with only 209 days left till the big kick off, only 23 team have secured their spot in next summers "big dance". with the other 9 spots to be filled all by the end of the day on the 18th. probably the most complicated/exciting group decisions will be the africa qualifiers. with the ivory coast and ghana already in, there is still 3 spots to be filled. top contenders are cameroon, gabon, nigeria, algeria, and egypt. also, under the most of shadows will be the battle between new zealand and bahrain, with the kiwis being favorites. in europe, with already nine squads qualified, four seats are still available, with the shock of both portugal and france who are yet to secure their tickets in. playoffs are to be settled in four two legged matches. after all those are said and done, the final booking will be either strong force of uruguay, who finished strong but short in a fifth in the south american zone, or the limping actions of costa rica who maxed out at fourth for the CONCACAF.
should be interesting to see what happens, yet, its gonna be soooooo fucking exciting to FINALLY have the 32 squads settled. after that, we'll just have to wait for the group drawings and sit back and enjoy the warm up friendlys. then ... BAM, June 11th, 2010. KICK-OFF !
P.S. : isn't mexicos new jersey just FUCKING HIDEOUS !!!

well the final teams secured their spots for South Africa next summer, while uruguay set the last post with a 2-1 aggregate score over costa rica. the second to last post and for sure the most controversial of them all is france, whos 1-1 tie in extra time put them in with 2-1 aggregate. but the real downside of the match is france's controversial goal. william gallas scored after thierry henry oh so obviously handled the ball right before he passed it. i , for one, am down with fair play and therefore am all for a rematch. i think the irish were robbed and should not be out just yet, especially with a performance like that. the irish just put on the better game and deserved that win, what wouldve happened in ET, without the hand ball, or in penalties, who knows, but we shouldve found out. REMATCH-REMATCH-REMATCH !!!
