If you can barely beat Moldova and you are getting pummelled at home to Norway, then you shouldn’t have a chance at playing the World Cup. The mere fact Italy are probably going to make it anyways suggests the opposite to being the ”hardest” qualifier.


If after beating the mighty Bolivia at home you then barely beat Peru (90th minute winner) draw at home to Venezuela and then lose the next three qualifiers to Uruguay, Colombia and Argentina you shouldn’t have a chance at playing the World Cup.

Every single one of those nations are ranked higher than Israel and Moldova and would piss all over them. 
 

Also, the three losses were shameful. But still 2,13 and 15 ranked teams in the world.  Higher than some European teams walking their groups. Uefa qualifier seems easy, and just for the record, so do the other qualifiers. Italy are just shit.

Hang on, who mentioned Israel?

 

Just pissing about :lol:. That said, maybe CONMEBOL teams are a bit over-ranked. I mean, Uruguay have played precisely two European teams this decade, losing to Portugal and drawing with, erm, the Basque Country.

 

No matter, I’d leave any argument about the relative difficulties of the qualifying paths to Kaiz’s TikTok. More interested in Yorkie’s point about qualifying in general which is becoming more and more pertinent. There do seem to be far too many matches and far too much travelling.

Don’t disagree tbh. I just think the whole Uefa qualifier is more difficult argument that has been surfacing the past week is ridiculous. Anyone not making a 48-team World Cup shouldn’t have any rights to complain. 
 

Excited for Curacao, Haiti and Suriname to make tonight btw.
