Here, the latest scores from the latest round of 2010 World Cup and African Cup of Nations
qualifiers...
The joint qualifying campaign will decide which five teams will join hosts South Africa at the
World Cup in 2010.
The qualification process will also decide the 15 teams who will join host Angola to take part
at the 2010 African Cup of Nations.
Interesting article from the Bangkok Post about how confusing the 2010 African World Cup qualifiers
are. As they put it, 'FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) are on course to score
an own goal' with their qualifier rules.
Basically, there's a situation where South Africa may have to lose or draw to make it to the next
round (weird, I know.
Now that South Africa have been eliminated from playing in the 2010 African Cup of Nations in
Angola ahead of hosting the 2010 World Cup, many in the nation are blaming the South African
Football Association (Safa) for their football development programs.
Safa chief Raymond Hack doesn't respond kindly to these critics, calling them "idiots who do

Benin overcame the formidable challenge of Angola on Sunday to join Nigeria and Cameroon in the

of Nations takes place.
Now that South Africa has been eliminated from the 2010 African Cup of Nations, will South Africa
coach Joel Santana get the boot?
A South African newspaper editorial from the Cape Times doesn't seem to think so.
The South African Football Association must stay calm and resist the urge to fire coach
Joel Santana after Bafana Bafana failed to qualify for the African Nations Cup in Angola in
2010.
We'll discuss separately whether the USA's second 1-0 qualifying win is a wonderfully efficient
and professional performance or a boring show by a team that should have the confidence to get
after it.
No U.S. fans will be complaining about the standings, at least. With Trinidad and
Tobago managing only a home draw against Guatemala, the USA could clinch
a spot in next year's finals with two games to play.
