Italy has never qualified before for World Cup with 2 fixtures to play

I guess that means they're peaking too soon

i think it says more about the (lack of) quality in their group ... it was a classic Italian qualifying campaign ... never do more than you have to lol

No kidding - Just like every World Cup tourney, they do the bare minumum to squeak by the knockout stage and then they flip the switch.

When it's the entire national team's first goal in 5+ years, I'm OK with a little bit of excessive celebration.

As long as they don't Yak it up, I'm fine with it...

Hahaha....amazing. SIAP:

Morten Olsen has apologised after likening Denmark’s 4-0 World Cup qualifying defeat against Armenia to 9/11.

He said: “For us Danes I think that if you are in or around the team, this game in June is a blemish that needs to be washed away. Perhaps it’s a bit rough to compare, but in terms of football, it was our September 11.”

Denmark coach Morten Olsen sorry for 9/11 comment - ESPN FC

Forty three - how come you're not at the game - huge party about to go down there

Mexico made the basketball World Cup; May not make the soccer World Cup. Makes sense.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

One of Panama, Mexico and Jamaica will finish 4th in Concacaf and play New Zealand. Through 8 GP, Panama & Mexico have 1 win, Jamaica 0.

I guess the Canadian basketball team read too many press clippings and forgot to show up for the tourney. Pretty disappointing considering the hype.

So, I'm new to all this. Is there a reason why Canada, besides being bad, isn't in world cup qualifying?

micro answer: they got their asses kicked in an earlier qualifying round and didnt make the hex

macro answer: they dont have their OWN domestic league and you cant develop players without one
