2022 Qualifiers - Other Games Thread (AFC & beyond)

So is Italy officially out?

As out as Bahrain

Yes. Portugal v North Macedonia is the next game.

Also this whole Russia thing has really benefitted Poland - they play a friendly tonight and rest players whilst the Swedes (who have just scored) or Czechs are playing 120 minutes.

Also in the Wales/Scotland/Ukraine section this now means they will be in pot 4 I think - even though the Welsh could potentially be high enough to be in pot 2 on their ranking but the qualifier final has been delayed till after the draw.

Wowww unbelievable, who would have thought Italy the Euro Champions of last summer failing to make it to the WC for the second consecutive time

[PEJ]

Wow Italy - they have been poor since they won the Euros.

They have no finishers. Could you imagine putting Mehdi or Sardar on that team. Lol

[Kavian]

Talking about disappointment!

My Italian neighbours are crying. I can't talk football with them anymore!

2 World Cups no show :-(

2006 - The last time Italy played a knockout stage game at the World Cup. They’ll have to wait until 2026 to play another. 20 YEARS. WOW

I watched parts of Iraq vs UAE match today. They were both terrible. Now that Iraq won, UAE should be motivated to at least get a tie in Seoul and hope that Iraq will not defeat Syria so that UAE could go to the playoffs vs Australia in June. Unfortunately, that is next to impossible unless Korea shows up as a whole different team on Tuesday (and UAE too). I think if Iraq defeats Syria (and that is far from a sure bet) they will go the AFC playoffs in June. Regardless of who makes it to the playoffs, I think Australia is the stronger team to win the playoffs by far.

Go TM!

You're both wrong - it was in Saudi Barbaria, they only announced the move a few days ago and Iraqis were really angry

Which made it even more impressive that Iraq beat UAE as many locals would favour the latter...
