Yeah his goal was brilliant. Shame he's out of the Holland game.

I'm going to the Wales vs. Russia game. I'm not expecting much, just a good performance.

Is it only me that thinks the qualifications for the WC is just a bunch of bs? There are 9 groups in Europe and only the top team from each group qualifies, while the 2nd place teams have to have playoffs for the remaining four spots. WTF is that?

In the South American group there are only 10 teams and 4 of those teams qualify automatically, while the 5th place has a playoff with the 4th place from the Concacaf division.

I know FIFA has always had a soft spot for Brazil and they probably do this so they can basically qualify all the times without a problem, but this is absurd.

Anyway, this means that teams like France, Portucal, Russia, Sweden, Ireland, Ukraine, Turkey might not be able to qualify this year...just sad.

This is the format this year:

Europe (UEFA): 13 places
Africa (CAF): 5 places (+ South Africa qualified automatically as host nation for a total of 6 places)
South America (CONMEBOL): 4 or 5 places
Asia (AFC): 4 or 5 places
North, Central American and Caribbean (CONCACAF): 3 or 4 places
Oceania (OFC): 0 or 1 place

Europe should have 18 spots imo, while South America only 3. CONCACAFF and Asia only 3 as well, while Africa should have 4 with Oceania having a guaranteed 1.

I think South America deserve at least 4 spots, I agree Asia should have 3 at the most. Africa should not have more than South America, I think they should have 3 excluding the host nation.

I think Oceania now qualify within the Asian group.

What I would really like to ask for anyone who knows is about Scotland, they are in a smaller group than anyone else in the European section yet if we finish second it doesn't confirm our playoff spot because its the top 8 losers. Even though we play 2 games less than the rest of the European qualifying so how does it work?
