WC 2010: Which teams will qualify?

Xifio

The Von Trapps
^ congrats on qualifying ... didn't think Tunisia would fail, but they have done ... minute 83 is the divine number as far as Nigerians are concerned, I guess ... Martins in the 83rd for 3-2 Nigeria, and Dario in the 83rd for 1-0 Mozambique ...

4 out of the 5 African qualifiers are from West Africa ... Group C did not contain any West African teams, so it could not have been more than 4 ... just shows where the power of football in Africa continues to lie ...

I'm just happy that Eto'o will finally grace the big international stage again ...
 
I'm just happy that the 2010 WC has been saved...African WC w/o the Eagles=farce...

minute 83 = Nairobi miracle

EDIT: Actually Xifio Cameroon is not really West African (they are Central), Nigeria is the easternmost W. African country.

Portugal-Bosnia was a treat to watch, shame about Bosnia hitting the bar twice in the dying moments, would rather have them through than Portugal :(

Egypt - Algeria will go to a third match play-off in Sudan on Wednesday (evening)/Thursday (morning).

I'm surprised they didn't just choose away goals as the defining factor. That way Egypt would have gone through, at least without the teams having to play a third match.

In this WC, it seems that group which includes Netherlands will be the group of dead again like 2006 if both Portugal and France don't get eliminated.

Saw the playoff Portugal-Bosnia. Bosnia was **** unlucky. They deserved to qualify.

edit : I've thought Egypt will qualify because of away goal and they received less yellow cards.

Starting XI
Russia-Slovenia-2-1
Ireland-France-0-1
Greece-Ukraine-0-0
Portugal-Bosnia-1-0

Slovenia,France,Greece,Bosnia will qualify to World Cup

Unfortunately Slovenia and Greece will qualify even thou they don't play anything.In their game against Russia the posesion of ball was something like this:Russsia 65%-Slovenia35%,they had a single shot and they scored a goal in 87 min.WTF is this? But that's futbol, the teams who are playing very ugly qualify all the time.Bosnia worth to qualify because they've played very well against Portugal.France will also be in the last 32 cause they have too much power to be eliminated by Ireland.

meh.. we played bad on the defence. We had numerous chances to score, but Bosnia ones were more unlucky, thats for sure. But saying because of that Bosnia deserves to go to WC2010... it's just insane. They only do that. If in the attacks that we made we hit the post 3 times you guys say that we deserve to pass? Liedson failed a goal with only the keeper in front, if he had hit the post we deserve to qualify?

Thank you Bruno Alves! Great header, after a great cross from Nani.
I'm sick to read in every Site the same...Portugal had luck?!?
Why everybody says this?

The fact is: WE SCORED A GOAL, Bosnia had in the end the big chance to equalize, but they didn't! And why? Because we were lucky, or Muslimovic was a moron and did not hit the Net??? He had all the Time to stop the Ball and score...but he didn't!

Now to read, that they deserve to qualify it's so stupid!!!

Here the stats of the game:
Portugal-------------Bosnia
17----Shots---------- 13
10----Shots on Target 3
21----Crosses-------- 20
4-----Corners-------- 5
2-----Offsides------- 0
14----Fouls---------- 20
21----throw-ins----- 30

I Believe in our Team, we will qualify!!!
PORTUGAL SEMPRE!

Starting XI
I don't want you to get me wrong...I love Portugal NT, but last night should have been at least a draw.I've heard that Queiroz admited that Portugal made a weak match and i hope that in the return Portugal will show us another face.I don't want to watch a World cup tournament without Portugal.The only sad thing it's that these two teams(Por,Bos)met now.
It was nice if Bosnia played against Greece, a team who is killing football game.Cheers

geopolitically speaking, you're absolutely right ... pardon the colloquial slur; I was speaking from a Zambian perspective, where we categorize Cameroon as West African ... the reasoning is simple: Cameroon are roughly in the same latitudinal belt containing Nigeria, Togo, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire, who we refer to, especially in footballing conversation, as the West African teams ...

We held off against Portugal pretty ok but the defence at first were shaky, but at home, I think our players will win such confidence from the fan supporters that we just might be able to struggle and fight for those two goals and to hold off the Portugese attacks, anything is possible, but I have to say, Portugal was actully lucky, we deserve to get a draw from that game atleast, possibly a win as well but we hope the best in Zenica, there is always hope
 

silvone

Starting XI
Slovenia-Russia-1-3(i hope)
Bosnia-Portugal-2-1(Portugal will qualify)
Ukraine-Greece-1-1(unfortunately)
France-Ireland-1-0

So, from Europe will qualify Russia,Portugal,France and Greece(even thou i prefer Ukraine :innocent_smile_1:)

I came to the conclusion that our coach doesn't like football

Lloris was big for us

Gallas and Abidal was ok, Abidal made a stupid mistake that almost cost us the game, besides that he was perfect, but we need a solid central pair

Sagna and Evra were good, I thought it was weird seeing both wing backs come up, specially since Domenech is a defensive coach.

True to form I noticed the weirdes thing I've seen Dumbenech pull off, Diarra was the holding mid of the OTHER holding mid, every time Lass made a mistake he had Diarra to watch his back, Lass could be sooo good.

Gourcuff I'm not sure he's ready for the responsibility Dumbenech is giving him.

Henry should play as an attacker, same thing with Anelka, Anelka was good but he doesn't like falling back to play like a proper winger, I would play Ribery (injured) on the left wth the fredom to cut inside, Govou onthe right with Benzema and Henry up front (Gourcuff to the bench).

Benzema should've played, Gignac was out of touch, he got some good service from Gourcuff but couldn't finish.

20 people from Algeria died while in Egypt to watch the crucial game to qualify top of the group. Very crazy fans. There will be a 'war' at Sudan for the tie-break game.

Congrats to Algeria, man that was an intense match. Great to see the Algerian fans hanging from all sides of the stadium in Khartoum.

This WC is gonna be intense. South America(obviously with Brazil and Argentina..and if Uruguay go through) and Africa are all sending quality teams. Plus the staples of Europe(seems like Greece is going), Concacaf, and Asia.

Only real minnows are NZ, SA, and maybe N. Korea(no disrespect to their fans)

Looking forward to the summer of 2010.
