put in the same group.

[Sam]

They already played each other like a million times in fact they were in the same group in qualifying. Let's hope they play Italy and beat them again!

[stokeriño]

North Korea vs. USA. Book it.

[Matt]

Any chance of Iran and/or Iraq being in this? North Korea, Iraq, Iran and the US = Best group ever.

[Adam]

Nope, the pair of them are out. Saudi Arabia take on Bahrain in the play-offs with the winner of that facing New Zealand for a place in the finals.

We're gonna have to resurrect that 'guess who will qualify' thing soon.

[IAceI]

Well I'm guessing Saudi Arabia out of them 3. >_<

[Slogger]

Is there any chance at all of New Zealand beating Bahrain or the Saudi's?

[Matt]

New Zealand couldn't beat Castleford Girls.

Now lets not be crazy, I'm sure New Zealand can beat an international team.

What are San Marino up to lately?

Possibly Bahrain, and only if they could jag a draw away. No chance against Saudi Arabia.

Alas, South Korea eliminated Iran and Australia eliminated Iraq in the round of qualifying before the most recent one.

Even San Marino can beat New Zealand

[Adam]

No, I don't think San Marino really could even beat Castleford Girls. New Zealand are the second best team on their continent, and have had to beat mighty sides like Fiji and American Samoa to get this far.

In all seriousness, I think San Marino WOULD lose to Fiji, American Samoa and Tonga.

[Chris the Human]

Technically, they're the best. We don't share a continent with that filth anymore when it comes to footballing. It was a near thing, though. New Caledonia really gave them a run for their money, and they had to cheat to beat Fiji.

[IAceI]

San Marino don't need football. They have Alex De Angelis in the Moto GP, so fuck football.

[The Kraig]

Scotland get raped in Norway 4-0, and still have a chance of qualifying via play-offs. At least one thing is different.

[METALMAN]

Gary Caldwell. What a cunt.

Puts David Fernandez out for a year. What a cunt.

Gets sent off against Norway. What a double cunt.
