The Netherlands were the surprise beneficiary of FIFA’s late decision to abandon the principles of the 2002, 2006 World Cup draw’s seeding formula.
In those cycles, FIFA assigned weights to the two preceding World Cup finishes along with the end-of-year FIFA World Rankings from the last three years.
Today, when announcing the eight seeded teams that will be draw into separate groups for World Cup 2010, FIFA disclosed that the only factor in this year’s seeding was the October 2009 FIFA World Ranking. The top seven nations from that last will join host nation South Africa as seeds for Friday’s draw. Read the full story

BUENOS AIRES (AFP) – Argentina’s Supreme Court on Tuesday decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use, tossing out tough provincial drug laws whose penalties it deemed unconstitutional.
The high court ruling protects “the privacy of adults who are responsible for their own conduct,” according to a court statement.
It said the constitution protected “the private actions of individuals who in no way offend order or public morality, or harm a third party, who answer to God free from a judge’s authority.” Read the full story

Brazil secured its place in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Argentina has to still struggle like the national soccer team of that county struggled yesterday and was able to only score one goal against Brazil’s 3.
World soccer champion Diego Maradona, who trains the national soccer team of Argentina was not happy yesterday.
Brazil clearly had the preeminence and played very well. But the goal the Argentina scored was really beautiful. This was a game between two classics of world soccer.
