Anyone noticed the audacious backheel by some Argentinian in the build up to Peru's goal inside the penalty box? Any idea who that was?

Lots depends on Chile now. They're already qualified and if they lose to Ecuador then Uruguay-Argentina will be a direct encounter for the world cup ticket.

Yea, but even if they lose they get that play off safety net and a second chance with a game against some crap team that basically hands them a free pass into the WC even if they finish in 5th place out of 10 teams, I really hate the South American qualifying system, the 5th place team should just get knocked out or at least a harder game, say the worst second place finisher from Europe. But I prefer the former

If both Uruguay and Ecuador win, Argentina are out. 5th placed plays the play-offs and Argentina will be 6th.

the same crap team that hands the US the same free pass every 4 years, then maybe its concacaf we need to re-evaluate, maybe they should just play with south america

I know, but this is shit, they will scrape a draw and go through in 5th place! it just pisses me off that South America sends 5/10 teams through to the world cup, the play off game is a joke aside from last time the damn Spics always win...

I'm not complaining about the strength of CONCACAF teams I am complaining about how half of the teams in South America qualify, I take it you are an Argentine fan? No offense but under Maradona Argentina look as bad as the recent shitaly.

Well yeah, it sure is weird to do so bad and still go to the world cup, but quality wise there is no doubt imo that South America deserves 5 spots.

It's CONCACAF that has too many spots imo, compared to the quality of the teams there (Asia too). In theory both Concacaf and South America can have 4 teams at the World Cup, while in reality the difference is huge between the South American and the Concacaf teams.

if they draw they go in directly as theres no way ecuador will beat chile in chile by a 5 goal margin

you re not making any sense here reread maybe you meant to say something else


And no i am not an abiceleste fan, i have a soft spot for all boca players and want to see them do well.
As for those who want argentina out, i cant understand how you d want them to falter. you d rather watch an ecuador-england over a messi-ful argentina-england?

Yes but they can't take away spots from Continents that have a large # of more countries, the world cup is supposed to have a somewhat fair representation of continents football powers and even though the quality of play is lower in Concacaf and Asia a larger group of countries should get more spots for a more accurate "world cup". It is inaccurate how a continent with far fewer countries such as South America is able to get more teams in the competition than Asia and as many as Africa. Concacaf should not lose a spot because of the play offs we will only get three teams into this WC while South America will have five
