They had a final minute draw to Israel and a 2-1 loss to Luxembourg in Zurich that brought embarrassment on the team. But the draw back worthy defeat made a wake-up call and the Swiss duly got five wins after against Latvia (2-1), Moldova (2-0 and 2-0) and Greece (2-1 and 2-0). They only lost points again in a 2-2 draw to the Latvians. With revenge victory of 3-0 in Luxembourg and scoreless draw with Israel in Basel sealed top spot in Group 2 Europe and confirmed a spot in South Africa for Frei and company.

The star players of the team are Alexander Frei their undisputed chief on and off the playing field. The Basel striker holds the all time record for goal scoring is his country. He was Hitzfeld’s choice as national team captain. He finished the qualifying games with five goals. That score was equaled by Blaise N’Kufo the striker of Twente Enschede who was first called up by the Swiss in 2000 and has a productive attacking partnership with Frei.

Their coach Ottmar Hitzfeld is Europe’s one of the most successful and highly regarded senior coaches. He is one of only two men to lead two different clubs to UEFA Champions League namely Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

He started being Switzerland head coach on 1 July 2008 and after a slow start, guided his squad to a direct qualifying match for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Watch the World Cup 2010 Switzerland vs. Honduras, it promises to be a great game.

Nadir Belhadj’s World Cup 2010 involvement in Question. This is a very bad news from Portsmouth, Pompey. Belhadj, who joined Pompey from Lens in 2008, has not played starter in a league game since September and may leave Fratton Park in January. Narid is worried about his current lack of first-team chances will affect his probability of taking part in Algeria’s squad for next summer’s World Cup Finals. But, Grant said the 27-year-old Narid has said nothing about wanting to leave, after he substituted Paul Hart as manager on the South Coast. Grant stated that he does not mind what players are stated to have said, and is not bothered by the comments of Belhadj’. I have not commented about what the papers say, all my life, but I speak to my players, this is what he said to the Portsmouth News. I always speak to the players and he has not said anything to me. This is what I have been doing since the day I arrived here and will continue to do it. He hopes Nadir can frequently play or get a new club in January. It would be a pity if he will not be a member of the Algerian squad next summer.

Certainly, all the teams will be hoping for a solid win in the opening match. The Americans will bring their optimistic fan base in the game. There is no doubt that the winner of this match will certainly advance out of the opening “Round of 3″ from Group C.

From a logical viewpoint, the USA drew 3 opening round site is within a 2 hour drive of each other. This will relieve the team from the travel time that South Africa presented. The team will be basing in Pretoria and will take day trips to the other matches. A good question is that how did France draw itself into the easiest group of all? If USA will advance, it would be likely that Germany could be the first play off opponent. So watch the World Cup 2010 USA vs. Algeria match and see if they could enter the nest round.

Greece will play against Argentina on 22/06 20:30 in Polokwane

First a backgrounder of their humble beginnings. A surprise was made by Switzerland in Group 2. The Schweizer Nati finished ahead of Greece and brag about a generation of players that is reaching maturity and the recently winners, U-17 world champions just waiting in the sideline. 2004 European champions Greece got their spot due to a slim play-off win against Ukraine (0-0, 1-0), who was unable to give Andriy Shevchenko his last FIFA World Cup.

Greek Theofanis Gekas, 29, is a qualifying top scorer with 10 goals, even with Angelos Charisteas being another Greek candidate for the position. Wolfsburg’s forward Edin Dzeko also showed good form with nine times in the campaign.

The team is a hard nut to break under Otto Rehhagel. The 2004 European champions return to world football’s top table for the first time since they started in 1994. With a solid front and back positions, King Otto’s well oiled charges will be unwavering to keep away from what happened in the American adventure, which got them three straight losses. The Greek camp should be more confident after they edged out 2006 quarter-finalists Ukraine for the European Zone play offs.

Argentina dragged themselves over the limit at the end of a crusade that produced more questions than answers. National idol Diego Maradona took over the coaching duties from Alfio Basile on Match day 11, which endured several buffeting blows, with a disastrous 6-1 defeat in Bolivia and a 3-1 win at home against arch rival Brazil. Yet, just when it was like green and go, it looked like they might slip out, La Albiceleste came up with a last minute winner versus Peru and then recorded a win at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo to make certain of their position. That loss was not very damaging for Uruguay who won over Costa Rica after being dispatch to the play-offs for the third straight time.

Argentina coach Diego Maradona said from the bottom of his heart, he will dedicate their qualification to the people of Argentina and to them alone, the people who believed in him. There are also some sections of people who don’t deserve it and they know who they are. He recalls those things that some people who didn’t believe in the team and his leadership, those who treated him like rubbish. Now all he has to say is that they are in the World Cup and they intend to give it everything they’ve got to win. With Argentina on the war path, this World Cup 2010 Greece vs. Argentina will be a very classic match up.

His original place in the starting lineup has been given to Servat while with Ouedraogo on the injury list. Harinordoquy joins Dusautoir and Picamoles in a great deep bench. Clerc and his Toulouse teammate Heymans are on the wings for France while Scrumhalf Dupuy is named ahead of Morgan Parra.

