It's easy to qualify when you play in a group like that. At least Germany has Russia to compete against, who can field a good team.

You're just jealous that we're ranked #3 in the world and you're ranked #4. AND we're 200 entire points ahead of you.

I'm very jealous Sometimes. I'm hoping my team (Scotland) can actually get it together and win the next couple of games.

No need to remind me. Hope is just about lost. We need to win out and hope for everything else to fall into place

Re: NEXT WC QUALIFIER

Robbie Findley called up to National Team for next two WCQ matches. He will be playing at home.

Findley is a cousin of NBA point guard Mike Bibby of the Atlanta Hawks and NFL wide receiver Shaun McDonald of the Detroit Lions. His family is from T&T so that match should also be emotional for him.

When U.S. national team coach Bob Bradley revealed his roster for this coming weekend's crucial World Cup qualifier against El Salvador, some observers were quicker to notice a pair of omissions than any of the names actually on the list.

No Jermaine Jones? No Edgar Castillo? When, many wondered, will Bradley call in the two newest additions to the American player pool?

While only Bradley himself will be able to answer that question in the long run, for the time being, the coach's hands are tied. As he was choosing his team for the El Salvador game and the match with Trinidad and Tobago four days later, Jones and Castillo were still ineligible to play for the United States.

Both dual-nationals announced they would switch their international soccer allegiance to the U.S. after a FIFA ruling in June opened that door for players of any age not cap-tied at the full international level. But FIFA still must approve each change. The paperwork of both Jones and Castillo is still sitting on some bureaucrat's desk in Switzerland. Exactly when either might be given the stamp of approval is anyone's guess.
