amacpher Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 CONMEBOL: They are mid-way though qualifying. Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador have advanced to the final round. Out of these, the hosts (Colombia) plus 4 others will qualify. Looks like Argentina is back on track after that dreadful performance they had in the 2009 qualifying tournament. AFC: North Korea, South Korea, Australia and Saudi Arabia qualified. CAF: Down to 8 teams, of which 4 will qualify to be determined in late March. CONCACAF: Four qualifiers to be determined in April using the usual retarded qualifying format. UEFA: Already settled: England, Spain, France, Croatia, Portugal, Austria qualified. Continuous football this summer: Gold Cup: June 5-25 Copa America: July 1-24 World Youth Cup: July 29-August 20 All played in convenient time-zone to us.

Saviola7 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Continuous football this summer: Don't forget the WWC (June 26 - July 17) - a tournament that we could actually do well in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Sorry, what exactly is the World Youth Cup? Is it anything like the FIFA U20 World Cup taking place at the same time in the same place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amacpher Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 For some reason I thought FIFA rebranded this tournament the "World Youth Cup". Maybe I just dreamed that. Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amacpher Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 hmmm... The African final round of qualifying is scheduled to take place in Libya next month - Benghazi and Tripoli to be precise. No way in hell is that gonna happen!! I guess it would be moved to one of the other 7 nations that have reached the final stage. Or maybe Lesotho and South Africa (Bloemfontein) can co-host(?). But my money would be on Ghana.
