Another North American country Mexico also qualified too. By beating El-Salvador in a big gap, they have achiever the qualification from CONCACAF. Still one match has left that will be taken place on 14 October. If both the teams get lose but it may not feel any effect on the standings especially for USA. Costa Rica’s wins would be trouble for Mexico if they lose to Trinidad & Tobago. But it is almost impossible because Trinidad is very weak team and just secured one win over the season.

Earlier this year Mexico took on Trinidad in their home ground but this time Mexico is going to visit Trinidad in their home ground. In January, this year, Mexico just earned 2-1 victory. In the recent previous match González M., Blanco C., Palencia F. and Vela C. contributed to secured victory with single goal each. But in answer to, El Salvador midfielder Julio Enrique Martínez able to paid one satisfaction goal.

The first half of US and Honduras was totally goalless but within ten minutes both the teams scored one goal each and next ten minutes was goalless. After 65 minutes the goals come in a narrow distance. Casey C. and Donovan’s scores pulled US to watch dream for World Cup. Honduras tried to come back to the game by netted a goal at 78'. If Honduras could win over US then they would have a complete opportunity to qualify for the South Africa.

Argentina Vs Peru Highlights WC Qualifying football match 2010

South American giant Argentina is in huge pressure and going to take on Peru in the do-or-die match of world cup qualifying match. Sitting on the fifth they are planning not to play a play-off match to be qualified for the World Cup football 2010 in South Africa. What is the way to overcome this situation? The foot venue Antonio Vespucio Liberti is all set to celebrate the important match of the between Peru and Argentina. The kick off time is Saturday, October 10, 2009 time 23:00 UK. We all know that Argentina was beat to the arch rival Brazil 1-3 and the drawn with Paraguay makes them anxious their status in world football.

Argentina is one of the world’s most anticipated football nations. Its early exile will make unhappy million of fans. So, all eyes are fixed at the match of Peru and Argentina at Antonio Vespucio Liberti. The two times world cup title holder Argentina is my favorite football team. I hope it will be earned the wins over  the weakest South American football nation Peru. We all know that Peru could not reach world stage but Argentina has a prestigious position in word football. Although this is not important here, just needs two wins to qualify and fly in South Africa.

In the last four matches, Argentina could not secure any wins and makes everything ready to come back home and the total wining statistic is very bad and 6 wins out of 16 matches. On the other hand, Peru is on the bottom and just secured two wins. As a die-heart supports I want, Diego Maradona’s team will be one of the team from South America. At the same time, it is the time for to justify coaching of the star Diego Maradona as a coach. Argenine star Diego Maradona joined to the national team as Coach one year ago. But the observation of his one-year’s efforts for his home team does not bring any productive sing for the team.

The match highlight will be available in Super Sports3 television channel. And here are some websites where you will get the live text commentary minutes-to-minutes.

Paraguay vs Argentina Preview and competitive standing table WC qualifying 2010

To day is September 9, 2009 (09.09.09). Perhaps it is not an important day in world history but have some important game in football era. Among them Argentina vs Paraguay and England vs Croatia will be offer all the football fans extra pleasure. Argentina’s must win match aims to enter in the next world cup 2010 in South Africa.

You all know that Argentina got defeated to Brazil last week and fighting to hold the fourth position when ever Paraguay is on the third. If Argentina gets defeat to Paraguay then they could steps down from this position and Ecuador and Colombia have chance to stretch them up. Five football nations are in very competitive are that are just 1-4 down each other. So one lose can change the total structure of the standings table.

If Paraguay gets defeat to Argentina the may not change their position but Argentina will able to make their position steady because of 5 points game from each other. If Maradona’s team fall and Colombia and Ecuador rise then Argentina has to lead the 6 position just for one points back from each other.

Carlos Tevez may not appear in the today’s match because I can not see his name in the declared squad.

Brazil expects Ronaldinho’s back in World Cup 2010

It is still doubt that Brazilian midfield player Ronaldinho will be allowed for the next FIFA World Cup 2010 that supposed to be held in South Africa. In a recent conversation the former Brazilian players and responsible coach Dunga expressed his opinion but Ronaldinho have to proof his quality. Ronaldinho is performing low comparing with the expectation level and that is why he has been kept out from the Confederation Cup. Recently, Ronaldinho is playing on the side of Barcelona in Spanish league. Now, Question is; will he attend in the final of Confederation Cup against USA?

Goal reported:

Now, with Brazil in the final this weekend, Dunga said "I would like him to return, but if he is going to do it, I do not know".

