Dicky Hastings in line for 50

Canadian pundits are now writing off Canada for the 2010 WC !!! A home draw to Jamaica and a home loss to Honduras leaves their hopes hanging by a thread. None of the Canadian players covered themselves in glory in this game and the higher ranked Honduras team looked hungrier

The qualifying over here works like this. There has already been 2 rounds of qualification with 35 teams whittled down to just 12. The remaining 12 are in 3 groups of 4 and the top 2 teams in each group qualify for the final round-robin group. The top 3 in that final group qualify for the WC. The 4th team in the final group goes to a playoff with the 5th placed team in the South American qualifiers. (South America has 4.5 places and North and Central America has 3.5)
