Bahrain and Trinidad & Tobago are 0-0 at half-time. Bahrain will go through if it stays like that.

Result from Asia/CONCACAF play-off 2nd leg: BAHRAIN 0-1 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO Aggregate: 1-2 Dennis Lawrence scored the only goal as Trinidad and Tobago qualified for the World Cup for the first time. With the score 0-0 at half-time, it looked like Bahrain were going to qualify, despite not having won a qualifier since March. T&T's win ensures they will be the smallest country at next year's finals.

Switzerland have taken the lead against Turkey, thanks to a first-minute penalty from Alexander Frei. They now lead 3-0 on aggregate, meaning Turkey need to score 4 goals to qualify.

Well Asia will be bolstered in the next World Cup, with Australia switching from Oceania. I think Iran might give a decent account of themselves in Germany. I agree about CONCACAF. 3 places should be enough for them. 4 is stretching it a bit. There could be an argument that CONCACAF should lose half a place and it be given to Oceania but the chances of Oceania getting an automatic place without Australia are very slim... Yeah, especially when you look at the European teams that miss out... Turkey/Switzerland, Greece... they don't get in, but teams like T&T manage it...

Oh, definitely...
Switzerland are now 3-0 up against Turkey on aggregate, with the away goal. Frei scored a penalty in the first minute, so Turkey now need to score four to go through.
Elsewhere, Romania have beaten Nigeria 2-0 in a friendly...

European play-off 2nd leg: TURKEY 4-2 SWITZERLAND Aggregate: 4-4 (Switzerland win on away goals) Tuncay Sanli's hat-trick wasn't enough for Turkey as Switzerland win on away goals and knock out the 2002 semi-finalists. It's Switzerland's first finals appearance since 1994. Turkey lose in the play-offs for the second major tournament in a row.
