I think we may have covered this but how the hell did the Azzurri get stuck in a playoff?

Group winners advance, 2nd place to playoffs. Spain won the group.

Not in UEFA, 1st qualifies and 2nd goes to the playoffs. Inevitably one name country will be in the playoffs and another won’t qualify at all.

Granted, UEFA groups are 1 really great team, 1 really good team, 1 team with a shot, and a bunch of also rans.

And UEFA’s highly centralized organization prevents a lot of shenanigans like in other parts of the world.

SW/IT FS1 also at 2:45 on Fri.

Nothing yet on Den/Ire yet.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

Watching US-Canada Women’s game and ESPN had an interesting halftime segment with Julie Foudy talking about a lot of up and coming countries in the Women’s game versus a struggling US team.

Key point was talking about the struggles of Women’s U20 and U17 teams at World Cups, with the U17 team failing to qualify twice.

I don’t normally like Foudy but her point of “If you thought the Men were in bad shape, the Women’s team could be facing a similar disappointment.” Very similar to something I’ve told folks.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

Africa has two spots left:
Morocco and the Ivory Coast play tomorrow (Saturday). Winner goes on, a draw means Morocco is in.
Tunisia and DR Congo do not play, but depending on results could change. Looks like Tunisia is in.

UEFA:
Sweden 1-0 over Italy, play again Monday
Switzerland 1-0 over NI, play again Sunday
Croatia 4-1 over Greece, play again Sunday
Ireland and Denmark play Saturday and Tuesday

Playoffs:
Both match-ups ended in scoreless draws and will have the second leg Wednesday
Honduras-Australia will meet in Sydney
New Zealand-Peru will meet in Lima
Literal must wins for the home squads, a draw puts Honduras and the Kiwis through to Russia.

That Italy US matchup in the NIT will be cool

TV for the Denmark/Ireland game: Denmark vs. Ireland (1st leg), 2:45pm, FOX Sports 2, FOX Deportes, DIRECTV NOW, Sling Blue and fubo Premier (7-day free trial).

Xfinity doesn't carry the first 2, don't have Direct, not paying for Sling Blue. I guess check out fubo Premier after the NCSt/BC game. 7 day trial will cover the 2 matches.

If you have good internet you could stream it from abroad. I use Chromecast to beam the signal from my PC to my big screen TV.

DR Congo did what they needed to and won by two against Guinea, but Tunisia had a scoreless draw against Libya to win the group.

Morocco wins 2-0 on the road at Ivory Coast to move on.

That means the African teams will be Tunisia, Nigeria, Morocco, Senegal and Egypt.

So no Ghana, Ivory Coast, or Algeria? Interesting.

ireland all level at nil on the road.
 
Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

So take a look at teams from 2014 that didn’t qualify for 2018:
USA
Ecuador
Chile
Ghana
Algeria
Cameroon
Ivory Coast
Netherlands
Bosnia
Either Australia or Honduras
Either Croatia or Greece

Plus potentially:
Switzerland
Italy

Potentially 13 teams from 2014 will be missing.
 
Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

Re: World Soccer XXVIII: Campeones de NorteAmérica.

And if Australia and New Zealand fail to qualify that means 5 out of the 6 Confederation Champions (USA, Cameroon, Chile are the others) will have failed to qualify.
