world cup qualifiers 2010

hi to everyone..today its an important match for Maradona's Argentina as they face a crucial match away vs Uruguay..a draw will be enough for the Argentinian's for a place in the world cup while Uruguay have to win the match for an automatic qualifying berth..Ecuador is another team in contention for the last automatic qualifying berth..they have to beat Chile away by a margin of atleast 5 goals n hope that Argentina n  Uruguay play out a draw..if they win they may have a chance of getting into the playoff's..Argentina look the best of the three but Maradona's stupid tactics may cost them dearly like when he benched star striker Tevez n brought in a guy who hadn't played internationals for 10 years vs Peru..it didn't cost them against Peru but Uruguay are a lot better team than Peru..so he better be careful..
In other important fixtures the Portuguese without Ronaldo will play against minnows Malta   for a place in the playoffs..Greece too hopes to enter playoffs with a win over Luxembourg although they can secure automatic spot if table toppers lose to minnows Israel..Costa Rica take on Us and their nearest rivals for the automatic spot Honduras take on El Salvador in the last match of the qualifiers..
The teams that have already qualified are-
Asia-Australia ,Japan,South Korea n North Korea.
Africa-Ivory Coast,Ghana n South Africa
South America -Brazil ,Paraguay ,Chile
North America-U.S,Mexico
Europe-Denmark,Spain ,Germany,England,Italy,Serbia ,Netherlands
Play-offs:New Zealand vs Bahrain,
Russia,France,Republic of Ireland,Bosnia n Herzegovina
