They don't play qualification like the men used to do.
They do play qualification somewhat like the men will do, although for one place fewer (possibly 1.5 pending FIFA's allocations for '14)—the main difference will be that the women do a single tournament while the men will do a double-round-robin home-and-home set without the four-team bracket at the end (but likely with the third-place teams facing off if the allocation remains 3.5 places).

Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
So that was sweet.
Madrid are a bunch of dicks, not surprisingly. Sergio Ramos saw a red at the death, and Arbeloa and Alonso and Carvalho all could've had either straight reds or reds on multiple caution-worthy fouls, but it's tough to complain right at the moment!
Some of Ray Hudson's hyperbole, reproduced for you here:
"Cool as Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock!" -on Xavi's finish for Barcelona's first goal
"This is a goal of orgiastic proportions!" -on Barcelona's third goal
"Real Madrid's defense stretched out like spandex on Miami Beach and Casillas is left naked!" -on Barcelona's fourth goal
"It's an impeccable pass by Bojan on the run, this kid can bend light if he needed to!" -on Bojan's pass to set up Jeffren for Barcelona's fifth goal
"Any comparisons anybody draws against Barcelona under Pep Guardiola is an insult, because they are kings of the castle. Top of the heap, nobody can compare to them, nobody is in reach of their shadows, they eclipse every club team in world football in my opinion." -hilarious overhype about Barcelona overall

They're all pretty strong I think. Though I think I'd go with A being slightly tougher than C.
In 2015, they're expanding to 24 teams. Can't help but think that's a little too much too fast.

Jonathan Spector has a first half brace and West Ham lead Manchester United 2-0 at halftime in the Carling Cup.

For obscurity (if you like obscurity), Spanish regional team shirts are neat.

I like this better now that it's not ALL red/white tablecloth pattern:On this note, whose kit is your favorite? I'm partial to Croatia's kits, they are just amazing.

Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
Now Qatar's up, and making similar arguments.
For those keeping score at home, soccer will reunite both the Korean peninsula and the entire Middle East.
Call me crazy, but "Hey, we'll definitely let Israel compete!" isn't the type of assurance you want World Cup hosts making is it?

Japan's going to play the World Cup with holograms. Just to show that they can make better quality knockoffs than the Chinese.

Re: World Soccer XIX- Full of Pomp-ey and Circumstance
Too bad Israel doesn't typically qualify (though they would likely qualify if they could play in their own geographical region, Asia of course) or it'd be almost worth it for Qatar to get it and to see the whole Muslim world squirm at having to let Israel be a part of things.
