Federer91 2,134 Posted November 26, 2021 #673 Share Posted November 26, 2021 "FIFA will do everything to miss Italia and Portugal" they said I'm laughing and crying at the same time. But it's all Italy's fault in the end. They had 4 chances to qualify and fumbled everyone of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted November 26, 2021 #674 Share Posted November 26, 2021 My very personal predictions: Europe Path A: Ukraine. Austria is garbage, Scotland is vastly overrated with their average premier league players, Wales is very limited and who knows if Bale will even play. Ukraine on their day play really good football and also are surprisingly very good visitors. Path B: Doubt Russia or Poland will qualify (they play poorly). Sweden/Czech is a 51/49 in my view. I'm backing the swedes since they play at home. Path C: Italy and Portugal will win their semis easily. Hosting the final is a huge factor, so I'm betting Portugal despite the coach. That being said... I want Italy to win SO BAD just so there won't be the slightest chance of Ronaldo winning a WC before retiring. Intercontinental: AFC-CONMEBOL: Unless it's Japan that gets involved the Conmebol team will beat whoever. CONCACAF-OFC: If it's Panama I think New Zealand has a solid chance. Any other opponent (MEX, USA, CAN) and they lose. Would not write Jamaica out yet, they have good new english players, but they have to make too much ground after their slow start.

MHSN 3,168 Posted November 26, 2021 #675 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Fortunately we won't be in that playoff match but that was bad luck for AFC teams but I think Japan and Australia have enough experience against non-Asian teams. even though everything is possible in one match. it's not even a sure thing that Australia/Japan can beat the 3rd placed team from the other group.

LuizGuilherme 200 Posted November 26, 2021 #676 Share Posted November 26, 2021 If the 5th South American team be Bolivia I think AFC teams can qualify, otherwise it will be very hard konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshMartini007 2,203 Posted November 26, 2021 #677 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Avoiding CONMEBOL is huge for Canada's chances, obviously I'm hoping we finish in the top 3 to avoid it altogether, but it's nice to have a viable back-up plan. I'm very sad one of Italy or Portugal will miss the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny see you and @intoronto worried about Canada chances, I am quite confident that Canada will end the competition on first place intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got Mexico out of the way, but losing to Central American teams is sort of our jam. For example, Honduras has no chance at qualifying, but they can just as easily beat us and deny us three valuable points. Laraja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted November 26, 2021 #680 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'd say it's New Zealand who actually got the luckiest draw. Beating Panama might be enough. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
