World Cup: World Cup 2026 - Pre Tournament & Qualifiers Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
I was referring to Saputo stadium but yeah Big O is tragic lol

Well, obviously you're expected to Build a New Stadium :D I'll be honest, I do not even remember posting that, and sure enough it's from over a year ago, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly about the freer environment for celebration there

Uzbekistan have been a fascinating Country to follow over the years - their youth teams have been getting better.

Good to see it finally paying off.

South Korea put themselves into a tricky spot with back to back home draws but you expect them to make it. Big win for Australia while Saudi dropped points away to an already qualified Japan. Australia look to have the upper hand but they finish playing Japan (h) and Saudi (a) so not clear yet. However due to their far superior GD if they can get any result against Japan they should be ok for automatic spot. China on the verge of already being eliminated
 
Iran qualify after a 2:2 draw to Uzbekistan, for Uzbekistan it was still a good result as they are one win away from qualification (UAE away and Qatar home their remaining fixtures)

Nigeria in BIG trouble after another home draw (1 win in 6); automatic qualification looks out of reach unless South Africa completely collapse, they can still make the playoff but the margin for error is thin
 
UAE score in the dying seconds against North Korea to keep their direct qualification hopes alive. They host Uzbekistan next matchday in June in a must win game, even if they do win its out of their hands as Uzbekistan would host Qatar on the final MD. Qatar cannot finish in the top 2 but still have a decent shot at the next round where two more teams qualify. North Korea eliminated

Another big result in Asia was Palestine beating Iraq, meaning Jordan jump into 2nd place for now. Iraq's loss also helps South Korea who only need 1 win from their final 2 matches to qualify. In that group it looks like a three horse race for 2nd spot between Jordan, Iraq and Oman
 
Amoura with a 2nd consecutive brace in those qualifiers

Amoyra for African ballon d’or, IDGAF, Po Pala doesn’t exist in my reality

Edit : hat trick and 1 assist
