Any highlights of Sweden Kazakh? I wana see did they make as hard work of them as we did.:rolleyes:

well even without the highlights, it was 1-0 until the 90th minute so the answer is Yes. Even if they had 10 million shots on goal it was still 1-0 until the final minute so they were a deflection away from dropping the points a la Northern Ireland did. So yes they struggled!!!

I'd still like to see highlights. Sweden took the lead in the first half. Were they losing and outplayed for 88 minutes? Or did they control the game and make a professional job of it?

It was real smash and grab point for Luxembourg, saw the first half and followed the live text for the 2nd. NI had numerous chances to kill them off, had a dodgy disallowed goal and Lux scored with a freak deflection in a very rare attack.

If ever there was an advert for not killing a team off...terrible result though.

I checked the Fifa rankings. Northern Ireland are 129, Luxembourg are 106.

I'd just like to congratulate the North on nicking a point off superior opposition.

Ever heard of the saying "The pot calling the kettle black"?

You seem to put down Northern Ireland all the time on this forum...is that to compensate for your own team's inadequacies?

Colombia seem to be doing well lately. Never really noticed them before but they seem to be sticking out now.

anyone know of a magazine type show with the highlights of each game after each round, im at a loss why it isnt on like the champions league one is

Not on Irish/UK TV that I know of. I watch Football Asia and The Global Game on Al Jazeera Sport, between them they cover most of the games.

I know FIFA have a show on TV about Brazil 2014, but it doesn't show highlights. It does be on RTE sometimes late at night.

It'd be a good show alright. I think it'd add a bit to the finals itself as you could how far some of the smaller countries have come (level-wise rather than geograpically) to make it to the finals.

I'm guessing they can't do it because of hassle involved with having having to get the rights to hundreds of different broadcasts owned by hundreds of different stations?

Compare it to how UEFA pretty much have the CL and Europa sewn up as a nice neat product. So much so they can even tell you to change your stadiums name for the day if they so wish ("Dublin Arena" lol).

And there's usually a great game or two every time the South American teams play. A magazine show would be class.

No, never heard it. Did you make it up just now?

In fairness I only put them down when they turn in an embarrassing performance, so that'd probably only be about 10 times a year presently.

At least nowadays we can get the results and see how the qualification is processing in the other confederations.

Pre-internet this was actually close to impossible; up to USA 1994 it was quite literally only until the draw was being done 9 months before the finals that you'd know who the African/Asian qualifiers were, but as for knowing how they qualified, forget it. The result of a Japan v UAE or Bolivia v Ecuador qualifier game would never be published in the results section of the newspapers or mentioned on news bulletins. If your local newsagent sold a few copies of FIFA World Soccer published about 6 times a year that was about the only chance.

There used to be a similar show on Eurosport which would show the goals, this was years ago and I don't have Eurosport anymore so not sure if they still run it.

i thought fifa would have the rights to the games ultimatly?!

I don't think that would be a problem for FIFA as they surely have the rights to all the matches?

For the Canada V Cuba game only 11 players of Cuba turned up for the match

markie29

Messi scores to give Argentina in the lead against Uruguay.

3-0 now...Aguero scored the 2nd and Messi with the third from a free kick.

and Falcao scored 2 for Colombia as they beat Paraguay 2-0.

Charisteas

The South American group is at the exact half-way point now, still all to play for with only really Bolivia and Paraguay out of it.

No real surprises in Europe last night (which was great for the accumulator), and decent away wins for Belgium and Romania.

Fair play to Sweden but ze Germans living up to their bottler reputation.

If you are not able to hold on to a 4:0 lead at home, the manager has to question himself. Tonight's laughing stock price goes to Germany.

It could be going to Portugal unless they do something quick.

Albania, Hungry and Northern Ireland cause some upsets tonight

Hard to believe how badly this campaign is going for Uruguay. 1 point from their last four games and in a 3 way battle for the last spot and 1/2 spot.

You can add Montenegro and Macedonia to that list.

Very happy with the win for Italy. A comfortable victory despite having 10 men for half the game against a decent Danish team. Balotelli's goal was a lovely finish. Pirlo invincible again tonight. Another 6 points and they are all but qualified.

Charisteas

Jeez what happened to Canada, only needed a draw to go through to the next round and get trounced 8-1, talk about cracking under pressure.

There were one or two surprises in Europe but the only real upset was by Northern Ireland getting a draw.

Ahh Honduras have come on leap and bounds in the past few years

Jesus just watched the Italy game.

Balotelli was epic!

Maybe so, but Canada were 2 points ahead of them going into the match and are five places above them in the FIFA world rankings, so it really seemed like a 50:50 game going into it, I just don't know how on Earth they lost 8-1

So there are 6 teams left in North American qualification now who will all play each other home and away in a 6-team league (USA, Mexico, Honduras, Panama, Jamaica, and Costa Rica), with the top 3 going to the World Cup, and 4th placed team advancing to a play-off with the winner of Oceania (likely New Zealand).

USA and Mexico should finish in the top 3, not sure who will grab the other spot though but I'll wager Honduras.
