Canada in a group with Mexico's El Tri and Honduras' La H = certain early World Cup qualification death

South Sudan's historic, if too brief, World Cup campaign should be something inspiring and build upon. These are the World Cup 2018 jerseys they will wear from 2015-16 made by AMS they wore in the home and home series with imput from the players:

http://footballfashion.org/wordpress/2015/10/05/south-sudan-201516-ams-home-and-away-kits/

Too bad Zimbabwe (ZFA's failure to pay former coach Jose Claudinei a severance fee) and Indonesia (government interference involving the PSSI) are suspended from this --and will not be in the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup video game. Wish every FIFA nation would be in it except for not fielding a team.

Speaking of suspensions: FIFA suspends the Kuwait Football Association over a sports law, something many world sports organizations take a very dim view of. They're running out of national soccer federations or FAs to ban

Kuwait currently sits second behind South Korea with 10 points in Asian qualifying in Group G:

Interesting, given that Kuwaiti al-Sabah is likely the Godfather of Bach's IOC Presidency and has also been rumoured to be a potential Blatter successor after getting his foot into FIFA doors recently.
