    Didn’t realise Italy were only play offs, would be weird a World Cup without them 
    They haven't been in the last 2!
    Blimey, didn’t realise that.

    Would be their third World Cup missed in a row if they don’t make it. Bizarre for such a massive football country.
    Which makes them beating us in Euro 2020 all the more painful

    That was a really good game.

    I know they hate us, but it's more interesting Scotland being there than Denmark.
    Any CAFC'playrrs likely to be there......past or present. 

    Edwards  ?
    MacGillivray  ?
    Watt ?

    Gatusso had something to say about qualifying criteria.

    What will France and Australia do without Denmark in their World Cup group this time around?

    UEFA playoffs pots:

    Pot 1: Italy, Denmark, Turkey, Ukraine

    Pot 2: Poland, Czechia, Wales, Slovakia

    Pot 3: Ireland, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo

    Pot 4: Romania, Sweden, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland

    The draw will be held on Thursday at 12.

    If Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland all end up in different paths, we could still have five home nations at the World Cup.
    New FIFA ranking to come out before the draw. ROI are currently 62nd, Slovakia are 48th, they lost 6-0 to Germany and beat Non Iron. Whilst ROI have beaten both  higher ranking teams in Portugal & Hungry. So there could be a switch of pots depending on our far they drop and how much of an increase in ranking for ROI.

    Is there still a chance for Jamaica to qualify? Would love a potential 4-5 Addicks being represented at the World Cup!

    They beat Northern Ireland on Friday so that's probably enough to keep them in Pot 2.

    Watt?????? He might be Scottish but he's been playing in the Scottish Championship for three of the last four seasons and scored one goal last season in the SPL. He's 32 next month, has one cap to his name and that was nine years ago!

    The draw will be on the 5th December at 5pm. 


    The expected pots as per the BBC.

    TBC for Pot 3 or Pot 4: South Africa, Jordan and tonight’s three CONCACAF qualifiers.

    Each group will have a maximum of one team per confederation, with the exception of UEFA who may have up to two teams in a group (owing to having 12 groups and 16 wualified teams).

    CONCACAF kicks off in an hour - reminder of the scenarios in each of the three groups.

    - Suriname (v Guatemala) can qualify if they match Panama’s result (v El Salvador), otherwise Panama qualify. Most likely outcome: too close to call, Panama 51%, Suriname 49%.

    - Jamaica must win to qualify. Curacao must not lose to qualify. Most likely outcome: too close to call. Jamaica 51%, Curacao 49%.

    - Honduras (v Costa Rica) can qualify if they win or draw and match Haiti’s result (v Nicaragua). If Costa Rica (v Honduras) win, they must hope that Haiti fail to win in order to qualify. Most likely outcome: Haiti qualify (64%). Honduras 22%, Costa Rica 14%.

    - Only the two best of the three group runners-up will move on to the inter-continental playoffs. It’s most likely to come to from the first two groups (so Panama/Suriname plus Jamaica/Curacao).

    1-0 Panama

    1-0 Haiti


    As it stands, qualified teams: Panama, Curacao, Haiti

    Playoffs: Jamaica, Suriname

    HT in all CONCACAF matches

    As above: Panama, Curacao, Haiti would qualify with Suriname and Jamaica in the playoffs.

    Suriname 1-0 down to Guatemala

    Solidifies Panama’s hold on the qualifying position from that group.

    Suriname now only above Honduras in playoff ranking on goal difference.

    2-0 Guatemala

    Believe Suriname are only above Honduras for the playoffs on goals scored now

    3-0 Guatemala

    Suriname drop out of the playoffs and Honduras step in


    Finished 3-1 with a 93rd minute own goal from Guatemala. Suriname make it on goals scored.

    Not sure if there’s beef between Honduras and Guatemala… 😅

    40. Panama
    41. Haiti
    42. Curacao

    Six inter-continental playoff teams are: Iraq, DR Congo, Jamaica, Suriname, Bolivia, New Caledonia.

    Iraq and DR Congo are seeded and will not have to play a first round match. Jamaica will hope they draw New Caledonia.
