Well that was a crap game. Think I might have shot my bolt having Mexico in top 4. Even though that pretty much puts them through.
Hope South Korea game is better.

FIFA World Cup team rankings have 6 teams worse than South Africa? Really. ?

Half that South African side looked 40+, but they were really poor.

Think, with FIFA expanding the number of teams and the likes of Cape Verde & Curacao being involved, there's going to be some high scoring games.

Too many teams in it. Maybe, a developing nations tournament would be the way forward for the smaller nations.

Not going to watch the WC as I detest that man Infantino. He's more corrupt than Blatter. I know it won't make a difference, but it's my way of protesting against the cost for normal folk to watch games. How the hell do people afford it, and why give the World Cup to USA, they don't even know it's football not soccer fgs.

Football by all accounts is growing at a rapid rate year on year in the USA.

To commentators in the USA, the word "football" is most widely used to refer to that ghastly gridiron game, so they have to come up with a different word to refer to proper football, which is why they call it soccer, though the word isn't unknown in the rest of the world.

{Ed001's Note - it is actually an English word, we used to use it to differentiate it from 'rugger'. It is actually a shortening of association football.}
