Croatia has a great record against African teams, we've never lost to them except for one time and that was in the world cup final...

So qualifiers by confederation:

Europe - 13/16
South America - 5/6
Africa - 9/10
North America - 3/6
Asia - 2/9
Oceania - 0/1

So the final 32 basically ended up the same as before except Africa did better and Asia did worse.

My heart breaks for Iran. Man If i was in their shoes watching this game......

Just got a taste of bile in my mouth and a pit in my stomach. Whatever that game was it just isn't in the spirit of the game. Rules must be changed so this scenario can not happen again.

I do feel sorry for them, but then again, they couldn’t beat New Zealand. That’s who knocked them out. It’s their own damn fault.

Based off that, if we HAD to go to 64, I would do:

UEFA - 26
CONMEBOL - 8
CAF - 10+2
CONCACAF - 9+2
AFC - 10+1
OFC - 1+1

Graham Arnold gets his revenge for 1997 by effectively eliminating Iran after Iraq's 5:0 defeat to Senegal.

Pretty piss poor showing from AFC nations. Uzbeks were a real letdown I expected something from them.

Why did Algeria even try to s ore knowing if the won they’d play Spain rather than Switzerland? Fortunately they realised what they’d done and let Austria get an equaliser.

Very poor. AFC did well in the first round of matches but were generally rubbish after that.

Just watched highlights. That Austria Algeria game was mental. Did the arrange to have a very entertaining draw? Austria idiotic then save themselves like that.

Ironic Spain awaited where the tournament was. Everything came full circle.

England playing tournament football now after an impressive first game.

Oh Iran are out. Oh well, the cohort who support the regime can go back to doing that.

 

[JS96]

South Korea got totally dented in the end. A good early win then that. Saw shops in Seoul that had the coaches photo with a refusal of service notice.

 

[JS96]

So only 1 team on 3 points advanced. Shows how tight and competitive everything became.

What a whirlwind for Iran. They thought they'd won a game for 60 seconds and then thought they were in for a minute as Algeria led. Oh well...

 

[JS96]

My fiance is Korean and she will be happy that they are getting eliminated lmao.

Korean fans are kinda going crazy right now. So sick of the corruption and incompetence of their FA. Most are hoping for a quick exit to force more pressure on them. People do not want the team advancing, they feel they will just embarrass themselves further.

Football Australia isn't based in Seoul!
