PSV cancelled, FFS

[PSRB]

I remember this lol but thought it was thrown out.

There’s two problems…

1. Chile, Colombia and Peru waited until after all of the group games had been played to raise the issue so put it seemed like sour grapes and a last desperate attempt.

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

I have a feeling they'll just ignore it.

On a South American note - interesting to see Utd fans gloating that their players have been called up by Brazil while our trio haven't.

Edu's pulled a smart one here (although I doubt Gabriel will make the final squad anyway, Martinelli probably will and Jesus is a cert)

On the flip side, I think ESR will miss out on WC place. Injury and cancelled matches have screwed his chances.

I don't think they can ignore it...then again, it's FIFA

Yep I think everyone missed the point on the World Cup this year.

I would say for your average manager has his squad already picked and it’s mostly down to whose fit and playing well.

The idea a player needed CL football to get in is a joke.

I think a real wild card for Southfail would be Balogun if he keeps scoring for fun.

At least on the standby list.

Wonder what odds you can get on Harry Kane getting an injury that rules him out of the WC tonight?

I refuse to believe the Brazza's have a better CH than Gabby. Brazza's attack like peak-Wengerball but know nothing about defending.

cf David Luiz {or even Santos though I liked him cos he never played for the Chavs.}

Who have they got as CH? 'Arrreee Magweereenyo?

[redgunamo]

In fairness, they're pretty well-stacked throughout. ANY of our lads can consider themselves lucky if they make the cut.

Fair play. I don't follow intl football but will give the Brazza's a quick glance in the WC if our lads are playing.

Who are their CHs? Anyone I'd have heard of? How did that coont Luiz win intl caps?

[redgunamo]

Right. I don't know who the current chosen ones are but they've got Marquinhos (not our one; chap at PSG), Éder Militão, recently joined Real Madrid but possibly injured right now, and Bremer who plays for Juve.

Also there's Roger Ibañez at Roma, often deployed at CB but also a DM, and that old geezer at Chelsea, Thiago Silva.

I do like our Gabriel (Magalhães) though, because he's a "southpaw".

Ah, ok. So they do have a few. Our Gabby's been incredibly impressive since he signed. I rate the fella.
