Matches from Tuesday till Thursday:

CONCACAF:

17 June, 23.00, ARG, 1st leg, grp 1: Antigua and Barbuda vs Cuba (Cuba should be favourites here, having nearly qualified for the third round in their last qualifying and with a couple of good performances at the Caribbean Cup in recent years.)
18 June, 21.00, Trelawny, 2nd leg, grp 2: Jamaica vs Bahamas (aggregate 7-0)

South America

17 June, 22.00, Montevideo: Uruguay vs Peru (Peru are yet to win, and their last away match was a humiliating 1-5 in Ecuador. They will take consolation from their last meeting, on neutral ground in the Copa América, where Peru won 3-0.)
18 June, 20.10, La Paz: Bolivia vs Paraguay (Paraguay are on menacing form - well, if you exclude friendly losses to Honduras and South Africa. Only one goal conceded in five qualifying games though. Meanwhile, Bolivia have scored three in five games, yet it was Bolivia who won 2-1 when they last met in La Paz.)
18 June, 22.20, Quito: Ecuador vs Colombia (Ecuador earned a draw in Argentina a couple of days ago; before that they had 0-5, 0-5, 5-1 in three games! So rather up and down. Colombia are third after going unbeaten, though they've scored less than a goal a match.)
19 June, 00.50, Belo Horizonte: Brazil vs Argentina (this is the big one. Brazil played a second-string squad against Paraguay, and the axe will surely hang over Dunga if his team loses here. Argentina, meanwhile, are sitting prettily in second with their squad full of La Liga stars.)
20 June, 00.00, Puerto La Cruz: Venezuela vs Chile (table neighbours, though it's Chile who have struggled to get the points recently. Hugo Chavez spent a fair few millions on the new stadium here - it's a bit of a backwater tbh. Got an oil refinery though.)

They don't, but as the qualifying doubles as qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations, they're in it. I think the results of their games is taken out when considering World Cup qualifying.
Which makes a lot more sense then just playing a bunch of random crap friendlies at Craven Cottage v some random Euro team.

Yeah, not sure I'd introduce a whole new tournament right next to the World Cup though to avoid that though. :p

Results yesterday:

Uruguay 6-0 Peru (well, there's a result. Hat trick from Forlán and the Peruvians were outclassed.)

Antigua & Barbuda 3-4 Cuba (strangest match. Antigua took the lead twice in the first half, only to be pegged back, then it was Antigua's turn to equalise with ten minutes to go. Leonel Pla sealed the win for Cuba though.)

Results from yesterday:

Bolivia 4-2 Paraguay (well, finally La Paz height helped Bolivians...when I had put a pound on the Paraguay win. Gits.)
Ecuador 0-0 Colombia (both teams still in the running)
Brazil 0-0 Argentina (boos met Dunga, whose job must be under threat. If there's a winner in Venezuela v Chile, then Brazil will fall to fifth place, outside the direct qualification spots.)
Bahamas 0-6 Jamaica (five goals in the first half, and the aggregate brought to 13-0. Congratulations Rose.)

The World Cup continues apace

20 June, 00.00, Puerto La Cruz: Venezuela 2-3 Chile (Chile ran out deserved winners, despite handing away a 1-0 advantage; injury time goal from Humberto Suazo sealed the match.)

Code:
Paraguay       6 4 1 1 13-5  13
Argentina      6 3 2 1  9-3  11
Colombia       6 2 4 0  4-2  10
Chile          6 3 1 2  9-9  10
-------------------------------
Brazil         6 2 3 1  8-4   9
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
Uruguay        6 2 2 2 15-6   8
Venezuela      6 2 1 3  9-10  7
Ecuador        6 1 2 3  7-13  5
Bolivia        6 1 1 4  7-17  4
Peru           6 0 3 3  3-15  3
Bolivia and Peru, IMO, are out of it already. Brazil will surely make it. Paraguay need to get their act back together.

20 June, 18.30, Blida, grp 6: Algeria 1-0 Gambia (important win to keep Algeria in the chase despite two losses. Currently leading the group, a point ahead of Senegal, who have a game in hand.)
20 June, 19.00, Tripoli, grp 5: Libya 4-0 Lesotho (easy win, as is to be expected. Ghana need to beat Gabon to regain top spot.)

Tonight, Canada play St Vincent and the Grenadines, carrying a 3-0 lead from the first leg.

Just wanted to say I'm loving these updates.

Imagine if Brazil fail to get an automatic finals position!!

Can't see it happening as it looks like they've been playing mainly the other good teams so far.

whatever, I went to see Ghana vs Nigeria at Brentford's griffin park a year or so ago, it was huge.

Good to hear :)

Yeah, they're yet to play Bolivia, Venezuela and Chile in the first half of the league. First two should be easy three points, in saying that they dropped points in Peru back in November. But they were in a similar situation back in 2002 (fourth going into the last game with a point on Uruguay) and ended up winning. :p

TBH 5th place is basically an automatic position. Does a training game against the likes of Costa Rica or Jamaicia count as a game these days?

What am goingz on with NZ?
Next game is a double-header with New Caledonia in September. If they get at least two draws or one win from those games, then beat Fiji, they're through.

Apparently they'll play both matches against Fiji away, because the Fijians were turned away due to visa problems back in October.

Overnight results:

Canada 4-1 St Vincent and the Grenadines (7-1 aggregate)
New Caledonia 3-0 Vanuatu

So NZ get 5 points and they're through? Or those exact results must happen.
Yeah, 5 points to the 9 they've already got would make it certain. Could also make do with a loss to Fiji if they beat New Caledonia in one of the games.

Look, we all know NZ is going to win that group anyway :sleep:
