What happened to Peru? Did the whole squad age out, they had done well the last two qualifications.

7 countries qualifying from a 10 team confederation is far too many.

Sorry for not having microstates.

We could have had suriname and guyana but they didn't want to get destroyed every match

I agree. It spoils a lot of the drama. It should have stopped at 6 direct spots. Forget the playoff nonsense.

Sorry for not having our own Islas Feroes, Moldovas and San Marinos.

Moldova is one win away from qualifying to the EURO

I don't know if this is a hot take, but they should have a cup for this. CONMEBOL is basically running a confederation league here, so first should get a cup.

wtf does 7 out of 10 teams qualify for world cup? How the fuck is that fair compared to teams in UEFA? LMAO uefa >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> rest

If Argentina don't win in Brazil, and Uruguay beats Bolivia at home, we'd finish the year top of the table

Dale Brasil, mantene la racha por unas fechas más

Having Venezuela in 4th is shocking!

Finally a WC in USA and Peru likely won’t be in It. Pain and suffering.

[–] LeavingCertCheat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Sorry but 7 out of 10 qualifying spots is a joke.

[–] eventhorizon130@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why don't they have 2 groups of 5? Also, do they really play 18 games?

[–] miaukat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yes we play 18 games, and league system are more fair, no coin toss to decide how difficult your rivals are.

[–] Maxkravenoff@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, you have to stretch up the qualifiers for almost 3 years. So you play against each other twice. It's probably the harshest qually for the WC. There are some very hot and humid places or places way above sea level, plus you get the intensity. I do believe second tier European NT would have a hard time making to the WC in this qually.

I do believe second tier European NT would have a hard time making to the WC in this qually.

That's not how it works, though. With an hypothetical same system, 33 UEFA national teams would qualify directly and 5 or 6 go to international playoffs.
Whether the stadia are very hot and humid or not just shuffles which teams it'd be, you still have the same number of teams.

[–] mangojuss@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Six teams qualify and one goes to playoffs?

[–] mangojuss@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Basically this qualification model is focused on finding the losers not winners
