Unofficial Football World Championships

 

You can read about the UWFC here: http://www.ufwc.co.uk/about/

 

Match tonight is to commemorate 200 years of Argentinian independence. Spain have won their two previous UFWC matches.... Should be awesome game:

Sergio Batista has recalled defender Javier Zanetti and midfielder Esteban Cambiasso, both ignored by Diego Maradona at the World Cup, into the Argentina side. Andres D�Alessandro should also be back in the starting eleven. Diego Milito will partner Carlos Tevez up front, and Spain will of course be paying close attention to the service they will receive from Lionel Messi.

Spain are likely to start with the same team that saw off Liechtenstein on Friday, with Fernando Torres and David Villa upfront, and Xavi, Alonso, Busquets and Iniesta across the middle.

Argentina play Japan next on 8 October, then Brazil in November. Would be good if Japan beat Argentina to get the UWFC in Asia, a bit closer for New Zealand to nab it.

 

Messi is doubtful because of injury, though Japanese FA President has stated Argentina will only get their $200,000 fixture bonus if he plays.

 

Sergio Aguero is apparently out due to a 'strained buttock'.

 

Japan vs Korea for the title tonight - last title match of the year.

All hail the 2010 Unofficial World Cup Champions: Japan

 

Next title defence will be in Qatar at the Asian Cup.

 

Kim Jong-Il's press men will be loving this. "North Korea (unofficial) Champions of the Wooooooooorrrrrrrrrrld!!!)"

 

Good luck getting that title put on the line in a friendly.
