Zakumi awaits
We have a month before world cup qualifying concludes its final group stages, so I thought it would
be fun for the next few weeks to look at each continental zone that is still in play.
November will have playoffs in Europe for their four remaining spots, the CONCACAF/CONMEBOL
showdown (which can be either a dullard like Costa Rica- Venezuela, or a blockbuster like
Argentina-USA – stay tuned), and the world-stopping Bahrain-New Zealand tilt.
Good weekend for the USA, as none of Argentina/France/Portugal could win.
1) In Africa, this weekend's results mean that Cameroon and Tunisia should now be considered clear
favorites to qualify. If Gabon can't beat Cameroon at home, then how they can hope to get a result
on the road? Togo let in a last second equalizer against Morocco which probably ended their hopes.
All the stuff being covered outside the unfriendly confines of the award winning Dirty

While Omar and his boys from Bahrain were shooting down the Saudis in the Kingdom, New Zealand were
in that other Kingdom kicking it with the Hashemites. It was an experience. New Zealand won the
friendly 3-1. The Hashemites ain't got game no mo'.
New Zealand fancy their chances now.
After this weekend's interesting qualifiers for the World Cup i South Africa, we had more countries
qualify, so that we now know eight of the nations that will surely be in South Africa next year.The
Asian countries qualified in June , and the only pending issue is the match between Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia, about who will get a play-off match against New Zealand:AustraliaJapanSouth

When Ahmed Hassan wheeled away to celebrate scoring a 92nd minute equalizer against Trinidad and
Tobago, Bahrain believed they were on their way to the 2006 World Cup. Colombian ref Oscar Julian
Ruiz Acost had other ideas. The goal was of the Best Banks variety. The sort of goal no one wants
to see disallowed, especially when the forward's cheekiness is executed with such fine
precision.
Nasser Al Shamrani scored the opener for Arabia, but in the 40th minute my man Abdulla Omar burst
in the box and fed Brother Jaycee John. 1-1. It remained 1-1 until the 91st minute, when Hamad
Al-Montashari nodded in what looked like the winner. The Kingdom gave all praises to Allah.
But Ismail Abdullatif had other ideas.
