rancer890 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Unfortunate Mikael, but still kudos to you for your run with Iceland Blanco: it's doable definitely. You have a good chance to qualify from that group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

haza555 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Just thought you might like to know i have been quietly been going about my business with the Cape Verdean Islands, 2 draws on the bounce gave Cameroon a 1 point edge but then a stunning performance saw off Cameroon and slipped us into top spot by 2 points. With less than half the games left we have given ourselves a real chance of qualification, and if we keep up this sort of form their is no reason we can't hold Cameroon and march onto the World Cup.
