The highly competitive atmosphere that prevailed during the second day of the FIFA World Cup Beach soccer qualifying games was a true a testimony that all the national teams want to take part in the cup finals to be hosted between 16-22 November 2009 in Dubai.
Beach Soccer Worldwide Media Officer Hans van Damme informed this writer that the selection of Dubai as the selection of Dubai as the venue for this year's FIFA World Cup Beach soccer final proves that they were taking the emerging sporting code to all corners across the globe.
The qualifying games have seen the poorly-prepared Mauritius national team suffering another humilliating drubbing when they were beaten 3-10 by the Egyptian national team on their second consecutive loss.
Mozambique, the national team that was annihilated 10-0 by Senegal on their final round robin game last year, atoned that embarrasing defeat by coming from behind a 2-6 deficit to level score before full time against Lybia.
That game proceeded to extra time but failed to get a winner until Mozambique squeezed through with a narrow 1-nil victory on penalty shoot out.
The final game of the day saw Morrocco pitted against Cote DeIvoire, and this very entertaining qualifying game ended with a narrow victory of 7-6 scoreline by the Ivorian Elephants.
