FIFA World Cup qualifiers

[Rapido]

Paraguay, Argentina , Peru are the possible AW opponents, my error, Ecuador already eliminated.

[KiwiMurph]

1 all - Messi with the equalizer.

[KiwiMurph]

Messi scores again - Argentina lead 2-1

[Virgil]

According to the sporting bible that is the NZ Herald, as it stands we are facing Colombia (based on current scores)

[KiwiMurph]

Messi with a hat-trick - Argentina lead 3-1. What a player.

No wait it’s Chile!

[Virgil]

No wait it’s Peru!!

[KiwiMurph]

Confirmed as Peru. Surely preferable to Argentina or Columbia from an All Whites potential qualifying point of view?

Just not from a marketing sell out the tie game in 8 minutes pov

[KiwiMurph]

meanwhile USA choked and miss out on the World Cup. Aussie will play Honduras.

[Sneakdefreak]

My Chilean flatmate will be gutted. His team choked in the home straight. Now he knows what it's like to be a Warriors fan....

[Crazy Horse]

@sneakdefreak do the Warriors even make it to the home straight?

[Hooroo]

A bit of carnage regarding the Peru v Columbia match if true. South Americans seem to be level headed regarding their football so I don't expect much outcry.....................................................

What minute of the game was that in?
Wasn't clear in the video, and entirely unmentioned in the article.

Listening to Trtackside Radio this morning, apparently it was just after the equaliser

[NTA]

LOL they're worried about fair play or sportsmanship in soccer?

Next you'll say they've disposed of all their corruption.

Italy fail to qualify.

Sweden beat them.

I'd imagine the Italian coach will need some serious security detail.

First time since 1958 they haven't made the finals. They had a tough group - same group as Spain - but they have been pretty poor since Conte left to take over Chelsea.

3 second legs of qualifiers and all of them have finished 0-0. Both NZ and Aus games were 0-0. It's thrilling stuff ...

He's gonna have to pray very hard that he doesn't wake up with

1. A horse head in his bed or
2. The fishes wearing concrete boots

Did I hear somewhere the Dutch have failed to qualify as well?
