| 2010 World Cup - South Africa There is only 276 days left until greatest tournament in the world. The FIFA World Cup! This time it will be held in South Africa.

Here are the teams that have qualified so far for the 2010 World Cup: South Africa (Host) Australia Japan South Korea North Korea Netherlands Brazil Teams that will most likely qualify (I guess you could say these are my predictions of who the rest of the teams will be, it will be updated as they qualify or don't qualify): Côte d'Ivoire Ghana Algeria Nigeria Tunisia Saudi Arabia Denmark Switzerland Greece Germany Russia Slovakia Spain England France Italy Serbia Croatia United States Mexico Honduras Chile Paraguay Argentina Columbia Here are the next Qualifying matches: 09 Sept. 2009 Gabon vs. Cameroon Saudi Arabia vs. Bahrain Faroe Islands vs. Lithuania Czech Republic vs. San Marino Malta vs. Sweden Liechtenstein vs. Finland Northern Ireland vs. Slovakia Wales vs. Russia Bosnia Herzegovina vs. Turkey Belarus vs. Ukraine England vs. Croatia Andorra vs. Kazakhstan Albania vs. Denmark Hungary vs. Portugal Slovenia vs. Poland Germany vs. Azerbaijan Romania vs. Austria Israel vs. Luxembourg Armenia vs. Belgium Moldova vs. Greece Latvia vs. Switzerland Spain vs. Estonia El Salvador vs. Costa Rica Trinidad and Tobago vs. United States Mexico vs. Honduras Bolivia vs. Ecuador Uruguay vs. Columbia Paraguay vs. Argentina Venezuela vs. Peru Brazil vs. Chile

| They have a shot. They are in 3rd place in their group and 5 points behind first place. They need to win out the rest of the games and hope that the leaders of the group (Denmark and Hungary) lose out the rest of their games. Very long shot, but not impossible.

| The US will qualify, put up a respectable showing in the preliminaries and then suffer a complete breakdown in round 1 of the playoffs.

| It's really amazing. The Dutch pro's didn't think it necessary this time to wait qualifying until the last match. I can't remember when it was the last time they qualified this early.

| sorry to be the party-pooper but I think it's going to be interesting to see how the SA authorities handle tourist crime, there's going to be alot of foreigners coming to SA who possibly know that it's bad for crime without really comprehending just how bad. I really hope it's a great tournament but I'm not getting sucked in by the Capello hype; I don't think our chances are better than they have been for the last 4 or 5 tournaments. |

| After watching the United States performance in the Confederations Cup some months ago, I hope they make it to the second phase at least. |

| I think Germany has a great chance to win, just looking at them the last few years. Spain is a huge contender also; hard to say! Maybe Argentina vs. Germany in the final! |

My favorite for a final would be a Germany vs. England or a Germany vs. Argentina final.
