What a shitty week for ALL OF MY TEAMS!!

Notre Dame lost because of a HORRIBLE call by the ref against their arch-nemesis USC on Saturday.

Arsenal lost to West Brom 1-2 on Saturday because they can't keep their team together on away games.

AND WORST OF ALL.....

IRELAND DIDN'T FUCKING QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP!!!

The teams that have quilfied are:

In Europe: Netherlands, Ukraine, Portugal, Frnace, Italy, England, Serbia, Croatia, Poland, & Sweden

In N. America: USA, Mexico, & Costa Rica

In S. America: Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay

In Asia: Saudi Arabia, Korea Republic, Japan, & Iran

In Africa: Togo, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Angola, & Tunisia

Still left to qualify: Czech Rep. vs. Norway (Europe), Turkey vs. Switzerland (Europe), Slovakia vs. Spain (Europe), Trinidad vs. Bahrain (4th N. America vs. 5th Asia), & Uraguay vs. Australia (5th S. America vs 1st Oceanic)
These matches are to take place 11/12/05 & 11/16/05 on Home/Away basis.

And of course the host Germany.

All in all a decent line-up; next summer will be a great World Cup, even without Ireland.
