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

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

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
- A horse head in his bed or
- The fishes wearing concrete boots

Did I hear somewhere the Dutch have failed to qualify as well?
Yep. They and the Fonzie Divers will be missed.... by absolutely no one.

haha "Fonzie Divers" what a classic. Did I read the Italian fans screamed their nuts off right thru the Swedish anthem, urged on by the goddamn Italian team captain? STAY CLASSY, WENDYBALL.
Yeah qwhere as we just boo them as they emerge from the tunnel. Rugby fans! Always the classiest.....

Not really the same thing though is it.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Both are unacceptable to me. I was embarrassed a few years ago at Westpac when the French ran onto the park and the stadium started booing them. It's jsut rubbish.

But if it's in the RWC final all bets are off 😉 I have on occasion engaged in a boo welcome for the visiting team. It's part of home field advantage to let them know they have entered the lion's den

Sure, but there is a huge difference between booing the players running out the tunnel and screaming and yelling during their anthem.

Not to me, it's rude for the 'hosts' to do either of those
