Yet again, the possible route of the UFWC title to the World Cup has been changed without a ball being kicked. Following on from
my previous update, the scheduled match between Portugal and Mexico on May 30th has been called off, which means that all of Portugal's games, as well as the match between Serbia and Cameroon on June 5th, are no longer part of the UFWC's journey to South Africa. In place of the Potrugal/Mexico match, Mexico will now face Gambia on the same date.
As a result, the current route to South Africa is as follows:
(*=WC qualifier,

=victory means UFWC will go to WC)
26/05/10 Netherlands* vs Mexico*
30/05/10
Mexico
* vs Gambia
01/06/10 Netherlands* vs Ghana*
03/06/10
Italy

*
05/06/10
Ghana
* vs Latvia
05/06/10
Netherlands
* vs Hungary
05/06/10
Switzerland
* vs
Italy
*
This means that only Latvia, Hungary or Gambia can deny the UFWC from reaching the World Cup for the third consecutive competition, and that there is a very good chance of a title unification at the end of the competition.
As ever, we will update you with any changes in the schedule.
