Feature
For the first time ever, Uzbekistan have reached a World Cup, and they've done it the hard way — by building a fortress at the back, leaking just seven goals across ten qualifiers. The question now is whether a side so reliant on its defence can find the goals to truly compete on the biggest stage. With World Cup-winning legend Fabio Cannavaro in the dugout, there's pedigree on the touchline, even if his managerial record has been a mixed bag.
That's that, then. Uzbekistan are out at the group stage — the maths finally caught up. A disappointing end, but there'll be stories to tell and lessons to take from it.
