This is the current standings of 3rd best teams. Turkey and Haiti need to win their next games against the (US and Morocco respectively) by at least 4 goals to stand a chance of qualifying.

Where did u get this?

JohnPortar:
Both teams have been eliminated. World Cup uses H2H and not goal difference. So even if they were to beat US by 20 goals, Turkiye would still finish 4th.

Goal differential before head to head.
So if Turkey beats USA 20 nil and one of either Paraguay or Australia lose to remain 3pts with Turkey then Turkey will go out, nope. Goals different before head to head. That's exactly what was about to pan out between Nigeria and Benin in the world cup qualifiers

ElevationD:
Did you read my comment with understanding, or you just wanted to be noticed?

Na you sabi!

Ibehchizzy:
please google is your friend
turkey has been eliminated even if they level on points with australia or Paraguay in 3rd place or even if they score more goals…
Fifa has a new rule which is head to head
They’ve lost to Paraguay and Australia on head to head basis
So there’s no way they can climb over any of them to third place even if they win their last game 10-0

Nope, goals difference before head to head.
None of the football websites has concluded Turkey is out.

Some of you just love blind arguement sha,

everyother team in Turkey group has 3points @least , if Turkey can't beat a paraguay they dominated with 78% possession

Turkey next match is USA for godsake naa US dem go kum beat 4-0 abi, Mr make dem score well well

Haiti no see any match win ... na hot morocco den go beat, score well well.

must you argue. smh

It's you gan gan that likes blind argument.
In football, you can never say never until it's over. As at December, everybody knows Wolves will be relegated. But it wasn't confirm until March when it was impossible for them to escape.
You can only rule anything out when it's mathematically impossible.
In football, we have seen 20 odds beats 1.08 odds many times.
.
And lastly what makes you think USA won't play their reserved team Knowing full well they have qualified.

Ragingthunder:
must you display your ignorance, it's based on head to head now

Goals difference first my friend.

zoomman:
They are forth in their group, only third placed best team will qualify after the normal 1st and 2nd in the group. Australia has already beaten them, then Paraguay. ,There is no way they are Beaten USA, with the way they are playing.

Has football ever taught you guys lessons. In football you don't say "there's no way".
We have seen where 20 odds beats 1.08 odds times without numbers.
.
Anybody is beatable in football if you don't turn up on the day.

maigemuu:
Thank you for this. The poster no no how the qualifications work... no team is eliminated yet till all rounds of games are played. 8 best 3rd place can still qualify to make the next round of 32

Spot on man

Mirasteel:
They should try better next time. I actually rooted for them but they messed up.

They are a very good team... Great mix of youth and experience, just like Portugal.

Sadly, they simply can't finish attacks... The Coach is to be blamed.

A coach like Guardiola or Klopp would have them topping that group easily.

Deldrax29:
Actually, they are. Go and see the rules. It's not about Goal difference. It's about H2H.

I haven't checked that. But I still believe in goals difference first. It was what was about to be used between we and Benin at the qualifiers. And more over no football sites has said Turkey are eliminated

Oshime on this one.

kiddaz:
Kalu dem no stand any chances and you know it. Who dem wan win there with the kind of expected points? Abi you wan use hañds dey carry ball enter goal for dem?

Kiddaz my friend, you and I know in football nothing is cast in stone. You and I have seen where 20 odds beats 1.08 odds times without numbers.
Talking about Turkey. I think they have just been unlucky with goals cus the two matches they lost, they outplayed their opponents but the goals refused to go in from hitting the bar and the resolute defending and goalkeeping of their opponents.

Well, you're right but, the way turkey plays, the chances are seriously slim. And I don't blame who writes them off, imagine losing to a team with a man down in the first half?

You go and make the findings chief. They are out based on head to head rules.
Good luck next time

Kalulu44:
They're not yet eliminated o, go back and make your findings

Kalulu44:
Na you sabi!

Na me sabi na.
Na you no sabi go put mouth. Simple calculation you fail waaaa.

Haiti Sak passé

Actually, in the two matches they lost. They were the better team. You can see it from their ball possession, shots and on target.
They're just been unlucky. The goals refused to come courtesy of the goal post, resolute defending by their opponents and goalkeeping heroics

I would have said something to you but bcus of ban. Some 15-20yrs ago. West Brom by December were also condemned for relegation just like Wolves. They eventually escaped it on the last day. Should we say everybody that said they will relegate are waste of time like you.
2014, Leicester City did same thing after been at the bottom of the table by January with no hope of escaping. They eventually did the impossible and escape, even going on to win the league the next year.
.
Does that mean people like you who already projected them for relegation that year are f**ls or a waste of time?
I know people like you who lost huge money thinking Spain and Portugal will route Cape Verde and Congo DR respectively.
What happened at the end? You already know, does that mean those ones too are waste of time arguing with?
You guys are kids who always think football is one plus one.
.
There's a reason football is round, cus it can bounce back and hit you on your face.
I hope you will be humble enough to admit what you learn from me today.

I never tell you say I wan bet. I just dey give you facts wey dey on ground. Turkey no lose those two matches bcus say dem no good. Rather "god of soccer" if there's anything like that wasn't on their side.
.
I didn't watch the Paraguay match but highlight. But against Australia, I watch the full match. Australia didn't play anything but was rather fortunate with their two goals against the run of play. But they defended with their life and their goalkeeper was exceptional on the day.
And from the Paraguay match, the only highlight they showed from Paraguay was their goal, apart from that it was Turkey all the way. But the goal refused to come.

My friend you don't have to be rude and insultive to air your view.
I didn't need to go check it, but I have confirmed it from one or two solid source and you guys are right.

But I still don't blame you guys but FIFA who continues to tweak and tweak the rules back and fro

Mechonu jare ! you have to go 15yrs back, no recent happen or what ?? and you think you have a point

2014, Leicester City did same thing after been at the bottom of the table by January with no hope of escaping. They eventually did the impossible and escape, even going on to win the league the next year.
nothing as to be 100% the probability both Haiti & turkeye are out is 91% thats enough to reach conclusion, the 9% room is on miracle

Does that mean people like you who already projected them for relegation that year are f**ls or a waste of time?

your instance is outdated,v

I know people like you who lost huge money thinking Spain and Portugal will route Cape Verde and Congo DR respectively.

gues what i just lose big money on sweden, netherland was the favourire buh i picked 2x what will you say now5

What happened at the end? You already know, does that mean those ones too are waste of time arguing with?

no one rule can rule out " offset/surprises in football, however logic works on probability

There's a reason football is round, cus it can bounce back and hit you on your face.
I hope you will be humble enough to admit what you learn from me today.

what will happen in football that eye have not seen, except something new happe, i have nothing to learn from you.

i will quote you when turkey & haiti go home, ma worry

[quote author=chidiokay post=139782283][/quote]Hahahaha, thank God you're confirming them with your own words.
In this life even if it's 2%, 5%, or 10% chance out of 100% happening, provided there's a chance and you can't right it off.
I quoted West Brom and Leicester, and to you they're outdated. I guess the Spain and Portugal's own are not outdated sha.
