Yesterday ended the long and difficult road that is World Cup qualifying. The 32-team field is
set and while we won't know until next month what the groups are it does present a good time to
discuss each team and how they got there.
(Note: I hope this is a start of many more World Cup posts going into next year.

I was actually expecting a lot more from the Bosnians in this match... I mean, in the last match
they came out scathing for war, but by the end of this one all they'd done was fire blanks! Now we
have to watch man-o-sex C-Ron and his tanned cronies prance ...

If you're only going to have 5 players play well, make sure they include at least three
defenders and the goalkeeper. I'm writing in a vacuum I did have the Setanta commentator who
rightly pointed out how poor France were, but I have to say that I thought France were
shocking.
Good performances: Sagna, Evra, Gallas, Lloris, Anelka
Poor: Henry, A.

In Bob Bradley's search for Jozy Altidore's strike partner now that Charlie Davis is
unfortunately out for six months or more recovering from that horrific car crash.
Johnson has always been an enigma. Great promise and an ability to get behind defenses with his
speed. His was a blazing start with the MNT as he scored 7 goals in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers
including a goal on debut against El Salvador and a hat trick three days later against Panama.

The Fire meet the Revs today at Toyota Park, 8:30 PM
New England are up 2-1 in the first leg and are in great position to cause the second upset of
the playoffs. This match is of great interest for Fire fans because it could also be Blanco's last
MLS game as he is out of contract and is returning to second division Mexican club Veracruz.

This is what happen last time we have Wolves in the EPL
Arsenal visit Molineux Stadium tonight and it's a good oppourtunity to continue the good run

Aston Villa have came and gone home with only a point.

Sorin played yesterday his last match as a professional footballer. And the stage for the
farewell party could be no other place than the Mineirao, in Belo Horizonte. And the teams on the
field could be no different than Argentinos Juniors, club where the left-back started his career,
and Cruzeiro, club for whom he professes all his love.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Besiktas
Last year's Bundesliga champions have been disappointing this season. They have only shown
glimpses of the wonderful attacking football that we were all spoiled with this past year.
Grafite is back from a club-enforced break following his red card against Besiktas a fortnight
ago.

Barcelista 31 October @ 01:26 PM EST
Barca's next Liga match has them facing Osasuna, as they look for another win to maintain their
lead at the top of the table. Previous matches between the two teams have been pretty tight, so
let's hope Barca come off with a comfortable result tonight.

Valdés, Pinto, Puyol,
Piqué, Chygrynskiy, Márquez, Abidal, Maxwell, Keita, Touré, Sergio, Iniesta, Jeffren, Xavi,

This past week I was asked by Inside The Six's Richard Farley to discuss about MLS, the last
match at Giants Stadium, Red Bull New York, MLS as a whole and the situation of the USL & the
future of American Soccer.
Richard Farley who has been a guest many times on the MLS Talk Podcast with Kartik Krishnaiyer
was gracious enough to allow me to share my thoughts on the game here in the USA.

"Henrik Larsson always scores." The clip shows Celtic fighting back through Larsson against
Porto in a pulsating 2003 UEFA Cup final.
My memories of Larsson will always be defined by the Swedish striker entering the game in the
2006 CL final against Arsenal late in the second half.

Swedish legend Henrik Larsson had an emotional farewell from professional football on Wednesday
night as he played his last ever professional game for Swedish side Helsingborg. Larsson had
announced his intent to retire at the end of this season but decided to bow out one game early in
order to play his last match in front of the Helsinborg supporters.

After a painful loss at home to Rubin Kazan in the Champions League, Barca are looking to bounce
back into form with tonight's Liga meet with Real Zaragoza. With four days separating last match
day from this one, the team's had more time to prepare than usual in this World Cup- affected
schedule. What with that, players reterning from injury, and Real Madrid dropping two points last
night, tonight's game should be a great one for Barca.

FC Barcelona would be looking to put behind them the recent set-backs suffered in their campaign
tonight at Camp Nou. A failure to defeat Zaragoza at home will see alarm bells ringing around Barca
faithfuls. With Gijon holding Real Madrid to a goal less draw last night, it is upto Barca to
capitalise on Real's slip up.

31 weeks down, just one to go. Major League Soccer's 14th season has had its ups and downs,
goalkeeping errors and bad refereeing taking the shine off a year which gave us a superb rookie
class, some wonderful goals and more surprises than Portsmouth's directors' box. The Beckham
Experiment threw the focus on David Beckham's return from Milan and the Red Bulls.

Chelsea vs Atletico Madrid:
Chelsea will look to bounce back from their second loss of their domestic campaign. The Blues
lost to Aston Villa at the weekend because of two lapses on set pieces but Ballack says that they
are looking to eradicate those mistakes.
"John's (Terry) reaction on the pitch showed that he takes a big responsibility not just for
himself but for the team," said Ballack.

Blanco to the rescue againNow that the Hex has drawn to a close, we know the three teams that are moving on to South Africa,
and which one still has some work to do. CONCACAF always gets a bad rap, from within and without,
in regard to its level of play. Regardless, this has been the most competitive hex since its
inception in 1998: 5 teams were still alive with 2 matches to go.

Most of the heavy favourites have already qualified for the World Cup due next summer in South
Africa. Previous World Cup winners such as Brazil, Germany, England, Argentina and Italy (also
current WC Winners) all booked their spot in South Africa following a long and arduous road.
Some teams such as Argentina have struggled while others such as England have cruised, yet the
World Cup stage is a different playing field and previous results will not count.

Now when will I get my chance Arsene?
Finally it's over. There will be no more interruption from my beloved Arsenal. Well, not at
least until next season when the qualifying round for the European Championship begins anyway. I'm
sure there will be more international games to come between now and next May but at least it would
not be for a whole 12-14 days.

Denmark's last match against Hungary was a quite pathetic 0-1 loss (in fact, the first world cup
qualifying defeat in Copenhagen since 1981....), but didn't mean anything because of Denmark's 1-0
victory against Sweden last Saturday, that had already given the Danes their ticket to South Africa
next year.

The United States faced Costa Rica in the last match for both teams in the CONCACAF hexagonal
