European Heavyweights Given One Last Chance To Qualify For 2022 World Cup Through UEFA Playoffs

The past two European champions could have to play against each other in a playoff for a place at next year’s World Cup as a consequence of failing to secure automatic qualification this week.

Both Italy, who won the continental title in July, and Portugal, who were winners of Euro 2016, will be on tenterhooks as they await the outcome of the draw for the March playoffs for the 12 European countries who remain in contention for three places at the World Cup.

Canada 2, Mexico 1: The Snowbank Celly Heard Round The World

Canadá Castiga Dos Errores De Memo Ochoa Y Vence A México En El Iceteca

Los -9ºC que marcaban los termómetros esta noche en Edmonton terminaron siendo un factor relevante en la derrota de México ante Canadá, en un duelo válido por las Eliminatorias 2022-

Hacía frío, mucho frío en el Estadio Commonwealth, rebautizado como Iceteca ante las condiciones climáticas reinantes. Tanto que en muchas ocasiones los jugadores del Tri se mostraron paralizados, lentos en sus reacciones y, en el caso de Memo Ochoa, extremadamente dubitativos a la hora de intervenir.

Marcelo Flores Domina A Estados Unidos Y Clama Por Un Llamado Al Tri Adulto

El fútbol mexicano tuvo muy pocas alegrías a nivel de selección en el mes de noviembre. Y las que hubo vinieron en los pies de Marcelo Flores.

Se Excedió Un Poquito: Vidal Dejó Su Huella En La Cara De Félix Torres Y Complicó El Sueño Mundial De Chile

Arturo Vidal es un futbolista con un coraje y un ímpetu que son difíciles de igualar. Muchas veces, esas características le han servido para ganarse los aplausos de los fanáticos y hasta para convertirse en héroe regular de sus equipos y de la selección chilena.

Jamaica Just Got Concacaf’d By One Of The Worst Calls Of The Qualifying Campaign

The U.S. has had its share of misfortune in Concacaf World Cup qualifying matches. For once, the nonsense that goes on during Concacaf games went the USMNT’s way.

Jamaica Fans Brought A Whole New Meaning To Feeling Horny And I Hate It

The USMNT grabbed a point in Kingston, Jamaica, on Tuesday after a tame performance and 1-1 draw in World Cup qualifying against the Reggae Boyz. The real defeat of the day happened to anyone watching the game on Paramount+ that was forced to listen to 90 minutes of horns.

The Jamaica horns from the few hundred fans in attendance were relentless. A limited number of spectators were allowed into National Stadium Independence Park due to Covid protocols. 

Michail Antonio Smashes One Of The Greatest Goals Ever Scored Against The USMNT

At the time of writing this there’s no telling how the rest of the USMNT versus Jamaica in Kingston will play out, but it’s almost guaranteed what will live longest in the memory is Michail Antonio’s 100 mph howitzer from over 25 yards out to pull the Reggae Boyz level in the 22nd minute. 

It’s hard to fault Tyler Adams for showing him inside when the danger level is so low, and it’s impossible to fault Zack Steffen — the ball is in the back of the net before he can even get into his dive animation. 

No Coach, No Crowd, No Problem: Netherlands Redeem Team Clinches World Cup Spot

There was every reason for Dutch stress on Tuesday evening: The ghost of the failed 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign; Saturday’s calamitous draw with 73rd-ranked Montenegro despite leading 2-0 with less than 10 minutes to play; Louis van Gaal’s bike accident on Sunday and fractured hip, forcing him to watch this key clash against Norway from a wheelchair in a box seat; an empty De Kuip in Rotterdam after the country entered a three-week lockdown period with Covid-19 cases soaring.
