World Cup Qualifying





Barrel of Fun

Abort, retry, fail
The cricket team unrecognisable, a very poor Olympics by their standards, in the eternal shadow of the All Blacks in Rugby Union and their football team struggling to qualify from one of the easiest groups around.

It's not a great time for Aussie sport.

Now Tim Cahill, their best player, has been bafflingly substituted to a chorus of boos.

Wheels falling off.

1-0 Australia.

The sub has scored. He must be feeling proper smug after that.

uzbekistan vs qatar
south korea vs iran

later on...qatar can't qualify, uzbekistan are 2 points behind iran, so if UZBEKISTAN beat qatar and south korea beat iran, then uzbekistan will be booking their flights

otherwise it's a play-off with either JORDAN or OMAN (who play each other) in a play-off, with the winner reaching ANOTHER play-off against the 5th placed team from south america
magical stuff

All sorts of this...

The theme music, Gary Lineker in a short sleeved shirt, the unexpeected shock, the sweepstake, the COLOUR, the Brazilian and Argentine FILTH in the stands, the press conferences, the time difference, watching England fall to pieces, I love it ALL

This.

ANOTHER play-off against the 5th placed team from south america

Looks most likely to be against Uruguay (but could be Chile, Venezuela or Peru):

Uruguay do have a game in hand so could close on Chile for fourth, but three of their four remaining games are against the group's top three teams.
