1. Switzerland have qualfied!

Calm down everybody! This is too exciting! Please calm down! I can barely contain myself. I can't imagine anyone feeling differently.

I better check my pulse and blood pressure. This is too much to take in. Switzerland will be at the WC! Wow! Bloody Switzerland! Holy Cow, but this is exciting!.

2. I suppose I should clarify.

That was sarcasm. The mere mention of World Cup and Switzerland in the same sentence saps my energy so much that I may have to go back to bed for lack of energy.

Yeah, yeah, '54 world cup. I know. It's been a long time, though.

5. Bayern winger Xherdan Shaqiri.

That's all I have to say about Switzerland's qualification!

3. WOW -- Colombia

Just tied it up after being down 3-0.

On edit - Colombia got the point they needed to get in. What a game.

Also Honduras held on 1-0

7. The USA's last minute victory over Panama was impressive.

I have to give them credit, they didn't give up. And that was without the main star players talking the field.

They seem to have a pretty good offense for the level of players we have. Defense is inconsistent and that will be a problem during the WC. But overall, I think Klinsmann has done a good job.
