Almost Set

So spots in South Africa next summer are almost all full. There are 8 left. 2 in Africa that I have no idea/opinion about. New Zealand-Bahrain already played their first leg and I can't really say who is a better team. I believe Uruguay will beat Costa Rica with relative ease over two legs next month. And today UEFA released the match ups for the remaining 4 European spots at the World Cup. Russia has to be a heavy favorite over Slovenia. Portugal take on Bosnia (wink, wink) and would have to beat themselves to not qualify. Greece and Ukraine may be competitive but I admit to know little about either national team. France should cruise past Ireland but for some reason I think this one will be very tight and an upset is possible.

I love the World Cup and now that Argentina have their spot secure I am relaxed and looking forward to South Africa. The play-offs next month and the group drawing shortly thereafter... here we go.
