Is that why they dont like us so much? I've never even heard of "illyria"

These people are very on the edge. Balkans in general. They seem tense all the time

Psicodramma is coming

We don't even know if Uruguay and Portugal are going today

Would be hilarious to see Italy miss out on the World cup again.

If Italy miss out on the playoffs, i'd consider it a bigger upset than when Ventura missed out on it.

To go from Euro winners - taking into consideration the quality of the current squad and player at hand - to no WC is sackworthy IMO

It just shows the quality in Europe has improved. Spain could have just as easily been in the qualifiers along with Italy and Portugal. And the playoffs are much more competitive than before with just 3 teams out of 12 making it.

Argentina qualifies, being unbeaten 27 games, or 2 and half years.

Longest unbeaten runs:

1. Italy (2019-2021): 37
2. Spain (2007-09): 35
3. Brazil mid 90’s: 35
4. Algeria (current): 34
5. Argentina with Basile: 31
6. France 90s: 30
6. Italy 30s: 30
8. La Scaloneta: 27

Italy and Portugal drawn in the same qualifying path.

One of them won't make it to Qatar.

No Kommander or no Euro champions. Italy messed up big time but it would be a bit sad to not see Ronaldo in what would probably be his last NT tournament.

bye bye kumander

Portugal play at home. I think Italy is going out. What an embarrassment that would be

Change my mind: these sorts of things should be weighted by FIFA rankings.

We could have instead had:
Group 1:
ITA (6) - MKD (67)
POL (27) - AUT (30)

Group 2
POR (8 ) - SCO (38)
UKR (25) - CZE (31)

Group 3
SWE (18) - TUR (37)
WAL (19) -RUS (34)

I know everyone hates the FIFA rankings but tell me this is not more fair and leads to a better WC

Trust Italia to take it to the wire as per usual as they never make anything really easy for themselves as their post Euro hangover has been very apparent and the lack of goalscorer up front is so glaring it is bound to cost them.


Lets see if this sluggish Italia even go through Goran Pandev's Northern Macedonia but if or when they face Portugal I cannot for the life of me see Cristiano settle fo anything less than smashing them given it'll be his final world cup as either one going out will be a huge tragedy.

Worse for Italy as two world cups missed in a row is just a disaster on another level.

Ronaldo isn't allowing Portugal not to qualify lol. Expecting a Sweden 2013 esque performance.

1 more point and Canada is qualified

Who else is starting to feel the world cup fever?

Who are you supporting?

Is it even a question

Argentina > Italy > The rest

Wouldn't mind seeing Uruguay do a decent run again but first gotta qualify

Talk to me after matchday 17 if i have the fever or not

And just like that this reminder put cold water over any WC fever.

Holding this in Qatar is such a fucking travesty

They offered her to marry the agressor so she avoids jail but she already fled the country

Welcome back to middle ages. World Cup 1022

No smart phones just people living in the moment

We need to boycott that shit

I have no intention of watching it. Decided that some time ago.
