World Cup Qualifying

Hi and this week a break in club soccer

All around the world this week and part of next, will be the World Cup qualifying. Qualifying actually started earlier this summer, but the National teams took a break to play club soccer. Some notable matches include the U.S. vs. Jamaica. It should be a pretty close match and will be exciting to watch. I would like to predict the U.S. getting the win, but the game will probably tie 1-1. That match is September 9th, then just two days later on the 11th they play again but this time in the U.S. In that game, since the United States has home field advantage, I think they will win 2-1. In the United States first two qualifying games they won 3-1 and tied 1-1. If they can tie the game at Jamaica and win the game here, they should feel pretty good going into the games in October!

Another good match that will be played is the Czech Republic vs. Denmark. Both the teams did pretty good in the Euro's. Even though Denmark did not make it to the knock out stages in the Euro tournament, they had the hardest group. The Czech Republic made it to the semifinals in the Euro's where they lost to Portugal. Denmark gets home field advantage and Czech Republic's captain is injured so I think Denmark will win this one 2-0.

Wales and Belgium also play against each other. This one should probably be pretty close, but with Fellani and Vermaelen on pretty good form Belgium should win. Both teams have a good offense and Belgium has a little better defense which will hold Wales to just 1 goal and Belgium scoring 3.
