: the point on Africa, Senegal and Angola eliminated
now it seems that all my "return" must begin with a justification of my long absence. Well, not this time. I'm working on an important project, but I will not go, for now. Then you'll understand why. Meanwhile, this is the situation of Africa, from Gazzetta.it ( Filippo Maria Ricci ):
Among surprises, drama, excitement and violence has closed the first of two phases of the first African qualifying World continent. The teams were reduced from 36 to 20, and already two of the five African participants at the 2006 German World Cup have not passed this primo taglio: il Senegal, che nel 2002 arrivò fino ai quarti di finale in Giappone e Corea, e l'Angola, che organizzerà la prossima coppa d'Africa, sono già fuori. Così come sarebbe rimasto fuori il Sud Africa, che ha chiuso al secondo posto il suo girone non riuscendo a qualificarsi nemmeno per la coppa d'Africa del 2010 ma che ovviamente sarà in campo nel "suo" mondiale in qualità di Paese organizzatore ( nella foto, il ct Joel Santana ).
SISTEMA COMPLESSO - Il sistema adottato per determinare il passaggio del turno era complicato: qualificate di diritto le prime dei 12 gironi, per stilare la classifica delle migliori 8 seconde che le avrebbero accompagnate it was necessary to arm themselves with the calculator: two of the 12 groups the way they lost a team from 4 to 3 national. So the runners-up of groups of 4 have been removed in the number of points with the fourth of their group to be equivalent to those of the groups maimed. For this reason, for example, Mozambique has passed that ended with 8 points and Angola and Uganda who had made 10.
THE QUALIFIED - These are the 20 teams in the draw on October 22 in Zurich will be divided into five groups: the first in 2010 and will go to the World Cup in Africa, second and third only to the continental competition. Just in 5 will remain empty-handed. There are the big boys such as Egypt, Cameroon, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire Ghana, Tunisia and Morocco, teams of middle range such as Mali, Zambia, Guinea, Algeria, Togo and Burkina Faso, and quite a number of surprises: Benin, Kenya, Gabon, Rwanda, Sudan, Malawi, Mozambique. Nigeria is the only one of 36 to have won all 6 games played.
the verdicts last round - A meager 1-0 away against neighbors in Gaborone in Botswana allowed to go to Mozambique, after 24 hours of anxious waiting to find out the final standings of the second. The network is crucial to Genito Bila, a defensive midfielder in the fifth season with the Budapest Honved. Morocco had to win and beat Mauritania 4-1 with goals from Youssef Hadji (Nancy) and networks and Zemmama Safri (both committed in Medio Oriente). A Bamako il Mali ha avuto ragione del Ciad solo nel finale, quando Tenema Ndiaye (Tours, serie B francese) ha segnato il 2-1: nello stesso girone il Sudan ha scavalcato al secondo posto il Congo grazie al 2-0 di Omdurman (di Tahir e Faysal Agab le reti). Grande partita al Kamuzu Stadium di Blantyre: il Malawi ospitava la Repubblica Democratica del Congo in uno scontro decisivo per il passaggio del turno: congolesi avanti con LuaLua ma eliminati dalla rimonta del Malawi a segno due volte negli ultimi 10 minuti con il nuovo eroe nazionale Mwafulirwa (da luglio in Svezia, al Norkopping): le Fiamme continuano a bruciare passando il turno in un girone dove c'era anche l'Egitto. Decisiva anche la sconfitta per 3-1 di Capo Verde in Tanzania, già Deleted: 9 points were not enough for the islanders to move forward. The beat Guinea 3-2 Kenya and was aided by the defeat of Zimbabwe in Namibia, Zimbabwe, 4-2 after the first 5 days he had collected only two goals. Please sign in Guinea Bangoura (Dynamo Kiev), Keita (Mallorca) and Zayatte (Hull). In Group 5 three teams have 12 points to close pairs: in front of goal difference puts Ghana, Gabon and the Alain Giresse with 1-0 on Libya which was enough to pass as one of the first and rather surprisingly remained outside . The decisive goal of the Panthers of Gabon has come thanks to the "usual" Bruno Mbanagoye, tip of Dinamo Minsk in Belarus.
VIOLENCE - Violent protests and serious accidents in Dakar after the 1-1 in Senegal and Gambia. The Lions of Teranga even close in the third round, behind Algeria (only one point more dangerous after the 0-0 with Liberia) and Gambia (paired in second place and qualified as Senegal). A win would have propelled the head of the group in Senegal at the second stage, but at 87 'the Gambian Tijan Jaiteh (Brann Bergen, Norway) drew the network of the Senegalese Kader Mangan (Rennes). The result has sparked the ire of the crowd, with offices, fire and prolonged violence inside and outside the stadium. Otherwise the source of unrest in Sekondi, for the first time in history the city hosted the Ghanaian Black Stars and the arrival of national enthusiasm generated uncontrollable. Smashed gates, running in place with fans overwhelmed and trampled upon, stadium filled beyond capacity limits. Local media had spoken of two deaths but the news was denied.
Adebayor and DOUBLE - Friday, Emmanuel Adebayor said he would not play against Swaziland in protest at the poor logistics improvised by his federation: Neutral on Saturday in Accra, Ghana, the Arsenal striker has taken the field and has 4 goals in the 6-0 final, which earned him second place and qualification to the Sparrow Hawks. Eto'o double for Meyong Ze (Sporting Braga) in Cameroon's 5-1 to Mauritius, and dell'ivoriano Sanogo (Werder Brema) nel 3-0 al Madagascar. Con Drogba infortunato davanti per gli Elefanti hanno giocato anche Baky Kone (Marsilglia) e Salomon Kalou (Chelsea) che ha segnato la terza rete. Due gol per Moumouni Dagano, capocannoniere della zona africana con 7 centri in 6 gare: il centravanti che ora gioca in Qatar (all'Al-Khor) ha contribuito al 3-1 del Burkina Faso sul Burundi che ha permesso agli Stalloni di confermare il primo posto del girone davanti alla più quotata Tunisia.
GOL ITALIANI E INFORTUNI - L'interista Sulley Muntari ha segnato la rete di apertura di Ghana-Lesotho (3-0 finale con reti di Junior Agogo e Matthew Amoah), mentre nel 4-1 della Nigeria alla Sierra Leone gol iniziale dell'udinese Chris Obodo e rete del 2-1 dell'interista Victor Obinna. To verify the conditions of the Mali Kanoute and Diarra, back injuries in Spain: the midfielder mainly concerned: Madrid is expected Saturday for the derby at the Calderon.
