Syria had a player sent off, and had a great chance to equalize too. They were a tough team to beat.

Babel still exists?

Today Argentina will qualify for the World Cup

 

[Cerval]

Despite Brazil - Chile being the best match and Peru - Colombia being a good one, football fans will tune in to see Argentina do a 0 - 0 against Ecuador.

goal difference, then goals scored

should be applied in every competition.. if u had a bad day against ur direct rival, it does not need to haunt u all tournament.

Shame about Syria, was really hoping they would make it.

Chile, Netherlands and the US out. All three teams made it to the round 16 in the last 2 WC's.

What has happened to the Netherlands. Didn't they also miss out on Euro 2016?

They have shockingly mediocre players and had a terrible coach before Advocaat took over. I doubt anyone apart from De Vrij and Robben would get into the garbage Italian NT.

Robben just retired from the national team and he was the best player there by far. Sad state of affairs, Holland.

meh they seem like a bunch of pricks

So no USA, no China in the world cup. Viewership will be dissapointing. Then the next one in Qatar where sponsors will shy away......tough times for the global game.

Which 2nd placed European team qualified automatically?

Which 2nd placed European team qualified automatically?

None.

There are 9 groups with 9 2nd placed teams. Worst team doesn't have the possibility to play a play-off-match, they are automatically out.

Aah I thought it was the best that qualifies and the rest play play-offs. So which second place team did not make the play-offs?
