2. Peru already played their extra qualifier vs Australia and lost but throwing out Ecuador means they finish 4th and qualify automatically and Colombia should get a chance to do a qualifier….what do you do? Ring up the Aussies and tell them to play Colombia now for a place.

Messy…I suppose you have to go through…remove all of the Ecuador results so it’s like they never took park and then whoever finishes 4th and 5th in the recalculation you make them play a one off game for the final spot.

Have the match at the Emirates we’ve hosted Brazil-Argentina so this will be a doddle.
Based on the matches affected and if all resulted in 3-0 default wins, Chile would then qualify for the play-off spot....an amusing mess
