US are down 0-2 to El Salvador right now in the second half. It may be an easy qualifying group, but there are some quality teams that are really hard to play on the road.
------
Well they had a late comeback to get a 2-2 draw with goals at 76' and 87'. That's a big point on the road. They lead the group with 4 points after 2 games.

Serbia!

A really great win for the Serbians here, Romania is pretty decent side.

It's to bad Serbia & Montenegro split, let alone the dissolution of Yugoslavia. there are some decent talent in the Balkans that can make a good team.

I recon, if Yugoslavia would be still a team, we will have the world dominance in football.

[DJ_Buster]

World domincance is going to far...

but I'd put you guys on the same level of Spain, Italy, Brazil's current national sides.

Of course better than the English national team.

Wow thats an incredible comeback that late in a soccer match...especially on the road!

Shouldnt be an issue qualifying...man are the AMericans lucky where they compete.

[Echoes]

Yeah, USA and Mexico should never have any trouble qualifying. But it's still probably more difficult than Asia. Europe, Africa, and South America are pretty stacked.
------
Cameroon is off to a bad start in the final round of the African qualification. They lost their first game 1-0 to Togo.

One of my favorite teams, Côte d'Ivoire, won 5-0 over Malawi.

Ivory Coast needs to find a better place to play and probably even a relocation from their current home ground, and they should fix it, every player to give some money to it, they just had like 20 people die when the wall collapsed on them, sorry to say but their own fault because they tried to climb the wall to see the game without paying a ticket.

No suprise with all these results, looking good for everyone so far.
