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.

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.

Not that I give a shit about Italy, but losing one game in all of qualifying and you're out seems pretty brutal.

Ballgame in Nigeria. 1-1 draw but Ghana advances on away goals.

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.

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. 

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.

Don't miss your 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.

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.

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.

Egypt has played 7 straight games on the back foot and are a penalty shootout win  away from AFCON winners and WC qualifying.

SENEGAL vs EGYPT

I’m glad that Pulisic has honed his penalty taking craft.

 I can see Gio & Ferreira also practicing PKs.

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.

Lol, this is the worst shootout I’ve ever seen

That was an awful shootout. I had a quick meeting popup, but honestly that was more interesting than watching Egypt shoot brick after brick.

Alien Vitiligo 

Rarely seen this far from the pyramids, but there have been sightings before. 

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.

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. 

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.

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.

Cameroon vs Algeria are tied 1-1 both with away goals.

holy shit.  how did Cameroon not score?  two point blank chances.  Algeria goalie made 2 incredible saves, but Cameroon has to do better.

Am I the only one that always cheers for Sub-Saharan teams vs Saharan teams? No idea why.

You prefer blacks to Arabs.

Is there a (free) streaming site where you can watch the group pairings on Friday?  I see it's on Telemundo, but assuming I'm "at work"...what's a good site?  

 

Telemundo.com?

 

I’m really shocked that Fox is so dumb they aren't Showing it.

Peru is up 2-0 at the half. Making this pretty uninteresting.

@Lobo I actually searched a bunch and only found this now - Peacock. 

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.
