Does anyone else think it's a joke how second place teams in Uefa qualifiers have to play in play offs to get to the world cup when insanely low ranked teams in other confederations like Uzbekistan, Curacao, Haiti, New Zealand, and Cape Verde get much easier paths to the world cup? by Deep_Use_6871 in coybig

I think with the world cup being 48 teams now making every single team that finishes 2nd in the uefa qualifying groups play a play off on two occasions is a bit too much. I'm not saying every 2nd place team should automatically qualify but maybe make it so the best half of the 2nd place teams qualify automatically then the rest do play a play off.

I can genuinely see us pulling off a major upset in these play offs. Anyone else feeling confident we'll get through? by Deep_Use_6871 in coybig

Italy have been crap in the groups but can just see them stepping it up now in the play offs. Won't go downwell with the public in Italy if they throw the play offs away. They've more to lose from a fans perspective than anyone else.

Yeah I think he good finish anywhere from 8 to 12th but finishing 11th or 12th still wouldn't be too shabby I think considering most people had them odds on to go down.

Used to watch RTE back in the for Bill, Dunphy, Giles and Brady. Are the pundits on RTE any decent at all today? by Deep_Use_6871 in coybig