"The question of his return is down to him...Obviously the responsibility falls on him, it depends on him more than me, but I would like him to return," AS quote him as saying.

I think all will be agree with me that Brazil could not play well in the confederation cup, though they have reached in the final. To get win they had to be anxious with the very less important football team. May be this is the main cause of returning of Ronaldinho. The ongoing performances are making doubt Brazil fans to do well in the next WC football. The team is going to take on USA in Confederation Cup final tonight at Coca-Cola Stadium.

Uzbekistan vs Australia World Cup 2010 Qualifying Match: Preview and Live Score

Uzbekistan is going to take on Australia in world cup qualifying match tomorrow at the Uzbek Capital Tashkent. This is a very important match for both of the sides. Both of the teams will want to win the match because a win will make their position solid in the group. In their earlier matches, Australia defeated another opponent and Uzbekistan lost to them. Recently, Australia defeated Netherlands in Netherlands. You know that Netherlands is the fourth ranked football team in the world now. So, it was an impressive win for Australia to defeat Netherlands in Netherlands. On the other hand, Uzbekistan recently suffered a humiliating defeat to Qatar by 3-0 at Qatar.

So, considering the recent performances Australia look to be the hot favorite in the match. The country is earning a lot of revenue from oil and gas and the government is focusing on spending lavishly for building the infrastructure and other facilities for football. In fact, recently there was a rumor that one of the top players of Barcelona, Samuel Eto'o, might join an Uzbek club. However, it did not come true, but later we saw that Barcelona went to Uzbekistan and built a partnership with a local club. This shows that the country has good potential for football.

In tomorrow’s match, the main strength of Australia would be Europe-based players like Harry Kewell. Football is not the most popular game in Australia. In fact, Australians do not even call it football; they call it soccer. However, a number of Australian players play in European leagues and some of them are considered to be good player in English premier league. So, Australia has a world class team. On the other hand, Uzbekistan is composed mainly young player. The age of most of the players from 24-29 and they are young and spirited. The only thing they lacked is perhaps the experience.

One thing that team Australia should be worried about is climate. Right now, it is winter time in Australia, but the condition will be hot and humid in Tashkent. There is a forecast that the temperature might reach 30 degree centigrade and it is not an enjoyable condition for playing football. In fact, Uzbekistan is not only hot but humidity may also high and it may cause a lot of problem for the Australian players. Also, you have to remember that Uzbek players are very strong in their home and they can challenge any team in their own soil.

The good thing is that Australian players are not taking the match lightly. Their coach has already cautioned against it. Harry Kewell has also said not to be complacent about the match. One thing that can give some good confidence to Harry Kewell and his teammates is that Uzbekistan plays in a similar formation like the Dutch. So, it will give them an extra advantage to face opposition with similar strategy.

I am expecting a full-house crowd for the match. Football is the most popular sports in Uzbekistan. On the other hand, the match will kick of at 1:30 am in Australian time. So, I do not think that too many people will bother to watch the match in Australia at way past midnight. After this match, Australian players will have five-week break. Then they will play against Qatar in Australia next month. However, for many players playing in European league, there will be no break. They will have to be totally busy with European league. Of course, I do not think that it is a bad thing because they will not have any problem with match practice. The only problem may happen for these players is that they are going to play in Europe, and in Asian and in Australian condition in very short time. Well, today’s footballers are real professional and they have this kind of habit and they have to do this kind of things on a regular basis. So, I do not think that it will be that big of a problem for the players.

You can watch the match live in Fox Sports 3 and Star Sports depending on your location. You can get live score of the match in Live Score website too.

Uzbekistan vs Australia Preview: World Cup 2010 Qualifying

After being defeated badly by Qatar, Uzbekistan will be desperate to win their next match with Australia. Hence, Australian football coach, Pim Verbeek, warned his players to be extra cautious. The Australian team which defeated Netherland by 2 goals to 1, seemed pretty confident but Pim Verbeek told them that they should be ready to face a serious opponent.


Australia is going to face Uzbekistan in Tashkent on September 10, 2008. Pim Verbeek said that he would change the team's strategy to face Uzbekistan and he said that he has good impressions of the team and his plans for Wednesday.


Australian striker, Brett Holman, also agreed with Verbeek and said that result is not the main factor. They should think about themselves and how they should play the game. Brett believes that Uzbekistan is a better team, or else, they could not have made it to the second round of the World Cup qualifying match. However, Australians are hopeful because the formation of Uzbekistan is similar to that of Netherlands whom they beat.
