Cape Verde qualify to the next round with zero wins and 3 points! Massive congrats to them for qualifying out of the group stage in their first ever world cup. From a group has teams like almighty Spain and Uruguay o.

Iran has pushed Algeria out of contention of best 3rd placed teams with their draw to Egypt. More teams with 3 points will get pushed out after the last group stage matches, not looking good for South Korea. All the best Senegal🤞🏽

Sad one there.... Welcome home
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by EponObi(f):
Algeria has only played two games now.

They still have a game against Austria. They only need a draw to make qualification.

Senegal has qualified; worst case for them, they will grab the last ticket for the best losers. DR Congo can comfortably beat Uzbekistan to make four points. That will place Congo among the top 3rd place teams. Same with Algeria if the secure at least a draw.

Mind you Ghana with four points already will join this 3rd place teams if the lose to Croatia. If they draw, Croatia will join the top 3rd place teams with four points too.

All African teams can still make it sha. Na Algeria have serious work to do. They won't find it easy against Austria.

Fingers crossed.

Current numbers 6-8 will be pushed out and replaced almost surely after 3 games later today. The only assured ones are number 1 to 5. I am rooting for Algeria and DRC to make the next round. which will imply 9 out of 10 african teams made it to the next round. DRC vs Uzbekistan and Algeria vs Austria . Algeria vs Austria do have history from the 1982 world cup. That game was what forced FIFA to ensure the 3rd/last games in a group are played simultaneously as Austria purposely played a draw with W/germany to force Algeria out of that world cup.

Algeria are yet to play their 3rd match brother. They only need a draw to qualify.
Re: Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Thread by Hemanwel(m):
What kinda misinformation is this? Algeria hasn't played her last group match, in which she has the possibility of finishing with 6 points. So, how did they crash out?

Iran has completed their 3 group stage matches, finishing with 3 points.
How can they knock off Algeria with 3 points already with a match still remaining for them to play?
People that can even have 6 points if the manage to win their last group match that you already sent them home?
I am surprised a super mod in the sport section analyzing football like this.
