I didn't see that match. :( I only saw 2 great matches:

Japan vs. North Korea 2-1
What a goal by North Korea despite the loss. An entertaining football by both teams in 1st half. Japan were lucky to win the match.

South Korea vs. Kuwait 2-0
This match is undercontrolled 90 minutes by South Korea. 3-4-3 formation possession football by South Korea was fully fun to watch too. They were outshoot 15-1 ! :o The 1st wonderful volley goal was absoulutely superb !

Starting XI
All i can say is Ireland better qualify. When Israel and Switzerland are your closest competitors, a team with Ireland's aspirations has got to get it done. Maybe the return of Keane will spur them on. And some kind of shakeup must be headed for France. Theyve looked pretty awful in qualifying and this is just the latest straw, although Israel robbed Ireland too. Wonder if Spain can turn it on. If they missed out, that would be a shock

Starting XI
well unfortunately for me one of my teams is out of the race for a spot in the WC. macedonia who played a great game against romania were upstaged by a young nicolae mitea!! all three goals were brilliant, but in macedonias first game with a new coach it was the romanians who prevailed!! macedonia were dealt a blow when lazio striker goran pandev was injured just before the game!! santrac, macedonias coach, was playing with a new side that was missing its european players like sakiri (west brom), pandev (lazio) and a host of other players which play in the greek, russian and czech leagues!!!

now all i have is australia, oh god let the green and gold progress!!!!

DISGRACE!

Spain 1-1 Bosnia :(

Bosnia were up by 1-0 until the 7th (:|!) minute of extra time when Spain equalised....Bosnia finished the match with 9 men on the pitch.
