Cup 2010!? Record number of 204 teams enter preliminary competition
Isn't that crazy? Only the football associations of the Philippines, Bhutan, Brunei Darussalam and Laos did not register to take part in FIFA?s flagship competition. For the 2006 FIFA World Cup?, 198 teams were registered and 194 played the preliminary competition.
The first qualifying matches will take place in August 2007.
Soo.. may question is: Which underdogs do you want to see make it to the WC??
