2010 FIFA World in South Africa is fast approaching. And we have just reached the end of the qualifying and playoff games in all parts of the world. Who’s in?

Europe (13)

Who do we miss? The big guns are there except for Russia and Ukraine. France barely made it. Thanks to Henry for the handball! Spain and England are, I think, the best of this group. But France, Germany and Italy, are known to surprise everyone when it comes to the World Cup.

Watch Chelsea vs Manchester United live as they clash today at the Stamford Bridge. This is a battle between two of the top teams of the 2009/2010 English Premier League. Fans worldwide will surely be watching this match. Both teams won the EPL trophy in the last five years.

Can Manchester United match Chelsea in terms of firepower tonight? Without Ronaldo, the Red Devils is a different team. There is Rooney alright. But he wasn’t that effective against Liverpool. Sir Alex Ferguson may have to look for other options, Valencia or Berbatov perhaps.

UFC 104 Results: Lyoto Machida beats Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. Watching from the video replays, the 48-47 decision victory for the Champ is surely a very controversial one. The match lasted 5 full rounds and viewers can clearly see a battered Machida. Sports scribes also disagrees with the official decision.

Manchester United vs Liverpool at the English Premier League today. Venue is at Anfield. Everybody should watch this biggest derby in English football. The two are the top clubs in England, whose rivalry goes beyond football.

Manchester United may be without Rooney. But Ferguson named him in the firsts eleven along with Ryan Giggs who also recovered.

Liverpool is depleted of its stars too. Good thing that Torres is back but Gerrard is missing again. The bench is not as deep as that of Chelsea, and four consecutive losses it already a downer. What would be Rafa Benitez’ answer to Sir Alex Ferguson’s game plan today?
