CONCACAF & South American World Cup qualifiing games right now

[Hector]

Must win for both USA and Mexico.

USA is tied 0-0 right now with Trinidad & Tobago.

Mexico plays at 5:30 Pacific time.

In the South America qualifiers...if Chile beats Brazil (Brazil is in already)...they are in as well.

Argentina is kinda in dire straits right now...they face a must win against Paraguay...if the lose...they might be out...that would be quite a shocker.

Many Europeans teams have qualified already...like England and Spain.

Great day for soccer!

U.S. wins, Mexico wins....these teams figure out how to get in no matter what and both control their own destiny.

Argentina loses to Paraguay which I think puts them on the bubble (meaning 4th place). They would have to play the CONCACAF 4th place team with winner going to World Cup and loser going home. I don't expect Argentina to lose to a CONCACAF 4th place team but stranger things have happened.

Brazil is still the best team in the world although I have to admit that England has the best World Cup team that I can remember in my lifetime. They demolished Croatia 5-1 and I think Croatia is ranked in the top 10.

Good day for soccer.

England did play well against Croatia but this Croatia side was a pale shadow of the one a couple of years ago that took them into the top 10, they won't be there for long.

Other big teams in trouble are France and Portugal.

Something that makes no sense to me is the FIFA ranking system.

It seems like it takes years for a team to earn their due respect no matter what they do and other teams with high rankings that don't deserve it.

England should be ranked at least #3....Argentina, France, and Croatia should be out of the top 10 and I'm sorry if everyone wants to say Mexico sucks but they are better than #24.
