It's the 31st of May and there are nine days to go to the World Cup.
This promises to be a great competition andwith 34 countries taking part it has the highest participation levelever.
Seven countries were involved in friendlies yesterday, including England who beat Hungary 3-1. Steven Gerrard was flying at Old Trafford but sadly for the Magyars it was in their penalty box!
An incredible incident in the Poland v Columbia friendly as Columbian goalkeeper Luiz Martinez scored from a goal-kick in their surprise 2-1 win. When asked if they were disappointed about not qualifying for the World Cup he answered Are you on drugs? I mean we need to score an own goal like we need another hole in our heads'!
Good wins also for Brazil, Argentina and the Czech Republic will help their confidence going into the tournament.
