dcro 10,179 Posted May 23, 2019 #24 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Screw it, money beats enemies. Or maybe by "willing" they mean they tried to steal the whole thing from Qatar. NearPup 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 13,258 Posted May 23, 2019 #28 Share Posted May 23, 2019 so no world cup for us... again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted May 23, 2019 #29 Share Posted May 23, 2019 With 32 the chance to see a debutant nation becomes very slim but one can always hope a random african team making it or Uzbekistan not choking for once. In south america it will be war with only 5 spots for 9 competitive teams. I still hope Venezuela can grab at least that 5th place this time. In Europe crazy as well because this time there will be one less place. No new nations with reasonable chance. I have a slight hope to see a return from Wales, Ireland, Austria, Norway, Turkey or Ukraine after a long time, but it will require help from the draw.
