Less than a year for the annual appointment of South Africa, some selections tremble thinking they can lose that, without doubt, be the sporting event of 2010. The stars lining the major leagues in the world still have to sweat a lot to get to the event next summer. Among this bunch of teams that can stay out of the World include Portugal and Argentina.
In the Lusos, its main star is Ronaldo, who after his move to Real has fulfilled a dream but can start living a nightmare: stay out of the most important meeting next year. Ibrahimovic's goal against Sweden leaves them virtually out. A selection, the Swede, who has not secured a ticket. In Argentina, would be the selection that most would miss. His loss to Brazil means that, even though they are fourth in their group, to stay out unless they get the win against Paraguay. Many are the stars that can fall by the wayside. Messi, Agüero, Maxi ... are few. Other selections also are assured of their classification.
The France of Benzema, Henry and Ribery after their draw against Romania, diverges from the first since Serbia occupies a group that no longer depends on itself. Things do not paint or well for Germany, which will be played to Russia direct pass. Metzelder, now enhanced in Madrid, could miss the appointment of South Africa. Cameroon and Mali will still have to sweat their classification. Eto'o's team beat Gabon, leader of his group and still has hopes of qualifying. Meanwhile, another Spanish representation selection, Mali, also in the air classification. Kanoute and Diarra are still pending a pass.
