still Championships in soccer around the globe: in fact the ball went over the weekend in qualifying at the World Cup South Africa 2010. From Europe to Asia, Africa, South America, Oceania-North America, a whole planet is finite - it is appropriate to say - in the flask. This is not always a good thing. As has happened in Abidjan, capital of Côte d'Ivoire. A script already seen the crowd that wants to enter without a ticket to watch the game between the hosts and Malawi (5-0), the crowd, the police charged, the general hysteria: 22 dead and 132 wounded. Elsewhere madness is only football. As in Argentina. Maradona La Seleccion license plate sputtering 4-0 Venezuela, and celebration. Party for Lionel Messi, author of the first goal and the usual slew of spells: party for Carlos Tevez, who knows the joys of knitting biancoceleste Ferguson denies him at Manchester United, Sergio Aguero party, which is in the field with his son, born just that - coincidentally - is also the nephew of Maradona. Far from home
climate in Brazil, Kakà impacts of orphan 1-1 against Ecuador. The ranking of the single South American group says 23 Paraguay, Argentina and Chile 19, Brazil 18. One point behind and between Seleccion Seleçao. Maybe there is not much difference from the mathematical point of view, but football - especially the South American nation - is made up mostly of moods, feelings, and irrationality. And if the sun shines in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro is dark, the controversy between the coach Dunga, the usual fuss Adriano and the absence of Kaka.
And we get to Europe. Among certainties, surprises and disappointments. We start from the first. First, Spain (group 5), five wins out of five, the last 1-0 over Turkey. Then Germany (4), 13 points in five games, 4-0 to Liechtenstein. England (6), stop at the weekend but at the head of their group with 12 points, full loot in four games. The Netherlands (9), the digits of England, 3-0 to Scotland. And of course Italy, but for which you speak with an abundance elsewhere.
But there is another Europe behind the big, he plays football and knows occasionally surprising. For example, Hungary, first in group 1 to equal points with Denmark and privateer in Albania with a score of 1-0. And most of Northern Ireland. What is known about this small, turbulent Appendix Anglo-Saxon in Ireland if that is the birthplace of George Best and it is divided between Catholics and Protestants, who are competing for decades the best brand of Christianity? Error, the Ulster is not only past but also present: Poland 3-2 to top Group 3 and 10 points.
Large disappointed (and unsafe). Portugal and Sweden were to dominate the scene and instead their path is uncertain and faltering. So much so that to dictate the pace in Group 1 are Denmark and Hungary, to 10 points. Lusitania and Sweden have found themselves facing each other. A good opportunity to sweep away all doubts and raised on high, while putting the rival ko. But the big break has resulted in a dull 0-0 that does nothing but food controversy and regrets.
Chiosa final with France, at the feet of Monsieur Franck Ribery. Against Lithuania needed a victory, and victory was thanks to net the player of Bayern Monaco, more and more men these Bleus team still without an identity. The bench coach Raymond Domenech was invisible at risk, Ribery gave a shake of the bolt. But the situation remains complicated: third in group 7, with seven points, behind Serbia (12) and Lithuania (9). But with a game in hand.
