March 29, 20223 yr Author 48 minutes ago, Jive Turkey said: Salah v. Mane for a spot in Qatar. This was kind of my point on Africa really losing out on some talent for the World Cup. They easily have the most brutal qualifier of any other country confederation. I would put UEFA next, with a slightly more forgiving 2nd place/playoff. And then it's likely South American, North America and Asia, all of which are tilted toward the better teams. Edited March 29, 20223 yr by Captain Ron
March 29, 20223 yr Author Half time in the first round of African games: Nigeria 1-1 Ghana - 1-1 agg, but with the away goal, Ghana is currently in Senegal 1-0 Egypt - 1-1 agg and totally level.
March 29, 20223 yr Not that I give a shit about Italy, but losing one game in all of qualifying and you're out seems pretty brutal.
March 29, 20223 yr Author Oh man and right as I flip back from Nigeria-Ghana Senegal just misses a wide open net, right back at the keeper! They should have scored that. Great cross by Sane.
March 29, 20223 yr North Macedonia would fit in wonderfully in CONCACAF. They would be a perfect replacement for Nicaragua, right ther along the Central American Ismus. Their diving & wailing is top notch.
March 29, 20223 yr Portugal finally scores. so many chances. Jota almost on a header, Ronaldo went wide. but Fernandes just scored. 15 minutes left in Senegal before PKs.

Frankly, they had 2 meh draws (both Switzerland games) and 2 awful draws (vs Bulgaria and at Northern Ireland). They only have themselves to blame.

March 29, 20223 yr I hate watching Egypt play but I also hate how Senegal fans have acted today. Would rather watch Senegal for 3 games in the WC though.
March 29, 20223 yr Author I've only been watching the last 40-45 mintues or so and all I've seen has been Senegal on the front foot. If they don't put one of these away and lose in PKs, they are going to be kicking themselves.
March 29, 20223 yr Egypt has played 7 straight games on the back foot and are a penalty shootout win away from AFCON winners and WC qualifying.

March 29, 20223 yr Senegal misses first PK. advantage Egypt. but then Salah misses for Egypt. skied it.
March 29, 20223 yr I’m glad that Pulisic has honed his penalty taking craft. I can see Gio & Ferreira also practicing PKs.
March 29, 20223 yr Pepe showing North Macedonia that he knows a thing or two about the dark arts as well. North Macedonia would be a blight on the World Cup. They are very anti-fútbol.

March 29, 20223 yr Morocco's goalie is done. dude suffered a head injury. they bandaged him up and let him continue, then he gets cracked again and is stumbling around. Edited March 29, 20223 yr by Jive Turkey
March 29, 20223 yr Just now, NorthLoop said: Bruno scores again. That was a sick finish. The whole series was beautiful from Pepe’s poke steal up to the final touch. North Macedonia is going Turbo CONCACAF. Fuck them and their feel-good story.
March 29, 20223 yr Morocco and Poland both go up 2-0. would take monumental collapses for both not to go to Qatar. Morocco doing this without Ziyech, who retired from the national team. he really doesn't get along with the coach.
March 29, 20223 yr Author Yeah, I don't see how either of these games flip now. So that's the end of soccer for me today. Until maybe casting an eye tonight.

March 29, 20223 yr holy shit. how did Cameroon not score? two point blank chances. Algeria goalie made 2 incredible saves, but Cameroon has to do better. Edited March 29, 20223 yr by Jive Turkey

March 30, 20223 yr Thanks. I'll stream telemundo since it's free. I don't think we have peacock. I dunno, we got our cable cut for us by Google Fiber a few months ago and I still have no idea what the fuck we got going on tv-wise other than AppleTV. I need to figure it out stat though, Better Call Saul coming back.
