FT Uruguay 0:3 Venezuela

:eek: What the ...?!?!

Venezuela in an automatic qualifying spot at the moment!!!!!! This after winning about two away qualifying games in their history before this campaign!

Maldives 0-0 South Korea is quite impressive too!

[pete]

Maldives 0-0 South Korea is quite impressive too!

Are you sure its South as opposed to North Korea?

Either way seems like stunning improvement from team that lost to Iran 17-0 or something in recent years?

[Schumi]

Are you sure its South as opposed to North Korea?Looks like South. Korea DPR (Democratic People's Republic, i.e. Communist; Notrth Korea) drew 0-0 with UAE.
