Similar situation for Germany. Canada and Germany are probably the most underestimated teams by the World Ranking, at least in the Top30. But there is still a chance, if Montenegro and Uruguay qualify, that the better ranked team of Canada and Germany (probably Canada) will end up in the 2nd pot, if they use the World Ranking

I mean, if you land in a group with Argentina and Brazil that would be the best thing that could happen to Canada, with the olympics in perspective.

 

I know it will probably be not possible due to rules or sth though.

btw cote d'Ivoire became the last African country to secure a spot in the WC , they won their last 3 games with a +73 points margin to overcome Cameroon who was almost assured of a spot in the WC , well that result really put a huge question mark on whether there was a manipulation with results in the last window of African qualifications and it's still not fair to end group E matches in December and make group F matches on February , i don't think Cote d'Ivoire is any aspect deserved this spot at WC

Montenegro qualified.

 

Latvia was very close. One of their players scored a silly double  when they only needed 3 near the end. There was no hurry either as they had plenty possession time left.

 

maybe Needham missing a FT few seconds earlier temped him to try this way. even though in a do-or-die situation like that poor guy had less than a second to decide to score the easy 2 or go behind the arc and try the 3. but yeah with 8 seconds to go they should try the "other option"

 

but that was a very interesting game, Latvia was the better team but congrats to Montenegro. always nice to watch this kind of game in packed stadium. that's why I like this home and away format.

 

so now Puerto Rico vs Uruguay is the last important game in these qualifiers. let's see if Magnano can pull of a miracle or something like that. Uruguay was really poor against depleted Mexico but who knows maybe they saved something for this do or die game.
