Have qualifying rounds for the smaller nations and we could have really exciting groups.

Europe always throws up a couple of utterly stupid groups. Spain and Italy- what's that about ?
Then there's England's group.....

Team that finishes in fifth place will play New Zealand in a play-off.
Final round of fixtures:

My daughter and her husband are in Peru and watched the Argentina game on a big screen in the town where they are staying
Said it was a brilliant atmosphere (unlike Wembley)
and they are looking forward to the decider on Tuesday night
I wish I was out there

I'll go with Colombia and Argentina winning, Peru and Chile losing, so Chile in 5th and Peru miss out.

Whoever finishes 5th have to play the mighty New Zealand in a playoff.
Would love to see Argentina not qualify, but not overly confident we would beat any of the other qualifiers anyway.

Would be so much better to have 2 tiers of qualifying in Europe. Groups of 8 with like 3 through, 1 play-off and 1 down would be awesome.
The 2nd tier could also play much more meaningful games and build, plus some of them would get to play England and the other home nations.

Although Venezuela have NEVER qualified for the world cup. They must be well-cheesed off
I almost added to my earlier post that I was surprised they only had four guaranteed places in this era of WC expansion. They have more ability and bring so much more to the WC experience than teams like Egypt or Slovakia ever do

The last matches have just finished.
Argentina predictably sneak in after being crap for several weeks, Chile and Paraguay bottle it, Peru make the play-off and will now play New Zealand.
Oh, and the yanks couldn't even make the play-offs in their group

Indeed, and to make it more fun, Panama's first goal in their come-from-behind 2-1 win over Costa Rica never actually crossed the line. If that hadn't counted, Honduras go to the WC, the Yanks play off against Mat Ryan and Panama stay home. Oh dear, such a shame, eh?
This is Panama's first 'goal'. Quite how it was ever given, I'll never know. A penalty, yes, but a goal? Well, maybe if it had gone over the line . . .
PS Take a look at the 2nd Trinidad and Tobago goal. The own goal is quite sweet too.

Was outside a bar here that had the CR V Panama game on and heard a massive cheer. The score was 1-1 before so assumed CR had taken the lead. Went inside to check it out and saw Panama were 2-1 up. Perplexed I checked the BBC live tables and realised that meant that the USA missed out. Marvellous scenes!

"The murder was widely believed to be a punishment for the own goal.In the UK, the BBC issued a public apology after its football pundit Alan Hansen commented during the match between Argentina and Romania that "the Argentine defender warrants shooting for a mistake like that", on July 3, a day after the murder of Escobar"
Couldn't remember that, is it wrong to think that's hysterical?

I would say that Ticos (Costa Ricans) are very happy that US missed out, they still haven't forgiven BILZZARD GATE.
