Men's Futsal FIFA World Cup 2021

After a draw 2-2   and a win for   the situation of Group A is Italy and Portugal 4 pts; Finland 2 pts and Belarus (eliminated) 0 pt

 

Sunday the winner of vs   will have a ticket for WC, but the loser team risk to be out if Finland will win against Belarus. Also a draw can't save both top team.

  could be the big surprise, can eliminated one of two "big team" and reach the playoff.

 

 

Africa Cup of Nation

 

and are the first two semifinalists, other two will be   or (play Saturday) and or   (Sunday)

If CAF sanctions them, AU (African Union) may ban all countries from participating in CAF events. That would be interesting to witness...

 

AU can't do nothing.

FIFA does not allow political interference in confederations and associated members. Suspension and commissioner would come immediately ...... CAF governace are safe.

AU has proven before that won’t stop them. AU is arguably the most powerful organization in Africa. Countries with a spine have already pulled out of this abomination. FIFA isn’t safe from attacks, and the AU could do a lot of damage if they directed their members to investigate FIFA. FIFA is powerful, but they have weaknesses.

I have to mention that Finland was leading Portugal 2-0 until the last 2 minutes a second penalty mark and a power play goal in last 2 minutes somehow saved Portugal.

Finland's defense was really good and Portugal despite having someone like Ricardinho really had hard time to create chances against them.

 

Finland is an ultra defensive team, I don't think they can beat Belarus but if they will, one between ITA/POR will be eliminated unless they finish in a 3-3 tie !

6 quota only for UEFA??? absurd.

 

On what basis does concacaf deserve 4 places? their merit in futsal is even lower than in football and in the later they have 3.5. More so since football WC is for 32 teams...
