This edition of world cup will be having some funny scorelines most especially in the group stage. You will be seeing something like 0:22
1:17, 9:0, 13:0 19:2 etc...

callthefred:
No Europe got 3 extra slots. If you check the rule of FIFA very well, your continental performance in last world cup always improves your slot for next.

Europe were at their limit, Morocco helped Africa and Argentina help South America gain more slots.

Gattuso is capping nonsense because Norway bested his team.

Norway with Haaland are in terrific form, winning all their 7matches.
So you can't blame Gattuso for his frustrations after Italy won 6matches &lost 1.

Anyway FIFA may consider expanding the WC from 48 to 64 teams to give EUFA more slots. & 2nd placed teams qualify for R/32 instead of this best 3rd place finishers.

GanagiBitrus:
Based on quality of EUFA teams, they do deserve it....
Like I earlier said, Italy that is in danger of not qualifying can comfortably beat most countries that qualified in other Federations.

This logic is pure rubbish!! People like you will champion the super league big clubs wanted organizing among themselves. My friend, this is WORLD CUP, not who can comfortably beat who. Win your games and qualify!! The Europe you are talking about still has 16 teams!!

Na so una type talk cho cho cho common south Korea comot Germany for group stage in the last world cup!!!!

PulaPower:
Even Canada, Mexico don qualify

Btw… Portugal never qualify?

Na King Ronaldo wan kill dem same thing almost happening with the super eagles.
When will those coach learn to play this young blood with so much potentials and let the older ones warm the bench.
Gonzalo Ramos and A brilliant Fabio Conceicao on the bench while agba Ronaldo dey play full 90minute for a qualifying match 😌😔😔

Jayhome24:
You mean Cape Verde qualified already and we are still fighting to qualify?

Eyes don dey turn me oo

*Pours him water 😂

cathodekazim:
Europe had 13 teams in the last world cup. FIFA added extra 3 to make 16. Is that not fair as compared 9 from Africa and other continents. This is world cup , not Europe cup. So many continents are in the world and not only Europe. Stop this slavery mentality

Thank you sir for this.

It is the World Cup and not an European Cup.

SpaceX:
Lord please may super eagles qualify, we anoint their soccer boot with fire and brimstone, goals shall be plenty in Jesus Christ our Lord........

this one that you anointed their boots with fire and bring stone, fire go burn that their legs o, they no go fee run, they no go feel move saf. We reject this your prayer

GanagiBitrus:
Right, EUFA deserved extra slots.

Italy are in danger of not qualifying, &yet they can comfortably beat most of the countries that qualified from other Federations.

Trash!

Why didn’t Italy easily beat the teams in their group?

All these colonial mentality elements.

Every continent deserves equal slots in a world cup.

dominique:
So FIFA added 16 extra slots and didn't give Europe any, now I understand Gatusso's frustrations. Anyways, you snooze you lose! Good luck to them at the playoffs

..16 slots is ok for them.. Europe is not only the country in the world.. other countries should have chances of qualifying and experience how world cup is

Iran?
Uzbekistan?
Canada?

GanagiBitrus:
Nothing good about the question.
If you have 2good teams in same group, only one qualifies.
The other will inevitably not qualify.

I think the world should adopt the south American pattern currently used in champions league, where every team is in a single pot. We play against each other, and the top 16 teams qualify. Dividing teams into groups ain't fair. Some get easy groups while others get very very hard group.

Omo!

Jordan?
New Zealand?

TallNigerian:
Omo, they do Europe strong thing

If Jesus tarries, I will be watching at least 2 of the world cup matches live in US/Canada. That's my short term goal and God will make it possible. Amen

Amen. May God grant your heart’s desire.

I can't believe Nigeria is not on this list 😳

Trendie247:
So why didn't they qualify if they are that good?

God bless You for this Amazing question.

Fekumzi123:
African plenty oooo, how come?
Europeans wants to laugh us, just those three countries is enough to win the world cup.
England, France and Croatia.

Amen and me

ivandrag0n:
Amen. May God grant your heart’s desire.

Thank you my brother. May God grant yours too. I appreciate you. Happy Sunday!

blowjohn:
Iran?
Uzbekistan?
Canada?

Are you shocked that they performed better that Nigerian's super eagles? if only super eagles were serious they would have been on the list too among Senegal, Ghana etc

GanagiBitrus:

That's why it is world cup not European cup. Europe is not bigger in size than most of the other federations and they have the highest slot because they have many countries some of which are just tiny islands.

If the coach don't play him, na problem. you know how problematic and dramatic Ronaldo is.

Finidi put us in the mess.

A coach without sense. You refused to field your best legs because you have a rift with them. Are they representing you or the 300 million Nigerians?
A good coach knows how to handle arrogant players.

After some people will be shouting home based coaches. Bunch of tribalistic corrupt individuals.

Nigeria shall appear in the final list in shaa Allah, Congratulations to the Naija Super Eagles in advance.
May Almighty God make it easy for Nigeria in the play off. Ameen

I get your point.
Though the problem is that they'll end up playing so many qualifying games, unless the New UCL League format is adopted, where you seed the teams into Pots & each country plays 2 or 4 matches from each seeded Pot, but all countries are ranked in one single group.

Right, FIFA will possible consider expanding the WC from 48 to 64.
The WC loses its flavour when the likes of Italy, Germany, France etc don't qualify.

No sir! Every continent does not deserve equal slots.
The domain of good football currently is Europe. I bet, you are Man U or Arsenal etc fan. Why don't you watch Nigerian or African league or any other continent league, aside Europe?

The WC loses its flavour if the likes of Italy, Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina etc don't qualify.

Qualify first 🤣

we go qualify no worry
