Happy Face 29 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Have you seen the table? http://stats.football365.com/intnl/trn/CONMWCQ2010.html Paraguay and Chile in the qualifying spots. Brazil and Argentina not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6307 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Wasn't it a similar story for the qualifiers for the 2002 tournament? Only for Brazil to go and win it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Have you seen the table? http://stats.football365.com/intnl/trn/CONMWCQ2010.html Paraguay and Chile in the qualifying spots. Brazil and Argentina not. There's four and a half places isn't there? Usually is anyway (top 4 plus a play-off with another region). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The argies had altitude sickness by the looks of it and the Bolivians were on the proverbial marching powder. The 6th goal was a screamer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) They have a class record in La Paz iirc. Bit like Luton Town and their astroturf pitch. Edited April 2, 2009 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they specifically play at some ridiculous altitude to help themselves out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick check on Fifa's site and the top Oceania team (which will probably always be NZ now) play the 5th Asia qualifier in a playoff. The top Oceania team used to play the 5th South American side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2929 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oceania should have their own qualifying spot if you ask me. Oceania doesn't deserve a qualifying spot, regardless of which countries are in their confederation or not. But the system of their fate being decided by a home and away leg against the 5th South American country was also a crock. The way it should be is Oceania is decided at the same time as the Asian first group stages and then the winner should join the other 9 or 11 depending on how it is sorted, for the Asian 2 group stage for qualifying. That way their fate is decided over 10 or 12 matches, not two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
