Its a 48 team tournament. The accomplishment is cheapened somewhat.

Why are Nigeria overcelebrating a 4th goal in a 4-0 trashing? They need to win by 4 goals to ensure a playoff spot

https://twitter.com/user/status/1978166200484925785

Due to this, Burkina Faso now hold the last playoff spot, DR Congo win and they're into the playoffs.

This Italy-Moldova match today should be fun. Italy's only real shot to avoid the playoff is to win by at least 12 today, given that Norway has such a big goal differential advantage.

Ronaldo's first ever international red card.

Portugal's qualification will have to wait.

France are the 26th team to qualify.

Italy kept their hopes alive with 2 late goals in Moldova. They need to beat Norway by 9 goals on Tuesday.


Hosts (3) - Canada, US, Mexico
Asia (8) - Japan, Iran, South Korea, Uzbekistan, Jordan, Australia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia
Africa (9) - Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, Ghana, Cape Verde, South Africa, Senegal, Cote D'Ivoire
CONCACAF (3) -
CONMEBOL (6) - Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia
Oceania (1) - New Zealand
UEFA (16) - England, France

A 6 team inter-confederation playoff in March 2026 will determine the last 2 spots.
Asia 9th -
Africa 10th -
CONCACAF 4th and 5th -
CONMEBOL 7th - Bolivia
Oceania 2nd - New Caledonia

Been a rough stretch for Ireland, but watching Ronaldo lose his head tonight was about the best thing we've got to watch recently lol. But, somehow, they can make the playoff if they beat Hungary in Budapest.

Ronaldo is likely to be banned for the first two matches of the World Cup itself. Three competitive matches is the ban for violent conduct, including elbowing.

He actually should have been sent off for violent conduct when Portugal played Ireland last month.

Ronaldo is living proof that it is possible to be both a great footballer, and a world class piece of human excrement at the same time.
