The finals of it were due to be summer 2021, but obviously with the postponed Euro's that's been pushed back. Remember that WC 2022 is a winter World Cup. Ah yeah of course because it alternates with the two summer tournaments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,299 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 10 hours ago, DanFromDownSouth said: So 2022 World Cup, 10 groups winners of each group automatically qualify. The 10 runners-up plus the 2 best Nations League winners (that haven't qualified for 2022 or finished runners up in the group) then compete in a 12 team play-off system. Split into 3 groups of 4, a 2 legged semifinal then a single leg final. Winner of each final then qualifies (3 winners). Like to make it a bit complex don't they! Anything for a few extra TV games to make money. Completely unneccesary. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there's actually any more games played by individual teams with this format. It was a max of 12 games the last three times, it's a max of 12 games this time. It's been largely the same in the 21st century, I cba going further back. The only difference now is more teams qualify directly and fewer qualify via the play-offs, with a greater number of smaller qualifying groups.

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,489 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Player to look out for Youssoufa Moukoko made his Dortmund debut tonight as a 16 year old. His record for the under 19s is 44 goals in 17 games. He replaced Haaland who only managed 4 goals tonight. Link to post Share on other sites

So Dortmund actually petitioned the Bundesliga to reduce the minimum ages for playing to 16 years old.... specifically for this player. Dortmund registered him in their squad at the start of the season despite knowing he wouldnt be able to play for the first three months. Kid could be a star, his record at youth level is mental 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Good to see we weren't the only team to suffer with a penalty being touched twice this weekend. Fulham butchered a pen in very similar circumstances to ours. Link to post Share on other sites
