Official World Cup 2010 Qualifying Thread

[Echoes]

Japan isn't bad. Don't they usually qualify?

[ysabel]

They did in the past 3 WC but their standing is bad except during the WC in Korea (waits for padd to say it's due to cheating, lol). In the last Olympics, I think the US team even beat them.

[Aleks]

Yeah, they tend to change their performance now and then.

[Echoes]

It's not like Australia is a football power either though. The 2006 World Cup was their first one in 32 years.

[Aleks]

Yeah, but I recon they have improved a fair bit.

[English-Emo-Boy]

England had a disappointing 2-0 win.

I'm very rarely disappointed with a win.

Dude, it's 60 mins into the game and we're down. Austria has 2... I miss Ribery!


aaargh! We finally scored but then a stupid error gave a freebie to Austria. Now we're down again by 2 points. 3-1, austria 73rd min.

Game over...and that's the final score...pfft

[Bananas]

Poor Ysabel!

Wales had a poor performance, Azerbaijan gave us a penalty(that was saved) and they also had a player sent off. We got lucky and scored in the final minutes. Final score a rather unconvincing 1-0.... we got the 3pts at least.

Germany lead the group beating Liechtenstein 6-0
