    Didn't see a thread to discuss national teams goings on beyond the US and and Euro thread.

    And with all the interesting stuff going on today beyond the US and Euro qualifying: (CONCACAF WCQ and friendlies, Asian WCQ, world friendlies, etc), I thought I'd start one.

    Apologies if I missed an existing thread.

    Item #1: Julius James and Stern John in the starting XI for T&T's home WCQ against Bermuda.

    Item #2: Poland 1:1 Mexico in Poland.

    Item #3: Ekpo called into Nigeria camp for 9/6 friendly vs. Argentina.

    Ekpo needs to stick Messi in his carry-on bag and bring him back to Columbus when he returns.

    T&T up 1-0 on Bermuda (Kenwyne Jones, not sure if Stern involved).

    And somewhat surprisingly, Belize is up 2-0 away to the top seeded and Shalrie Josephless Grenada in the second half.

    Too bad only the top seeds advance. Belize would be a fantastic spot for an away WCQ for the USA.

    Some of the Asian WQC was surprisingly close (top 2 per group advance)

    Group A:
    China 2:1 Singapore (fell behind 0-1 early and needed a PK to tie,)
    Iraq 0:2 Jordan (big win on the road, this group is wide open)

    Group B:
    South Korea 6:0 Lebanon (overmatched)
    United Arab Emirates 2:3 Kuwait (another big road win, big for 2nd)

    Group C
    Japan 1:0 North Korea (goal in 90th)
    Tajikistan 0:1 Uzbekistan

    Group D:
    Australia 2:1 Thailand (Thailand up 1-0 early, winner in '86)
    Oman 0:0 Saudi Arabia

    Group E:
    Iran 3:0 Indonesia
    Bahrain 0:0 Qatar
    ==========================

    Meanwhile, back in our backyard:

    Guyana 0:3 Belize. Stunner.
    T&T 1-0 Bermuda (thought they'd win by more)

    Suriname 1:0 Cayman Islands (HT)

    And Jamaica is getting crushed in Quito: 3-0 Ecuador at halftime.

    Just went to FIFA, and they have the Belize match as, alternatively, 1-0 or 2-0 to Belize.

    How hard is it to keep score in soccer?

    Never trust soccernet.

    Haiti 6:0 US Virgin Islands

    In Progress:
    Antigua & Barbuda 3:1 Curacao (2nd half)
    Canada 1:1 St. Lucia (1st Half)

    Canada scored first, then gave up a goal a minute later.
