World Cup 2022 qualifiers.

[Sedale Threatt]

Big absences. No McKennie is a killer.

[wco81]

Italy is out.

[Sedale Threatt]

Not the worst result, but blew two absolute sitters right in the keeper's lap.

[hermes]

at least we got a point

[hermes]

for crying out loud canada, couldn't do us a favor and beat costa rica?

[hermes]

great first half for !

which is good because costa rica won again

[Sedale Threatt]

5-1, and Panama didn't even have to get their little toesies cold. Win-win.

so usa is in very good shape to qualify right?
3 points ahead of costa rica, and a huge goal differential lead
so we'd have to lose 11-0?

6-goal differential I believe since the US goal differential would get worse while Costa Rica's would improve in a head-to-head. Pretty unlikely given they've only scored 11 goals across the qualifiers.

Italy went off script and lost to North Macedonia. Bruno Fernandes says thank you.

For the first time since I'm old enough to remember I'll have two countries to cheer for in a world cup.

Now you have Bonucci crying in the media about the qualification process. At least you can still make it through the playoffs and catch life.

Imagine being one of the African countries qualifying? they could literally win every game for 3 years except one and fail to qualify for the world cup.

Did you see the clips of the penalty shots in the Senegal-Egypt match? Laser pointers in Salah's face and then on the Egyptian goalie thing to defend PKs from Senegal?

Wow it was worse than that, log of complaints by the Egypt FA to the Sengal FA.

If Italy had won more of their qualifying matches they'd have qualified. it wasn't down to one match at all.

I'm sick to death of the "salah" quotes everywhere. It was the same for all the Egyptian players. Maybe he should've scored during the match. Penalties are a lottery anyway.

As for the lasers. they should be banned and the fans should be banned. but nothing will happen.
