2010 World Cup Qualification matches

Hello, Sir_bobby88! The latest results in football support your opinion, as many small teams have achieved some good results when nobody was giving them a chance. Romania managed to make a draw against France last night (1-1) . France totally dominated the match and practically humiliated us, but the final result is great for us, considering the huge difference between their players and ours.

I think Argentina vs Brazil is the most expected game of the week-end. I don't know why, but something tells me Argentina will win the match. They played really well in the friendly match against Russia, and they really need the points. I think it will be a very nice game to watch. I'll be watching it for sure during the France-Romania break and after my national team's match will end. By the way, I know some websites where you can watch matches for free from all over the world. If you are interested, let me know and I'll send you the links via PM.

Even though the record shown that Brazil never won in that stadium before, I always want Brazil to win in this games. Apart from England, I always support Brazil when it come to a national team. Their skills and pace is wonderful to watch. Argentina might have the power on their strike force but the lost the link man. They have no creative midfielder. Mascherano is more to defensive midfielder. Veron already past his times. The only player can play there with creativity is Riquelme. But he left the national team after spat with Maradona.

Hi friend, I am sorry to hear that, although i had known that your national team reach the World Cup final. Comparing with you, i am lucky, as Chinese national team had play a Worlf Cup final on 2002. Although it is not a good experience for Chinese national team, i still happy i can experience it. But since that, Chinese professional league have went down all the time. And now, i do not even watch through a complete match. But i am not sure why it happens. I feel realy regretful about Chinese football. As a Chinese, i sincerely hope Chinese football can go up and reach the world cup final again. By the way, you had known that i had watched the game between Argentina and Brazil. Not comment any more about it.

I think Nigeria still have their chance of qualifying, but it's not up to them any more... Tunisia has to make at least a draw... I wanted to see this match earlier, but I could only find Arab-speaking channels to see the match on. Ghana, on the other hand seems to have an easy road to the World Cup - 3 victories out of 3, and it looks like they're winning the 4th too. Cote d'Ivoire also seems to be in good shape. I'm surprised to see Gabon on the first place in that group... I must admit though, that I haven't been following the African teams lately... I'm looking forward for the next African Nations Cup - that's when all my football attention is focused on Africa.

My fear was confirmed; Nigeria could only manage a two all draw with Tunisia. If a country and her players take things for granted instead of giving it all it takes, that's the type of result and mess they deserve. I don't cry for Nigeria! I don't see Tunisia slipping when the ticket to the world cup is in view. At this stage, even if both Nigeria and Tunisia ended up with the same number of points and Nigeria has a superior goal difference, it won't count. REMEMBER THE HEAD TO HEAD RULE. Nigeria and Tunisia played a goal-less draw in Tunis. Congratulations to Ghana, they did it! The Ghana-Sudan match really didn't live up to the billing but the most important thing is that Ghana won and booked her place in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Cote d'Ivoire, by my own calculation, was the first country in Africa to qualify. The country has 12 point from four matches. Their closest rival, Burkina Faso, has six points from the same number of matches. Even if Burkina Faso wins the next two qualifying matches to end up with 12 points, and Cote d'Ivoire loses the next two qualifying matches to remain at 12 points; Cote d'Ivoire will still be the winner by the head to head rule. The number of goal difference of Burkina Faso will be immaterial for the Ivoriens beat the Burkinabes home and away!

A great player doesn't necessarily turn out to be a great coach. And Maradona doesn't seem to be a great coach (at least from the results Argentina had under his command until now), so I think it's not really correct to say "the great Maradona", but rather "the former great player Maradona"

I am for Brazil. Just watch them this time. If they come head to head with Argentina again, it will be a great match. We will be able to see some real football.

Yeah, I dont think just because he was a great soccer superstar he deserves to coach the Argentenian Nationnal Team. They have some very good players like ofcourse Messi and Maxi Rodriguez. Its time they beat brazil head to head, they havent won one in a long time. And for Brazil, there not that unbeatable, I mean look at the confederations v=cup final between US and them, that was a close one.

I didn't see the match between Argentina and Brazil, as it was around 3 am in my time zone... I am a bit sorry Argentina lost the match, but I am surprised to see Datolo score again! He played for the first time in the national team against Russia and he scored then too. I guess there really is something about this kid. Why do you say China is not allowed to play in the qualifiers? From what I see on the FIFA website, China played their chance, but they were knocked-out during the 3rd qualifying round, when they placed 4th in a group with Australia, Quatar and Iraq... I know it must be frustrating to really love football and to see that your national team is not playing very well, but China has many valuable athletes in other sports that you can be proud of (gymnastics, table tennis, badminton, etc.).

I think a draw against Serbia would be great. They are, after all, the best team of the group, and certainly a better team than Romania. I think the Serbian will play to win, so that they seize the first place before their last match against Lithuania, so it will be really hard to beat them on their home ground.
