More world cup qualifying

75 games are in action on the 5th, 6th and 9th of September. We should get at least a couple of additions to the world cup lineup (currently South Africa, Japan, Australia, Korea Republic, Netherlands and Korea DPR).

New Zealand’s playoff opponent will be decided in the Asian 5th place playoff between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

In Africa, Ghana can go through with a win over Sudan if Mali and Benin draw.

In Europe, Denmark can go through with wins over Portugal and Albania if Hungary don’t beat Sweden and Portugal.

Slovakia can go through with wins over Northern Ireland and Czech Republic if Poland don’t beat Northern Ireland.

Germany can go through by beating Azerbaijan if Russia loses to Liechtenstein and Wales and Finland doesn’t beat Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein.

Spain can go through by beating Estonia and Belgium if Bosnia-Herzegovina don’t beat Armenia and Turkey.

England can get through no questions asked with a win over Croatia.

Serbia can get through with a win over France if France also lose to Romania.

Italy can go through with wins over Georgia and Bulgaria if the Republic of Ireland loses to Cyprus.

Almost anything could happen in CONCACAF – Costa Rica, Honduras and the USA could all qualify if results go their way. More than likely it will remain a 4-way battle with Mexico for the direct spots.

In CONMEBOL, Brazil can qualify by beating Argentina and Chile. Chile can qualify by beating Brazil and Venezuela if Ecuador don’t win both their games. Paraguay can qualify by beating Bolivia and Argentina if Ecuador don’t get at least a win and a draw, and Uruguay don’t win both their games.

Looking forward to a lot of time spent on footytube.com next week.
