  1. There is the matter of the last 6 spots up for grabs, 4 from UEFA and 2 from the Intercontinental playoffs. These will be drawn tomorrow (7 AM eastern) and contested in the March window. What do we have? UEFA There are 16 teams vying for the last 4 UEFA spots. They will be placed in 4 brackets, with the winners going to the World Cup. Each bracket will be: In the Semis Pot 1 and 2 teams will host. Tomorrow's draw will also determine the host for the Final of each bracket. Pretty straight forward. Intercontinental playoff There are 6 teams vying for two spots. This format is a touch more complicated. In this case the top two world ranked teams, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Iraq, automatically advance to the finals. While the remaining 4 teams will be drawn head to head to face the winners. Another key thing: Jamaica and Suriname cannot meet in the semi-finals, so the semis will either be Jamaica-Bolivia / Suriname-New Caledonia or Jamaica-New Caledonia / Bolivia-Suriname. These will also be neutral site matches. Word broke recently that they will be played in Guadalajara and Monterrey. The brackets look like this:
  2. Well we are almost there. We have 42 of 48 spots decided for the World Cup. Next for the whole tournament is the draw. That is going to be held Dec 5 at Noon Eastern. Needless to say the world will be watching.
  3. Neither did Honduras because of that result last night. In both cases
  4. I see the whole game on HBO Max. Likely on TNT too, but I don't have that one.
  5. Just sayin' And in the latest World Rankings
  6. Tell me you've never had a fried Oreo without telling me
  7. OH WOW!!! Suriname gets an OG in stoppage time and moves up ahead of Honduras of the 2nd place teams. That puts THEM into the intercontinental playoff and Honduras is DED dead.
  8. Finals in Group C - Haiti wins and advances!!! CURACAO - JAMAICA JUST WENT FINAL!!!
  9. It's going to VAR, but I don't see how you reverse .... oh wait a sec does he get the ball?!!?!?!? HE DID!!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
  10. PENALTY FOR JAMAICA!!! Last minute of stoppage time.
  11. Honduras - Costa Rica is turning into a gang fight.
  12. Serious drama, I recommend the Goalazo show. Jamaica hit the woodwork about 2 minutes ago. And they just got a red card! There is going to be a ton of stoppage time, but it's still 0-0. Panama has pretty much wrapped up their ticket up 3-0.
  13. There is about 15' left in the CONCACAF games and this is what's going on: Group A - Disaster for Suriname - they are getting routed 3-0 against Guatemala. Panama is winning 2-0. That would give Panama the group, but the bad loss would likely knock Suriname out of the intercontinental playoff. Group B - Curacao and Jamaica are tied 0-0. Curacao had a goal wiped out for offsides. Group C - Haiti is up 2-0 on Nicaragua and Costa Rica and Honduras are scoreless. That would put Haiti into the World Cup These results would end up with Honduras and Jamaica into the Intercontinental playoff.
  14. Despite how crappy that play broke down resulting in their goal, I really don’t even care. We’re kicking the crap out of these guys.
  15. How did Mexico do against these guys the other day? And think about the last time we played them how that went for us.
  16. Ironic that Berhalters goal was on a play that showed more creativity than the entire coaching run of his dad.
  17. Fox is the absolute worst, for a product they paid top dollar for, they treat it like a red-headed step child. Morning/Afternoon recap: AFC - Iraq won their game today 2-1 and move on to the Intercontinental playoff. UEFA - Group B - Switzerland after a 1-1 draw Group C - Scotland in the game of the day Group E - Spain after a 2-2 draw Group H - Austria after a 1-1 draw Group J - Belgium rolling over Liechtenstein THere are 16 teams competing for the 4 remaining spots: Pot 1 - Italy, Denmark, Turkey, Ukraine Pot 2 - Poland, Wales, Czech Republic, Slovakia Pot 3 - Ireland, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo Pot 4 - Romania, Sweden, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland The draw for this is Thursday, but each group will match: Pot 1 v Pot 4 Pot 2 v Pot 3 The Pot 1 and 2 teams will host the semis. They will draw for the host of the final too. CONCACAF is on Paramount + tonight.
  18. From the sound of this - I really wish I could get a stream working
  19. which one? I'm not watching - work (looking for a stream though)
  20. Let's just throw all the qualifiers in her for today because I was looking at the board and DAMN there's some interesting things going on. Asia - Their automatic teams are in (8) there is the final match for the Intercontinental playoff today - Iraq vs UAE (1-1 after the first leg) UEFA - they have their final matchday of auto qualifiers today. A few groups have head to head deciding matches where the winner is in and the loser is in their playoff. The team in italics is the one which advances with a draw: Group B - Kosovo v Switzerland (Kosovo would need to erase +11 GD in the game) Group C - Scotland v Denmark Group E - Spain v Turkiye (Turkiye would need to erase +14 GD in the game) Group H - Austria v Bosnia and Herzegovina Group J is also in play Belgium v Liechtenstein and Wales v North Macedonia - Belgium is in with a win or likely draw. If they lose, an outright winner in Wales-N. Macedonia can get the spot CONCACAF - I haven't paid attention to qualifying because the US is already in, but when I pulled it up the groups are topped with names that shock me: Group A - Suriname (9 pts, +5 GD) and Panama (9, +2) top the group, today's matches Guatemala v Suriname and Panama v El Salvador Group B - Curacao (11) and Jamaica (10) play head to head in Jamaica tonight Group C - Honduras (8, +3), Haiti (8,+1) and Costa Rica (6, +2) are all in the mix. Tonight Costa Rica v Honduras and Haiti v Nicaragua Second placed teams are ranked and top 2 of 3 go to the intercontinental playoff. I am rooting for Suriname, Curacao and Haiti for 2 reasons: 1- if they make it in, much cooler. 2- the teams that would fall to the intercontinental playoff would be much more likely to make the playoff than those 3 teams that would likely get the floor mopped with them.
