When will the European qualifiers for the 20 10 World Cup start? Is Beckham still the captain of the England team?

The European qualifiers will start in August 2008. The 53 participating teams in Europe are divided into 9 groups, of which each group has 6 teams except 5 teams in one group. Each group will play the home and away double round robin respectively, and the top teams in each group will directly advance to the 20 10 World Cup in South Africa. The eight runner-up teams with the best record in the nine groups will be divided into four pairs for home and away elimination, resulting in another four teams. The results of the drawing of lots for European regions are as follows: 1 Group: Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Albania and Malta; Group II: Greece, Israel, Switzerland, Moldova, Latvia, Luxembourg; Group III: Czech Republic, Poland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, Slovenia and San Marino; Group 4: Germany, Russia, Finland, Wales, Azerbaijan, Liechtenstein; Group V: Spain, Turkey, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Armenia, Estonia; Group VI: Croatia, England, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Andorra; Group 7: France, Romania, Serbia, Lithuania, Austria and Faroe Islands; Group VIII: Italy, Bulgaria, Ireland, Cyprus, Georgia and Montenegro; Group 9: Netherlands, Scotland, Norway, Macedonia and Iceland. Support England and never underestimate the heart of a champion. Capello, an iron-fisted coach, needs to build the champion's defense to make the Three Lions go further. Since Seaman and Adams retired from the national team, the core of the defense has been vacant. In addition, the goalkeeper position is also a soft player in England, but I firmly believe that the 20 10 Three Lions will surprise us. The luxury lineup first includes defenders such as Terry, Ferdinand and Ashley Cole, followed by fledgling players such as Downing and Dell. In addition, there are three core players: Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole and Frank Lampard, which are very balanced and can form a good central axis, as in England.
