ExiledAjax Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Port Said Red said: There would probably be enough spaces allocated for several European, Central and South American sides that are commonly at World Cups as well though. Austria, Chile, Columbia, Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, Peru for example. Also with any luck life might be back to some sort of normality and Russia might be brought back into the fold. The quality of the competition will only suffer if too many places are giving the lesser regions, and we end up with the likes of Fiji, Western Samoa or Nepal. UEFA is getting 3 more spots (13 > 16) CAF (Africa) gets the biggest increase of a further 4 spots plus play off (5 > 9.33) CONCACAF (N. America) are getting an extra 3 slots, but will also obviously be using potentially 3 slots for the 3 host teams. So that may be subject to change. (3.5 > 6.33) AFC (Asia) goes from 4.5 to 8.3, so essentially +4 slots. CONMEBOL (S. America) gets +2 (4.5 > 6.3), but there's only 10 nations in CONMEBOL so we could see 7 out of the 10 teams qualify! OFC goes from 0 guaranteed spots to 1 guaranteed plus a playoff. So New Zealand are now basically guaranteed to qualify for every world cup. So the biggest increases are going to be in Africa and Asia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Just noticed Sunderland are at home to Millwall, just kicked off. Thought the Championship was closed down for 4 weeks. Gives both these sides a significant advantage of match sharpness going into next weekend’s fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina vs Australia will be a close one but think Oz will win AET Funnily enough my betting slip agrees with you. I have had a funny feeling about these 2 games and time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been even more of a talking point than the Japanese winter last night! A freeze-frame of the "goal" was therefore appropriate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A history of nasty behaviour, diving, scuffing penalty spots, flapping arms and screaming at officials. Everything I hate about footballers. Ahh that snappy little Suarez !

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 2-0 to the Dutch and totally in charge. It`s always the way with them, creep through the groups under the radar and then turn it on in the knockouts. A bit like Italy when they`re there.
