See who has already booked a ticket to the World Cup in South Africa 2010.

The day was busy. Many important matches going on at the same time and some countries can already rest assured to be visiting South Africa next June. The happy faces of the day? Paraguay, Spain and England.

Paraguay played in style and beat Argentina to give the hermanos more headache. La Albiceleste is now 5th in South America and runs the risk of not making it to South Africa if they do not manage to get up and win some matches. Diego Maradona is in some serious trouble. Paraguay had a great campaign and a well deserved spot.

Spain finished first of the group, as expected. The Spaniards beat Estonia 3 – 0 and are sure to be showing up as one of the favorites next year.

The other European nation to qualify was England by beating Croatia 5-1. That was comfortable with goals from Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney.

Switzerland, Serbia, Slovakia and champions Italy are close to qualifying after valuable results today.

So far, the following have qualified: Ghana, Australia, Japan, Korea DPR, Korea Republic, England, Netherlands, Spain, New Zealand, Brazil and South Africa.
