What a big girls wetter

Here we go TK; I must have some of them wrong though
1) Yugoslavia ceased to be a country in 1992, Central African Republic have a team called exactly that and China are relatively new on the international scene so I will say none of them.
2) There was a Uzebekistan playeer in the area and instead of ordering a penalty to be retaken the ref gave an indirect free kick; i think the match was replayed.
3) Togo took a Witch Doctor with them so I can only assume it were him.
4) Don't know, total guess - bongo drum.
5) His players went on strike over a pay dispute. After Otto resigned Togo appointed their chief cook as coach but Otto was reinstated later.
6) Handball.
7) Haven't a clue, guess practising dancing or in Drogba's case sucking dummies.
As an addition to this one, Who was the Ivory Coast's trainer/coach in the 2008 African Cup?
8) He gave one player three yellow cards.
9) Switzerland missed every penalty in the shoot out; don't know who it was against.
10) Don't know, he scored the first goal before being sent off. Maybe all of them?
