Free kick Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) 47 minutes ago, Cadeau said: I don't want to be in Qatar's group...I remember Spain and Italy vs the Koreans years back Here is further proof of why you dont want to be in the same group as the host: How have the host countries performed in FIFA World Cup? (msn.com) 22 nations have hosted the WC. Only South Africa (with 1-1-1 record) have failed to advance. EDIT.; The phenomena of the enormous advantage of the home side (hosts) is even more pronounced when you look at the U20 WC's. At FIFA tournament, when you are in group with the hosts, you are one of three teams competing for one spot. in any other group you are one of four teams competing for two spots.

(msn.com) Even South Africa, the only ones not to advance from their group, put up a more of fight than people expected. Mexico needed a late equalizer, they beat France (albeit an absolute trainwreck of a France team), and only lost to Uruguay who went on to finish 4th Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Count me as those who would rather not be drawn into Qatar's group. They would be my least-wanted choice, just ahead of France (mainly because I've already had the thrill of seeing Canada play France in the World Cup).

Jedi Ram Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Keep in mind Canada can get maximum points of 1504.00. With Draw, it becomes 1491.50... NO IMPACT : Sweden-Poland ; Senegal-Egypt ; Algeria-Cameroon Wins by 2 of any of FOUR teams [ for CAF it is in terms of winning 2 leg series, not win or draw or loss ] : If Canada draws, then we would need wins by 3 out of 4 teams to make into Pot 3. If Canada loses, well then Pot 4 it is. North Macedonia = Portugal eliminated and removed from Pot 1 creating a domino effect to rest of the pots. Ghana = Nigeria eliminated and Ghana would have less points [ 1st leg 0-0 ] Congo DR = Morocco eliminated and Congo DR would have less points [ 1st leg 1-1 ] Mali = Tunisia eliminated and Mali would have less points [ 1st leg 0-1 ]. In case of Tunisia-Mali draw and Tunisia wins in AET/PSO would still have more points than Canada even winning the last match.

Not sure if an AFC team has been pot 1 the last 4 times they qualified. It's just something with long odds that's happened! Props to whoever noticed it.
