    I made the same thread earlier.

    CONCACAF is atrocious as always. Mexico has been carrying them for ages and I'm really baffled with the fact they have 3.5 spots considering there's like 6 teams in that continent.

    Africa again dissapoints.

    Mexican backs must be aching from all the carrying. They should just give mexico an automatic spot and let the Trinidad and USAs and Panamas of the world battle out for 1 spot.

    100% agreed. They sleepwalked thru the qualifiers playing mostly backups. IMO Mexico should just play their U-21's to make it fair

    Do you need to go back and see the video of Jose Hernandez crying on the bench when Meh-heecko wasn't gonna qualify? Do you need to see him jumping up and down like a little school girl after the USA granted Meh-heecko a stay of execution?

    You strawberry picker fanboys do a lot of talking for a team that was bailed out last cycle by Daddy USA.

    It is hard to ignore the decline of African soccer, tbh..

    From late 1990s to mid 2000s, Nigeria (Okocha, Kanu, Martins, etc.) Cameroon (Etoo, Mboma, Geremi, Songo), Ivory Coast (Drogba, the Toures, Gervinho), Ghana (Gyan, Essien, Muntari) those African teams were as good as any second tier European team and other South American teams not named Brazil/Argentina..

    Not anymore..They are simply not as many world class African players as there used to be 15-20 years ago..Not sure why..

    South america doing well. Even Peru could have qualified, played well enough just that they were WC virgins

    Sure semis might have 75% euros but remember those euros gonna have mostly african immigrants starting for them

    Africa is struggling and IMO its because euro teams are taking their best players and offering them citizenship to play for them

    They're playing in Europe now.

    Still loads of talent but poorly organized.

    Do you think the WC containing the US and Mexico every 4 years might have anything to do with the amount of MONEY FIFA makes?

    And you are baffled.... How about to gift a spot to the US? Ya think?


    But we are so bad they may have to give 5 spots.

    And you are baffled...

    sons the funny thing is that I ain't even hating on south america, I honestly like the technical quality, but some posters here are just blind to the deficiencies in tactics that negate any talent advantage. Smh switzerland was as good as Brasil at this world cup tbh..

    At what, fouling without getting called for it? They hacked neymar 10 times, got away with tugging Gabriel Jesus in the box and scored after pushing off on a corner, got away with the worst call of the tournament vs Serbia, they do t get out of a (weak) group otherwise

    Brasil wasn't great all time team or anything but at least tried to propose attacking fútbol, Switzerland played to foul efficiently and get lucky on dead balls. Tgats not superior tactics, it's luck and a kind whistle nothing else, same as England v Colombia, France v uruguay... Belgium deserved to win vs brasil they fought for it, the others did nothing better

    1. contenders take care of business vs small anti-play countries. pretenders don't. that's why germany, brasil and argentina are out. flawed teams.
    2. superior tactics implies judicious choosing of personnel. Brasil lacks a true classic 9 forward which makes it very hard for them to score against big/physical teams, which happened in ALL their games. You can't say it's luck when they consistently struggled to attack basic thugball tactics of clearly inferior teams (sans Belgium). It's a flawed strategy leading to bad results.

    also lol CALling out physical play, it is what it is and all teams play it, and Brasil thugged it out nice vs mexico and nobody batted an eye. As long as you don't go full colombia it's ok and that's life, it's within the rules. Also if you want to call fair play neymar had at least 2 yellow card worthy flops.

    Denmark/France send Peru packing.
    England sends Colombia packing.
    France sends Argentina packing.
    France sends Uruguay packing.
    Belgium sends Brazil packing.
