In a week’s time we will know a near complete list of the nations who will be competing to lift the World Cup in South Africa. The first legs take place on November 14, with the second legs on the 18th. The African nations qualification process takes a little longer, so I’ll be focusing on the Republic of Ireland Vs France, Bosnia-Herz Vs Portugal, Russia Vs Slovenia and Greece Vs Ukraine. Before kicking off I will say I thought it was extremely harsh and a little underhand of the ruling bodies to decide to seed the teams at such a late stage. This guaranteed that France, Portugal and Russia would not meet each other and would therfore stand a better chance of qualification.

If English giants and 2005 winners Liverpool lose to Lyon in France on Wednesday night their Champions League dreams could be all but over. Should Fiorentina beat Hungarian outfit Debrecen (a very likely occurrence) Liverpool will be six points adrift with just two games left.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been picking out the biggest derby fixtures from around the Premier League and elsewhere for my soccerondish articles. This weekend two of London’s biggest clubs, and indeed historically London’s biggest clubs before Roman Abramovic started the Chelsea revolution, meet in what is always massive fixture. Needless to say, in footballing terms Spurs fans and Arsenal fans aren’t the best of friends and local bragging rights are important to both. Over the last few years (well a lot longer in all fairness) Arsenal have been the stronger team by quite a way but there is a feeling around White Hart Lane that all that could change this season.

It may still only be October but should Liverpool lose to Manchester United on Sunday their title challenge will effectively be over. They’ve already lost four times in the league this season and boss Rafael Benitez’s woes continued in midweek when French outfit Lyon pulled off a surprise 2-1 victory at Anfield. That result has left Benitez needing victory in their next Champions League game to stand any chance of reaching the knock-out rounds, while he also has the tricky task of United’s visit on Sunday.
To make matters worse for the home side it looks very likely they’ll be without captain and talisman Steven Gerrard. The talented midfielder is suffering with an injury and looks highly-doubtful to take part, although Spanish striker Fernando Torres should be available for selection after missing the defeat to Lyon in midweek. Make no mistake, if Liverpool lose this fixture or only secure a point it will be catastrophic for the Merseysiders and their title hunt may well be over.

There are just two rounds of qualifying left in the European World Cup qualifying groups and there has been some mixed news for all the sides still with a chance of making the tournament in South Africa from Fifa this week. The ruling body have announced that the teams who finish second in their Euro qualifying groups will be seeded before their play-off match. For the Republic of Ireland this will come as a massive blow, should the hold on to second spot they will face one of the higher ranked teams in the Fifa rankings, such as France, rather than a draw which may have thrown up a much more beatable team.
