@@MrThegreatuser I don't think so, now Asia also has 8+1 spots and they made the WC everytime from AFC with 4+1 spots. They will still probably qualify everytime and they can play teams at their level and improve instead of going back to winning 15-0 against amateurs which helps the team as much as a training session

List of mistakes: 1:50 - CONCACAF Round 2 is just 4 games each, not home and away 3:41 - 🇽🇰 Kosovo are completely missing from the UEFA qualifiers, sorry Kosovans! 5:05 - 🇪🇷 Eritrea have since withdrawn from qualifying 7:04 - Even though I say "they'll play each other once on neutral ground", the simulation shows each team play 4 games. The voice is correct. 9:34 - Final frame shows two Solomon Islands and no Ukraine. This is just a bug. Please let me know if there's anything else I got wrong! (not including things the simulation got wrong)

@smiis3149 6 ай бұрын

Solomon Islands keeping a clean sheet against NZ is about the same likelihood as them winning the world cup lol. 100% attack, no defense, very entertaining to watch. New Zealand beat them 5-0 in 2022's playoff without really getting out of first gear Also, worth noting that out of the bottom 4 OFC nations, Samoa is far and away the best (beat American Samoa 10-0 the other day). Also, you mentioned that PNG have been improving but they're going through an incredibly rough patch in reality (lost 10-0 to Malaysia recently in a massive shock which has seen protests in PNG!)

@Me-ui1zy 6 ай бұрын

OFC unfortunately isn't doing a home and away game for round 2. Just 1 game against each team. Meaning the eventual qualifier will only play 5 qualifier matches. Which is insane. OFC sucks and is very corrupt tho, so this isn't surprising.

Unfortunately we seem to be completely unable to score goals as of late. Since beating the Solomons 5-0 back in March 2022 to qualify for the WC playoff against Costa Rica, we've played 10 games and scored in just two of those (2-1 W vs China and 4-1 L vs Sweden). Hopefully the promise of an automatic qualification spot means we get our act together.

Nah, they changed that this year due to concerns that teams would collude with each other. Now its 12 groups of 4 teams each. Top 2, plus best 8 third place teams go to the round of 32. Similar to how the Euros do it, but with an extra knockout round.

Actually for European nations, qualifying will be a lot harder than passing the groups. We need to be one of the top 16 nations in Europe to qualify, and the World Cup will have 12 groups and the top 2 plus the 8 best 3rd place teams advance. So if we qualify, there's a chance all we need to do to advance is pumping someone like Oman or Salvador.

I'm a Croat and I would wait before I bet on Croatia qualifying for the WC 2026. We are in serious troubles with forwards. We don't have a single world class forward in the new and middle generation either. That's Dalić's fault who pushes on the pitch and in the team only his favourites players who have privileges other players don't. Even if we would qualify, we'll probably fail already in the group phase. Dalić's contract expires in 2026 so this will be his end.
