World Cup 2022 FIFA World Cup (Qualifiers)

Dutch going back into partial lockdowns so no fans for upcoming Norway qualifier …

 

[RPCB]

Norway really ****ed themselves this morning. Had they beaten Latvia, they would have been equal top with one fixture remaining (Netherlands). But they drew, so they are 3rd and Turkey play Montenegro.

Getting rewards for all his hard work. Can't wait to see him in a Chelsea jersey next season.

The Netherlands coughed up a two goal lead to Montenegro to draw. They would've qualified had they held on but now could still miss out on the play-offs if results don't go their way.

That’s true. I think they will get a result against Norway on the final fixture.

You have no idea how hard it was to articulate the Italy-Switzerland scenerio. I nearly just gave up and gave you a link to elsewhere.

 

[Visions]

Croatia qualify after a lopsided game where they had 18-1 shots and 70% of the ball, yet it took an own goal by Russia in the 81st minute to get them through.

They need a PE Teacher as a manager.

 

[peternorth]

Spanish eyes are smiling

 

[peternorth]

Serbia stun Portugal!

 

[Zidane98]

France and Belgium qualify

Borat was most displeased with the 8-0 Kazakhstan drubbing by Les Bleus.


Think they are better off in AFC where they have a chance of qualification lol

 

[windyhill]

He’s a cracker Mitro, love the man.

[darth_timon]

Guys, I think England might hold on against San Marino...

Scotland beating the Danes as I type, could be massive. Northern Ireland holding Italy would be huge.

 

[peternorth]

The marinos need to bring on a defender

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Italy forced into the play-offs once again.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Italy forced into the play-offs once again.

4 wins out of 8 games in that group is pretty disappointing

 

[Thistle]

Amazing campaign from Scotland to finish on 23 points. Would have topped a lot of groups and resulted in Automatic qualification but faced with
a Denmark team at the top of their game.

A seeding and home playoff is massive and the spirit this group has will hopefully see them through. Would be fully deserved

 

[Zidane98]

Some massive beatdowns for the minnow teams. San Marino done 10-0, Liechenstein 9-0, Kazakhstan 8-0.

IMO there should be a group with Andorra, San Marino, Liechenstein, Gibraltar & Malta with the winner of the group going into the next round of qualifying.

Seems pointless having a NT suffering constant thrashings all the time.

That's what the nation's league is all about

 

[Zidane98]

These guys should be playing games against American Samoa lol. Can anyone guess who San Marino drew with in USA 94 and Japan / Korea 2002 qualifying (without googling it of course)?

So deprive these nations playing against the France, England’s, Italy’s and Portugal’s of the world? It would literally make those players year swapping shirts with Ronaldo, Kane, Mbappe etc. I doubt any San Marino player cared about getting thumped 10-0 to England (maybe the goalkeeper lol). When else would any of those players be on the same pitch as the best players in the world? I doubt many of them would even play for clubs that even play in the European Conference League.

The team that wins that proposed group would go on to play those teams in the next stage of qualifying.

Most of the players are amateurs.


I feel they would enjoy a competitive comp more than being pasted every week. Lets not forget that San Marino recently managed successive 0-0 draws against Liechenstein & Gibraltar in the Nations League resulting in mass celebrations.


The other thing that could be done is run a "Least Worst World Cup". Include all the bottom 32 ranked teams in a tournament.

Would actually love a World Cup like that.
