Wales got up against Azerbaijan away

Was interested to read that only 78 welsh fans did the trek but more interesting was the Welsh FA were giving away free tickets for the match.

Cymru a'm byth!

Would you want to go to Azerbaijan? ... it wouldn't even have Tahkent or Kunming's attractions

Europe's groups = top two getting through innit??
Top goes through and the best 8 out of nine runners up play off for 4 spots.
Been reading up on this to see how they determine the 8 best runners up since group 9 has only 5 teams while the rest have 6.

The runners up in groups 1 - 8 will have their results against the bottom team in the group discounted.Then the 9 runners up pts record will determine the best 8 to play off.

Andorra are 80/1 to beat England tonight on SkyBet.co.uk.....

I know it will never happen, but still, you gotta wonder.

Italy 4, New Zealand 3.

Something wrong with that headline..... New Zealand held the lead three times as well.

how is easy is group b

group b
spain, south africa, iraq, new zealand
spain could play their 2nd string and win their games

group A
Italy, USA, Egypt, Brazil
Egypt is better than SA, Iraq and New Zealand...and I would say USA might be as well
oh well

I wouldnt want to go either i was just surprised to see only 78 took up the offer of free tickets

having said that hasn't exactly been difficult to get tickets for home qualifiers either

South AND North Korea qualify automatically for 2010, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to contest the 3rd placed playoff.

Most intriguing.

North Korea will get pounded at the Worl Cup. They are unbeatable at home in the intimidating atmosphere of Pyongyang but have lost a few on the road.

The freekick that put Bahrain through to the playoff was just special.

I'd argue that North Korea have this element of surprise, a certain "mysterious" quality about them that might make them dangerous to those who underestimate them.
