TOPIC: '94 WC STANDING 

A busy weekend in African WC qualifying produced a few shocking results.
Zimbabwe were helped by a goal from (Coventry City's ?) Peter Ndlove to
defeat those masters of boring football (I'm basing this on their Italia
'90 performance) - Egypt. Tunisia held Morocco to a 1 - 1 draw. Gabon 
continue to impress with a home win over Senegal. Upset of the day goes 
to those surprising islanders of Madagascar who vaulted to the top of 
group H with a 2 - 0 victory over Zambia. I am missing results for the
following matches that were supposed to be played:

20 Dec   Zaire       -   Cameroon   (postponed)
20 Dec   Swaziland   -   Liberia 
20 Dec   Angola      -   Togo 
20 Dec   Guinea      -   Kenya 

As indicated, I believe the Zaire v. Cameroon match was postponed. I 
wouldn't be surprised if the other match in the "political unrest"
division (Swaziland v. Liberia) was also delayed. Politics could also 
have affected the Angola v. Togo match but your guess is as good as 
mine as to the state of affairs in the farce that is group I. Only 
Kenya and Guinea are left in this group but the way things are going
they may have dropped out as well. Any news on these and other 
previously postponed matches would be appreciated. January will be 
a very busy month for African WC qualifying football as everyone
will be playing again on the weekends of January 16/17 and 30/31.

Celebrate the solstice!