France have made minor changes in their players forces from the side who arrived earlier in the year and gave the team a fast win, one test and losing the second. But still this was enough to win the Series and that has given them good spirits entering this match. They played so well down here and we will know that more of the same type of play will yield results against any team including the Mighty Springboks. France will look to try and run this game through their forwards but that will not be easy against this Boks pack. So the French must use their intellectual know how to get a good result. Looking at this French side and you will see some real class in it and if they start to fire up they will be very hard to contain.

Peter De Villiers the Springbok coach five forwards and two backs on his bench which will show the teams intention of what kind of plays they will do in this match and surprisingly the French team is fired up in the same place. The South Africa’s forwards, starting line-up has four changes from the XV that did play in the Boks’ final Tri-Nations match versus the All Blacks in September.

The starting line-up show off a total of 588 Test caps among them selves, while the bench boys add 180 more to that figure.

World Cup 2010 Netherlands vs. Japan. After a lot of goals in 2009, the debate on whether Japan creates goals against organized defenses has emerged again. The Asian Champions for three-times hardly ever appear doing so and the play lacked indecisiveness and importance.

Coach Takeshi Okada is supposed to thank his goalkeeper for putting a stop to what would have been a catastrophic evening that would in actual fact have gotten the Tokyo press pack in a panic.

Shinji Ono, the AFC Player of the Year 2002 spent two years in Germany but was not able to play much football in his first-team with Bochum because of injury. Now he is determined to play once more for Japan, after winning last August 2008, his last cap.

Ono said that he is hopeful for a recall to the Japan team for this year’s FIFA World Cup™ after coming back to the J-League to play for Shimizu S-Pulse.

Kenta Hasegawa the coach of Shimizu said that he has a large number of experiences. Certainly, the teams target is to get the title. They will take the challenge with a fresh spirit of being a beginner. He was able to finished seventh for the season, in the J-League.

Five Key Players of The Netherlands’

Feyenoord’s Giovanni van Bronckhorst. He is the Dutch national team’s captain. He is a definite player for South Africa. His weakness is against right-wingers, but he will keep his on-field leadership and this will take his team to the World Cup. He has been a player of Arsenal, Rangers, and Barcelona.

Hamburger SV, Joris Mathijsen. He is a real central defender so his position in the team is secure. He has received a lot of criticism since his national team debut, but he is one of the pillars. In the Netherlands, the doubters were convinced that he is one of the team’s best central defenders.

Mark van Bommel. He played in Bayern Munich but deferred to play under Basten after the World Cup in 2006, but not he is back with Bert van Marwijk. Since returning to the national team, his performances are stable and he will be in South Africa.

Liverpool’s Dirk Kuyt. He is also an all around player that makes him useful for the team. He plays a lot at Liverpool which is important for the team. His contributions for the team are positive, so he is assured of a spot.

Arsenal’s Robin van Persie. At present he is the best Dutch player. He should recover in time from his injury, so he will definitely be playing. A resourceful forward, he should be part of the first stringers. The people of Netherlands are eager of his return. Don’t forget to watch this exiting World Cup 2010 Netherlands vs. Japan.

Venue: Rustenburg

Ghana had a breeze on its way into the qualifiers, moving ahead through the competition without many problems on the way to sealing a second consecutive World Cup 2010 berth. The Black Stars fought through the fire with Gabon and Libya in round two of the African qualifiers. All three teams tied up for top spot in their group with 12 points, but Ghana took the lead by virtue of its goal difference ratio. The final round was easier for Ghana, it beat out Benin, Mali and Sudan to win its group with ease and confirm a World Cup spot with two more games to go. Their key to qualification is a strong defense. The Ghanaians certainly can defend. This is something they proved in the qualifiers when they just let six goals in 11 games.

John Mensah is a defender who is most unheralded in the game today and he help make Ghana a defensive force. The result is a 2-0 win over Sudan last 6 September 2009 in Accra that managed to clinch a World Cup spot for Ghana. But it was a vital 2-0 road victory versus Mali on 7 June 2009 in Bamako that put the Black Stars in control of the group they are in and sent them to the path of qualification. Their star players are Sulley Muntari and Michael Essien who get most of the attention, but Eric Addo lends courage to the team as a physical defensive midfielder, who also play centre back position. Their potential problem is the need for more offensive production from its forwards and attacking midfielders. The Black Stars got 20 goals in 12 qualifying games. At the end, they need more score.

Australia was the leading force in the Asian qualifiers; they won nine out of winning nine and losing two out of 14 games, leaving their opponents by the tune of 19-4 margin along the way. The Socceroos opened the gates, making an impressive 3-0 victory over Qatar in its first game of the third round of the qualifiers on its way to first place in a difficult group that is also known as the Group of Death that also included China and Iraq. The final qualifying round proved to be very easy, as the Socceroos did not loose any game, six wins and two draws. Their key to qualification is also defense. Australia gave just one goal in the final qualifying round, thanks mainly to the outstanding form of Mark Schwarzer the goalkeeper and a sturdy back line headed by Lucas Neill an Everton centre back. Their star player is Schwarzer who played the entire eight matches in the final round of the Asian qualifiers that allowed only one goal against Japan 2-1, in Australia’s final game. This World Cup 2010 Ghana vs. Australia is a cliff hanger.

FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa is clearly one of the greatest events of 2010. It is the 19th FIFA World Cup, a competition organized every four years, where 32 nations will try to win the trophy.
