After the latest round of qualifying matches for the 2010 World Cup, the final 32 has become clearer with three more nations claiming places in South Africa.

A total of 23 nations have already booked their tickets for South Africa and–with top teams of the caliber of Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, England, the Netherlands, Ivory Coast and Ghana already securing their places–the tournament promises to be a real football extravaganza.

With a 2-0 win over Morocco in Fez, Paul Le Guen’s Cameroon booked their place in the World Cup.

Nigeria also clinched their place at the tournament with a 3-2 victory over Kenya although they had Mozambique to thank for beating Tunisia 1-0 to enable them to top the group.

New Zealand qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1982 as they ran out 1-0 winners in their playoff with Bahrain. Rory Fallon scored the only goal of the game.
