Countdown to December 4

So, that's done. All the qualifiers for next year's world cup are done and dusted. It's now all eyes on the draw in Cape Town on December 4.

The last games were nailbiting. The war of northern Africa between Algeria and Egypt was fought out in the desert of Khartoum and won by Algeria: 1-0. So the almighty African champs of Cairo wont come down to South Africa. The Sudanese government had put 400 doctors on alert last night in case the fans would go nuts.

And European giants Russia will also not come south. They lost 1-0 to and in tiny Slovenia. That hurts! France just made it against Ireland. I mean, just! And the world's most expensive player, Ronaldo, will be here as Portugal got through. Amazing come back because some months ago they looked set to stay home.

So now just Bafana Bafana needs to get the exact GPS coordinates to find the goal. The real countdown has begun....
