Qualification for WC2010 began to draw to a close on Wednesday. With some heartbreak, some happiness (see: Maradona) and not too many surprises. Here's a summary of the results:
In Europe, Denmark, Switzerland, Slovakia join the other group winners with guaranteed bids for WC2010.
Portugal, Greece, Slovenia, Russia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ukraine, France, and the Republic of Ireland each secured second-place in their respective groups. These eight teams will meet in a two-leg tie on November 14 and 18 to determine which four sides will advance to the Finals.
In CONEMBOL, Argentina's late winner pushed them into fourth place, securing the last automatic qualification spot. Their opponents, Uruguay, must now face CONCACAF's fourth place team, Costa Rica, in a play-off to determine the last team going to South Africa.
