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.
