yeh probably Poland, not CHina coz they never really had a challenge in Asia(Japan and Korea already qualified for the WC).
The big surprise though was Holland........whatever happened to them

Holland not making it was a shock ... this doesn't mean that Portugal and Ireland don't deserve it's just that the oranges were favorite .. and there was 2seats for 3 passengers.

Great for rep.Ireland

otherwise I would say China
shame Jamaica didn't make it though

SENEGAL!!! CHINA!!! POLAND!!! RUSSIA!!! And Costa Rica. Ecuador is about to qualify, too.

I will cheer for Russia and Senegal. Hopefully they won't be in the same group, and hopefully Kebe, a Senegalian from Spartak Moscow, will play on the WC.

If Ecuador qualifies, I'll be cheering for them, too. On Euro '00 I cheered for Slovenia.. And they played VERY well..

Senegal! I had no idea they would qualify. I (along, most likely, with several other people) had picked Morocco to win the group, then, if not them, Egypt. Good job Senegal!

Yeah, I think Senegal may cause a lot of problems for other teams at the World Cup...They have a great striker called Fary who plays for Beira Mar in Portugal. He's currently the top scorer in the Portuguese first division and has more goals then even Jardel!

The U.S. making it surprised me... I thought they were going to blow it. England too until that 5-1 thrashing of Germany... it will be interesting to see if Germany makes it past Ukraine...like Holland this could be another surprise/upset in the making...

China had the weakest competeion (the second strongest team in her group was UAE).
While Iran and KSA are throat to throat in their group.
