5/25 International Round-Up

More updates on friendlies involving World Cup teams:

Cameroon 0, Georgia 0: Without Samuel Eto'o in the match day squad, the Indomitable Lions played out a scoreless draw against Georgia in Austria.  Cameroon will take on Slovakia (5/29), Portugal (6/1), and Serbia (6/5) before heading down to South Africa.

Nigeria 0, Saudi Arabia 0: The Super Eagles took on Saudi Arabia at Craven Cottage yesterday, and like Cameroon, their match ended without a goal.  They will continue their preparations with a friendly against Colombia on Sunday before heading down to South Africa, where they take on North Korea in one last tune-up before group play begins.

Greece 2, North Korea 2: This was only game of the day that featured two World Cup qualifiers.  While both sides were able to get on the score sheet, this match also ended in a draw.  All four goals were the product of set pieces, with the relatively unknown North Koreans holding their own against the Greeks.  Of all the goals (which can be seen here), perhaps the prettiest was this second half settle and strike by Jong Tae-Se:



Ireland 2, Paraguay 1: Paraguay joined the US as the only World Cup qualifiers to lose yesterday, as they fell to hosts Ireland after surrendering a pair of first half goals.  You can see all the goals here.
