Asian World Cup Qualifiers :: Soccerphile However, with one game still to play, a number of traditional Asian powerhouses have still another obstacle to negotiate in order to keep their world cup dreams alive. Few would have thought that the Asian Cup runners-up would be on the brink of elimination at such an early stage but after a 1-0 defeat in Kuwait City in round 5 that is precisely what has happened. The Chinese face an uphill battle to qualify for their second consecutive World Cup and coach Arie Haan's bid to make China an Asian footballing giant rest on his team's ability to score at least two more against Hong Kong than the Kuwaitis manage against Malaysia. www.soccerphile.com /soccerphile/news/korean-soccer/world-cup2006.html   (1003 words)

And while the management of the 24 AFC members who open their 2007 Asian Cup qualifying campaigns are scratching their heads over that decision, they have another quandary to contend with. With Guus having made it clear that the team for the World Cup in Germany is in no way settled, we are setting the scene for a very competitive selection for June. www.soccerphile.com /soccerphile/news/a-league/asian-cup.html   (877 words)

Articles - Football World Cup 1950   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) The 1950 Football World Cup was the only World Cup ever held which was not decided by a knockout final (although the last match of the tournament did end up determining the overall winner, and this match, also known as Maracanazo, is usually referred to as if it had been a final).
