Well, happy new year. It’s not only a new year, but a new decade too. A friend reminded me that we both had been around for four decades (80s, 90s, 00s, and now 10s).

I was looking at the qualification tables for the various continental soccer federations and I have to admit that I’m quite surprised at many of the standings. Let’s just say that there are a lot of countries that you’d expect to make it through might not be down in South Africa in 2010.
