I was amazed to read Uzbekistan are VERY close to qualifying for the world cup. They have 2 games to won at home against poor opposition and they are going to Brazil! As a Scotsman, I am always amazed at how many 'smaller' football nations will be there, as we stay at home. Anyway, all this info came from futbolgrad website. It covers football from old USSR countries. Ill attach link, it was a decent read!
