Exciting World Cup Qualifying

A lot to talk about since the last time I wrote!!

Firstly World Cup Qualifying has been going on and is over for THIS INTERNATIONAL BREAK, but will continue NEXT INTERNATIONAL BREAK. Some of the major headlines where: Jamaica beats U.S. in Kingston, Bulgaria holds Italy to a 2-2 tie, and Columbia shows that they are not that bad.

The United States had to Jamaica in their first of two games against them. Even though the U.S. was on the road and in a tough stadium to play at, they where still the favorites. Dempsey struck first for the U.S. but that would be the only goal for them on the night. Jamaica went on to score two more and they where both on free kicks. The first free kick was just a good kick and it would have been hard for any goalie to save. Tim Howard, the American goaile, probably should have gotten to the second kick. He had stopped many like it before. He did pick up a slight knock earlier in the game which might have contributed to him not making the stop. The United States got revenge in Columbus just a few days later when Hercules Gomez put one past the Jamaican keeper, on a free kick.

For a team that made it to the Euro 2012 Finals, you think Italy could handle Bulgaria prettly nicely, however that was not the case. Bulgaria struck first in the 30th minute. Italy followed with a goal in the 36th and 40th, then Bulgaria got the equalizing goal in the 66th. This will be a very dissapointed result for all Italian teams.

Columbia in South America was not expected to be a very good team, but they have proved people wrong. The went up against one of the hardest teams in the region, Uruguay and ended up beating them 4-0!!! It was a major upset and gave the Columbians lots of momentum going into another tough game in Chile. Columbia handled them nicely with a score of 3-1. Columbia could now be a major challenger for the top spot, but I do not see them getting past Messi and Argentina.

Club football has started up again and the Premier League starts week 4 tomorrow. It should be another excitng week as Aguero returns to action. An upset could be brewing with QPR vs. Chelsea, but with the form Chelsea's on it will be very hard for the Rangers. On Monday there will be a very good matchup with Everton playing Newcastle.

That is it for today thanks for reading!
