    Even with expansion qualifying is no guarantee. Asia is much stronger than 4 years ago. And the extra playoff round if we finish 3rd/4th is rigged lol.

    Best hope is that Iranian can match energy of PP/esteghlal fans in Azadi. Too bad people care more about government run clubs than national team
    If we face Saudi at Azadi the atmosphere will be insane. The only roadblock would be our own federation preventing fans

          Ksa vs jordan for 1st place is good match to watch.
          Jordan with 1-0 victory wins the group.

            Some updates on World cup qualifying elsewhere


            Africa--> by far the most risky qualifying.

            Yesterday Egypt won again making them likely to qualify if they keep picking up wins vs the bottom seeds.

            Senegal got held by the DR Congo 1-1. Sudan winning has them on top with 7 pts. Senegal 5 and DR Congo 4 pts after 3 games. It would be an upset for the 2022 R16 Senegal not to qualify.

            Tunisia continued winning ways and are favorites to qualify this time.

            Mali and Algeria both lost. Mali now behind Comoros and Ghana, while Algeria only 1st by GD now.

            Today some big scheduled games like Ivory Coast- Gabon, Morocco- Zambia, and Nigeria-South Africa.

            North American qualifying is mostly a snoozefest without the top 3 and teams like Jamaica, Honduras, Costa Rica, Trinidad &Tobago are expected to keep advancing.


            From Friendly standpoint for the hosts, Mexico recently got beaten 4-0 vs Uruguay and are playing Brazil tomorrow. Canada lost 4-0 to Netherlands and will play France on Sunday.

            The US will play Colombia tomorrow night.

              Getting to the business end of the World Cup qualifying process in March and June.


              Some of the European games will start.

              African qualifying to continue for two matchdays

              Asia as we know will have two matchdays and possibly first qualifiers

              No CONCACAF this window

              South America's grueling qualifying to continue, looks more and more likely to exclude Venezuela, Peru and Chile.


              Will definitely see at least one team qualify to the World Cup this window.

              Ocean to have three game playoff with winner of the game on March 25th qualifying directly to World Cup.

              Looks likely New Zealand or Japan will likely be the first team to qualify.

                September is a big month for World Cup Qualifiers in North America, Europe, South America, and Africa. We will see several teams qualify this round and get a better idea of what possibilities for groups there are.

                Starting September 10th up until September 19th, VISA holders will be able to apply for a chance to buy regular tickets. Not sure if they will group it by city and/or national team yet but more information to come.

                  Does this mean we must have a VISA card to buy tickets? If so, f*** you FIFA.

                    For this phase in September, yes. The applications/draw after the World Cup draw is open to all.

                    According to different articles a VISA reloadable prepaid card is also eligible so not necessarily credit or debit needed.

                      Apparently, Trump talked about the World Cup a little while ago and confirmed the World Cup Draw will be at the Kennedy Center on December 5th.

                                According to FIFA page,

                                "Only valid Visa Credit, Visa Debit, and reloadable Visa Prepaid cards that use Visa Secure will be accepted during the Visa Presale Draw"

                                -----------------

                                so VISA Prepaid cards can work for this part of the draw. FYI It wont need a credit check its like a gift card you can add more money onto.

                                Still sucks they are doing it this way.
