World Cup Qualifiers


Sometimes you've got to wonder, if its worth playing when time after time you get thrashed by heavy weights like England. That thought must be running through every Andorran's mind when they watch their team get mauled by England 6 goals to nil. The Andorrans were long gone and buried by the first half with 3 goals - 2 from Rooney and 1 from Lampard. Second half goals from Jermain Defoe (2) and Peter Crouch (1) were just formalities in completing the rout.

Funny story elsewhere - New Zealand nearly defeated Italy in a friendly - hahaha. From the makers of Fern Leaf milk and butter - they very nearly whacked the complacent world champions, but eventually succumbed to a 3-4 defeat.


New Zealand's team looks good too - continuing their tradition wearing all black. 

Elsewhere - What is happening to Argentina? Stars like Messi, Tevez and Heinze failed to lift their side as they slumped to their second defeat in a row after losing 6-1 to Bolivia in April.
Ecuador scored twice late in the second half to whack Argentina 2-0. A case of unable to play well in high altitude?
