Don't you just want to wrap your arms around Togo and give 'em all a hug?
I'm shocked that Uruguay couldn't close out Australia. Of course, I may still be burning about the Aussie incident 4-5 years ago when they (approximately, per faulty memory) denied entry to the Western Samoan full nationals, leaving the Samoans to send over their U-16 side that Australia dumped 33 goals on in one game.
I'm glad that Bahrain and their seeming death-defiance is gone (TRANSLATION- a Bahrani takes a spill, then it takes about 5 minutes for the magic spray to be applied before the player is ushered off the field, yet comes back to life 3 seconds after reaching the touchline... I was warned about this during the '02 cycle, so to watch it in action against T&T was, um, scintillating).
That means HOORAY Trinidad & Tobago. Former Portland Timber Brent Sancho may very well get some World Cup love! Plus it shows that FIFA was giving too much love to Asia and not enough to CONCACAF.
Oh, the Turks got what they deserved, too. Of course, that opens up all sorts of cans of worms with Swiss running all over Germany, but I digress.
