World Cup 2010 Qualifiers
It's good to be back and posting on this 'ere World Cup football blog. It's been a long time.
But the draw for the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup Finals has been announced - the complete list is here on the official FIFA site
The most notable fixtures thrown up by this draw are the pairing of England with Croatia in Group 6 - Croatia, of course, put England out of Euro 2008.
Also in Europe, Greece seem to have been given a free pass to the Finals as their Group 2 opponents include Latvia, Luxembourg and Moldova. Still, the Greeks have been impressive of late and did, of course, win Euro 2004, so good luck to 'em.
In North America, I can barely understand the system. But the end result will be that the USA and Mexico qualify, so I really wouldn't worry about the details.
Elsewhere, there should be typical chaos in the African groups, but expect Nigeria not to mess it all up this time.
Down in South America, the qualification process is already underway with the usual suspects plus Paraguay looking strong.
