The World Cup qualifiers continued, South America completed the penultimate round of the game, all direct World Cup places were confirmed, and three new promotion teams were added. After Europe ended many games, neither Germany nor the Netherlands could win, especially the former, and the promotion situation became quite serious.
There are 10 teams in South America, which adopt a home and away double round-robin system. The teams with the top six points directly advance to the World Cup, and the seventh place participates in the Intercontinental Playoffs. Just now, all the penultimate rounds were completed, and Messi scored twice, helping Argentina defeat Venezuela at home, and it was also the last home game for the King of Football. 20 years ago, Messi wore an Argentina jersey for the first time, but now he has received a jersey full of blessings from fans, which is sad and reluctant to leave. After the game, Messi said that it was his dream to end the last official game in this way. The Argentine Football Association also showed Messi's data, 194 appearances, scoring 114 goals, averaging nearly 0.6 goals per game, 28 of which were penalty kicks, 51 goals were scored in friendly matches, and 13 World Cup goals were also scored.
In the remaining games, Colombia and Uruguay defeated their opponents with three goals with the same score, Paraguay also got a draw, and with only one game left, all three teams received tickets to the World Cup as they wished, while Peru, who lost, was eliminated early. Venezuela and Bolivia will compete for a place in the intercontinental playoffs in the last round of the match a few days later, with Venezuela having a point advantage, and playing Colombia at home in the last round. Bolivia also has a high-level advantage in home court, with a plateau advantage, and playing against five-star Brazil.
So far, a total of 16 teams have been qualified for the World Cup, with 6 teams in Asia and South America each, 3 teams in the hosts and 1 team in Oceania. During the two-week national team match days, teams such as Morocco, South Africa and Egypt from Africa have the opportunity to advance to the World Cup early, and no new promotion teams will be produced on other continents. The European qualifiers are quite special. The top 12 groups of the group advance directly, and the second place needs to participate in the European play-offs. The first qualifiers start this week, and the six groups of the back 5 teams have already started a few months ago.
Germany in Group A and Spain in Group E officially started their first game, but the results were very different. Oyasabal, Cucurella and Merino made successive contributions, and Spain easily scored three-pointers away. Yamal's shooting skills were questioned by fans. Along with Nico, the young Gemini were both substituted in the final.
Unexpectedly, Germany lost to Slovakia two away goals with a ball possession rate of up to 70% and the number of shots is almost twice that of its opponent. Kros said that I believe many people don’t know who the Slovakian player is?
36-year-old Bowman from Hoffenheim served as goalkeeper, Havertz retreated after injury, Waltermad, who had just transferred to Newcastle, was the starting center, Kimmich was the captain, Sane was not selected, Germany seemed to have become a civilian team, and Wilz, who once became the top leader in the Premier League, did not have many outstanding performances like the European League semi-finals. After the game, coach Nagelsman was very angry and said that he did not want to hear any discussions about the team's strength. The whole team lacked passion, no fighting spirit, and no confidence to win.
Since there are only 4 teams in the same group, only the top spot can directly reach the World Cup, the situation is quite serious. It is slightly better than Italy, and Germany has no big disadvantage in goal difference. As long as you win all the remaining 5 games, you can almost win the first place in the group. However, if Germany cannot win another game, the playoffs will be waved in front of us.
Unlike Germany and Spain, the Netherlands in Group G has five teams in the same group and has already started the qualifiers. It has won two consecutive victories and faced Poland at home in this round. Lewandowski returned to the national team and became the captain again. Poland also changed coaches, ending a farce of discord between generals and coaches. Poland's spirit seemed to have returned.
Although Dumfries scored early, Poland still managed to score a point away with Cash's goal in the last moment. People found that the midfield and backcourt composed of Van Dijk, Van Devin, De Jong and Heraffenberg were of good strength, but they could only rely on two abandoned players in the forward line. Depp, 31, continued to perform well, gained an assist in this game, and the substitute was the older, 33-year-old Weghorst. The two seemed to be the choice of the Dutch forward.
Luckily, although the Netherlands cannot win, a draw is enough to top the group, and there is one less game. It can only be said that Poland and Finland in the same group are really not strong enough. In this way, the prospect of the Netherlands' direct access to the World Cup is still relatively optimistic, but with such a lineup, how can it face stronger opponents and how can it go further in next year's World Cup?
The European qualifiers seem simple, but because there are few games, it is actually very difficult. Perhaps as long as there are one or two "faults" it will be difficult to win the first place in the group and have to participate in the play-offs. Italy has a great chance of falling into the European play-offs for three consecutive times. What about Germany?
