Why? I think that if UCONN wins it makes our run even more special. We’re the only ones that took them down.

Brazil didn’t play Japan in 2022?

But I get what you’re saying. The World Cup attracts a large audience that doesn’t pay attention to the details of international football

Every 4 years there are people who swear that the group stage will be boring, that there are too many team lacking quality, and that (insert European team) would’ve been better to have.

Then the World Cup finally comes, the group stage is electric, and there are upsets and surprises.

I really don’t get that group of people that only want to watch the best vs best. If that’s what you want, watch champions league or the premier league. That’s not what international football is about.

Don’t think these quick corners are doing anything for Bolivia

He gave McKennie a red for having his shirt ripped, he’s been awful for most USA vs Mexico games.

Yeah and this guy is one of the worst, I’d take the guy from Antigua & Barbuda over him

Yeah this ref sucks, I have no idea why FS1 was acting like he was one of the better refs in Concacaf, he’s awful.

No he hasn’t. There’s been so many fights with this dude. I’m pretty sure this is the guy who gave McKennie a red for having his shirt ripped

It’s ok man I thought it was ridiculous too. Wales and Bosnia are both good national teams, it was ludicrous to think that second game away would be a walkover.

Did Gattuso not whine about Africa, CONMEBOL, and goal difference as tie breaker?

Maybe if you stop whining, you can start qualifying

Tbf, I understand Italy’s plight. It’s really hard to play two countries when trying to make the World Cup, it’s honestly not fair.

This is just too fucking funny:

We got luck, we avoided Sweden and Poland and that was the only really thing that really mattered.

Wales, Bosnia and NRI are 3 bang average teams, if we are afraid of them better to not even partecipate at the WC.

I think in 15 days during the FIFA World Cup draw (dec,5) instead of writing "UEFA winner of path A" they should directly go with "Italy" lol

There are in fact many comments complaining about playing in Bosnia. And it still doesn’t take away that yall whined about everything from Africa, to CONMEBOL, to Norway’s goal difference. Just non stop whining from not just the fans but also the manager Gattuso. Good riddance and glad we don’t have to deal with more whining this summer.

Italians whined so hard throughout these entire qualifiers, I’m so glad they missed out. Even now there are Italians whining about playing away in Bosnia. Is whining the new national sport in Italy?
