Sorry, but some catch-ups are to be done. And this could be useful for talking about eventual opponents.
Return leg Uzbekistan - Jordan today. The winner will face either Uruguay or Ecuador, unfortunately (the last time it was the Oceania winner, so New Zealand....)
As of now, who is already qualified for the Brazil 2014 WC? I kniw host Brazil and the 4, including Japan, from Asia. Anyone else already qualified, or on the verge to depending on today's result?
Italy needs a win, Germany, Switzerland and Netherlands all depending on today's result. Colombia needs a draw
This is incredible: Jordan had played well since 2011, but I didn't expect them to come this long way.
Jordan won at penalties, meh. I feel sorry for Uzbekistan since they were literally robbed of a regular goal along their WCQ last round but that's football. They had a chance today but failed. Sigh of relief for Uruguay or Ecuador, anyway.
USA qualifies after beating Mexico 2-0 and Panama and Honduras draw 2-2. Glad to see both my teams set for Brazil.
Qualified Teams as of now: 1- Brazil. 2 - Japan. 3 - Australia. 4- South Korea. 5- Iran. 6- Netherlands. 7-Italy. 8- USA. 9- Costa Rica. 12 teams will qualify in October and the remaining 11 will be decided in November.
Surprising Costa Rica: I wouldn't bet a Euro on them two years ago. I would expect Panama or Jamaica. Meanwhile, Mexico risks of missing even the play-off against New Zealand.
welp @ Mexico... they have a better schedule than Panama though. Costa Rica has some good players like Ruiz
also is the new jerseys out? i see renderings with a blue and pink jersey being thrown around but i don't think its legit.
