Did anyone else see the crazy goal Ethiopia just scored on Nigeria?

The cross where the goalie took it over the line?

Yeah. It was definitely one of the strangest goals I've seen. The celebration didn't ensue until about five seconds after the ball crossed the line.

Denmark vs. Malta has the potential to be one of the biggest blowouts we've seen in a long time. Not only is Malta terrible and the game being played in Copenhagen, but Denmark needs to win AND make up a :censored: -ton of goal differential in order to make secure a second round spot.

So, UEFA shapes up as follows...

Belgium, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Russia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina are through to the World Cup Finals in Brazil.

England will qualify by bettering or matching Ukraine's result tonight while Spain will qualify unless they lose to Georgia.

Sweden, Greece, and Portugal have qualified for the play-off. Croatia will qualify unless Denmark blows its 4-goal lead to Malta. For their part, Denmark (or whoever else finishes second in Group B ) will miss out unless Romania lose from a winning position against Estonia. Romania stand to qualify for the play-off unless Turkey (who trail Holland 2-0 at the moment) match their result. Iceland stands to qualify for the play-off unless Slovenia betters their result—the Slovenes would qualify in that case. France will qualify for the playoff unless they win and Spain lose (in which case Spain would go to the play-off) while the Ukraine will be in the play-off unless they better England's result or lose to San Marino.

Ukraine are 2-0 up already, so as expected we've no other option than to win tonight if we're to avoid being knocked out in the play-off.

It's now official.

Belgium, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Russia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, England, and Spain can book their flights to Brazil.

Croatia, Denmark, Sweden, Romania, Iceland, Portugal, Greece, Ukraine, and France advance to the second round and will compete for four spots.

Personally, I hope Iceland and Romania make it over the same old boring Croatia and Greece teams.

Also, there are so many awesome possibilities for Icelandic World Cup kits.

I'm glad that Belgium made it, and good for England Bosnia & Herzegovina for making it in (:P)

I'm personally hoping for Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, and Ukraine to make it in, although it'll probably be Croatia, Denmark, Portugal and France.

Looks like the Netherlands and Italy will be tied in the FIFA rankings for seventh place. HUGE decision will have to be made over who gets the spot in Pot 1 for the World Cup draw. Anyone have any idea how they can decide this fairly?

73, 77, 81, 83, 90, 06

29, 30, 31, 36, 39, 44, 61, 62, 65, 66, 67, 96, 10

Nevermind, Switzerland somehow snuck into 7th place. The Dutch and Italians are tied for 8th. If Uruguay doesn't qualify, the Netherlands will snag the last spot in pot 1 due to a high decimal place over Italy.
