ALG had 2 red cards from previous match + 2 injured players , they were in bad situation , otherwise the score will be large

lucky teams in the same group with Qatar in WC  

 

Yes, it's obvious the Qatar group will be a desired destination for anyone outside Pot 1 during the draw ( I assume the hosts will be in that pot by design). Any team from Europe/South America or even Africa could advance into the knockout round. Qatar has bought enough foreigners to look competitive in handball but football is a different ball game

Great news!

The 10 Conmebol teams are going to play in the Nations League starting from 2024.

If Boniek is quoted here than it's a done deal.

 

Huge chance for some European teams to finally play the elusive  

 

It's the only CONMEBOL nation Poland has never played before (and we had a discussion about these games few months back).

If confirmed, a decent leverage to use against FIFA's biennal WC plan

All the games would be played in Europe, which is kinda wack. I'd like to see us playing in Bolivia

Bolivia & Venezuela will probably be placed in B division so there is more chance someone like Slovakia draws them? @hckošice

We are in C Division meaning we are stuck on excursions around the former Soviet Union currently

 

 

btw our schedule is official

@hckošice Well, you can always advance to B level come 2024? The same way Poland probably drops to B level and somehow gets to play Venezuela.

by 2024 I see us rather  in Division D to be honest but who care about this competition, the only positive side of this league of nations is the mega-izzy path to EURO through division play-offs, like we did qualify for this year EURO

I suspect FIFA will simply split and this will end up replacing the World Cup.
