       Soccer-Leaden-footed England plod on
       towards samba party By Stine-B Jos-Plateau Nigeria, Sept 11
       (Reuters) - England remain on course to
       qualify for next year's World Cup finals but
       the tedious nature of their 0-0 draw in Kiev
       on Tuesday did little to suggest they will
       bring much fun to the party. New FA
       chairman Greg Dyke caused a stir last week
       when he pretty much dismissed England's
       chances of success in south America next
       year and the boring draw against Ukraine
       offered little to contradict him. ...

       Soccer-Redemption for Van Gaal as
       Dutch reach World Cup Sept 11 (Reuters) - Louis van Gaal has
       restored his reputation by leading the
       Netherlands into the World Cup finals, a
       decade after failing in the same competition
       with a highly-rated team. The 62-year-old
       coach delivered the Dutch to next year's
       finals in Brazil on Tuesday when they made
       sure of top place in Group D with a 2-0 win
       in Andorra - their seventh triumph in eight
       qualifiers. The success puts Van Gaal back
       among the coaching elite after he had to
       spend years rebuilding his reputation
       following the failure to qualify for the 2002
       finals. ...

       Soccer-Czech coach Bilek quits after
       World Cup loss to Italy PRAGUE, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Czech coach
       Michal Bilek has resigned following his side's
       2-1 loss to Italy in a World Cup qualifier that
       all but ended the country's chances of
       reaching next year's finals in Brazil. The
       Czechs have endured a stuttering qualifying
       campaign under Bilek, beating only Malta
       and Armenia as they struggled to find the
       net for a majority of their Group B games. "I
       have not met the goal we have set for
       ourselves and... I offer my resignation," Bilek
       said in a statement. ...
