Not a great standard but I'd go to watch Samoa v Tahiti in the Solomon Islands over Leeds v Crystal Palace any day.

Oceania 2nd round, Group B: New Zealand made hard work of Fiji, edging to a 1-0 win. Tommy Smith scored the only goal after 8 minutes, when Fijian keeper Simione Tamanisau parried a free-kick into his path. The Solomon Islands also benefited from an early goal, with Benjamin Totori's 5th minute strike enough to give them the points against Papua New Guinea.

Central African Republic have won a World Cup qualifying match for the first time ever, 48 years after joining FIFA. They are now cracking open the champagne in the Pointless office! And against Botswana, who have been a useful side lately. This was only actually their third World Cup qualifying match, having lost over two legs against Zimbabwe in 2002 and then withdrawing from the last two tournaments. They are actually the 9th team to win their first World Cup match in the 2014 tournament, following American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Burma, Mongolia, Philippines, Nicaragua, Cambodia and Lesotho, leaving just 14 current FIFA members who have never won a World Cup match.

African 2nd round, Group D: | 2-0 | |
A big shock in Group D as Sudan beat the new African champions. With Ghana winning 7-0 against Lesotho last night, next weekend's game against the Black Stars already looks like a must-win for Zambia.
