From Mark, Blackpool, via text on 81111: "Do you know If Bouazza is on the bench for Algeria? I never thought as a Blackpool fan one of our players would be involved in a game between these two countries!"
He's on the bench, Mark. A Hameur blow, no doubt...

1741: Nadir Belhadj plays a little one-two on the edge of the Egyptian box and the Pompey player leans back and fires his left-foot shot over.

BBC Sport's Stephen Fottrell in Paris: "The Green Army has moved from north Dublin to under the Eiffel Tower. Not quite in the same numbers as five years ago - the last time Ireland were here for a qualifier - but a very impressive turnout all the same. Especially given the weekend's result and the efforts of the French footballing authorities to limit the number of tickets for travelling fans.

"The boys in green will enjoy another noisy support tonight, but whether they can turn the tie around and achieve what would arguably be the greatest result in their history is another matter. These fans remain optimistic, more so with every afternoon beer."

1736: To say they don't like each other would be a pretty enormous understatement. A foul leads to half a brawl in the middle of the pitch - I say half, because I can't help but feel it might get worse. Referee Eddy Maillet keeps his cards in his pocket, thankfully.

1734: The atmosphere in Khartoum can probably be described as lively. Gates to the stadium opened five hours before kick-off and Sudan has deployed 15,000 police to ensure they will not be trouble. Let's hope football remains the focus tonight. Yellow card for Nadir Belhadj after only 56 seconds. Uh-oh.

1732: The game begins in Khartoum. It's Egypt v Algeria for a place in the World Cup finals. If you so wish, you can watch the drama unfold on the Fifa website.

1730: Stevo's Predos:
Egypt 2-1 Algeria
Ukraine 2-0 Greece
Bosnia-Hercegovina 1-1 Portugal
Slovenia 1-1 Russia
France 2-0 Rep of Ire

1726: The teams are out in Khartoum. There are about 12 million people on the pitch.* It's not about to start yet, promise you that.

* This may be a slight exaggeration

1725: You'd be crazy to not want to partake in such revelry, wouldn't you? Hit Cheesy on Twitter, hit her on 606 and get those texts coming in to 81111. Especially if you're at the Al Merreikh Stadium in Khartoum this evening.

1722: Of course I haven't forgotten about Uruguay v Costa Rica - that starts at 2300 GMT tonight and that is officially for the last place in South Africa.

1720: Egypt v Algeria line-ups:
Egypt: Essam El Hadary, Ahmed Al Muhamadi, Abdel Zaher El Sakka, Hani Said, Ahmed Fathi, Amr Zaki, Emad Meteab, Wael Gomaa, Sayed Moawad, Ahmed Hassan (c), Mohamed Aboutrika.
Algeria: Fawzi Chaouchi, Rafik Saifi, Mourad Maghini, Hassan Yebda, Yazid Mansouri (c), Karim Ziani, Antar Yahia, Nadir Belhadj, Madjid Bougherra, Rafik Halliche, Abdelkader Ghezzal.

1718: That's just the first of the final five places at next summer's feast of football that are up for grabs tonight. Here's the running order for the European play-off second leg ties:

Ukraine v Greece (agg: 0-0) 1800 GMT
Bosnia-Hercegovina v Portugal (agg: 0-1) 1945 GMT
Slovenia v Russia (agg: 1-2) 1945 GMT
France v Rep of Ireland (agg: 1-0) 2000 GMT

1715: Cheesy's gone missing. Which means that for the start of tonight's proceedings, you're stuck with me. Luckily, in 15 minutes, Egypt and Algeria will once again play for a place at the 2010 World Cup. You've got to feel sorry for the poor people of Khartoum, haven't you?
