When U2 was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Bono made a pointed statement to the executives in the room, saying, "The way things are now, there never would have been a U2." He meant that new bands have no room to develop, and are often dropped if the first album doesn't do well.

More important to morale than this fond memory, however, has been the series of impressive recent friendly results racked up by Nelo Vingada's team, whose declared target is to qualify for the final stage of Asian qualify by emerging from a section that also includes Korea Republic and Turkmenistan.
