  • UAE 1-0 up in a massive surprise.

    Now Iraq need a goal and an equaliser for S Korea.
  • edited March 2022
    It’s a smash and grab lead. South Korea have had pretty much all the pressure (graph below, green = home, blue = away).

    But UAE won’t care one bit.


  • As far as i understand it, both the AFC play off game and then the play off v the 5th placed team from South America will both be played in Qatar in June.

    But it was too hot to play a world cup then, so how are these games ok? Will they play them indoors?

    UAE hold on for a surprise 1-0 win and advance to the AFC play-off against Australia. South Korea hit the woodwork once in each half but couldn’t get the goal.

    Iraq are eliminated.

  • Senegal vs Egypt has just kicked off

    Game is free to watch on MolaTV - You just have to create a free account 
  • Senegal 1-0 Egypt... All to play for after just 3mins
  • Both Aribo and Lookman have started for Nigeria who host Ghana at the moment - 0-0 on agg at present
  • edited March 2022
    Ghana took the lead but Nigeria equalised 12 minutes later. Heading into HT now.

    Away goals count in WC qualifying so as it stands, Ghana would qualify at the expense of Nigeria.
  • edited March 2022
    Lookman getting lots of compliments from Nigerian fans on Twitter. He won the penalty that brought about their equalising goal.


    HT on both the early African games:

    Senegal 1-0 Egypt (1-1 agg - heading to extra time as it stands)

    Nigeria 1-1 Ghana (1-1 agg - Ghana qualify on away goals as it stands)

  • Lookman has been subbed. Heading into the last 10 mins and still no further goals in either game.
  • FT 1-0 to Senegal and heading to extra time.

    Still a couple of minutes plus added left to play in Nigeria

    FT 1-1. Ghana qualify on away goals and are the 21st team to confirm their place.

    Nigeria miss the World Cup for the first time since 2006.
  • Goalless in both European play-offs after 15 minutes.
  • FT 1-1. Ghana qualify on away goals and are the 21st team to confirm their place.

    Nigeria miss the World Cup for the first time since 2006.
    Knew you'd have that answer for me, thought it had been longer since Nigeria had been there

    Since they qualified for the first time in 1994, they have only missed out that one time (now two times).

    African qualifiers in 2006 were Ghana, Ivory Coast, Tunisia, Angola and Togo.

  • Senegal to take first, and they hit the crossbar.
  • edited March 2022
    Salah will take first for Egypt - in a change of tactics from AFCON where he was fifth but never got to take one.

    And Salah misses! Nicky Bailey would be proud of that one.
  • Senegal's second penalty is saved..!
  • edited March 2022
    Egypt with their second... also misses! Wide of the post. 0-0 after four kicks.
  • edited March 2022
    What the hell is going on with the lasers?

    Cheating bastards!! - Every time Egypt take a penalty they're shining on the player, when its Senegal's turn the lasers are on the Goalkeeper
  • Senegal score. 1-0
  • Egypt score... off the bar and bounces in. Just. 1-1
  • I thought the away goals rule was scrapped across football, didn't realise it was kept by some competitions.

    Ghana are terrible, no idea how they've qualified. Hope they're in England's group.
  • Senegal score again. 2-1.

    UEFA scrapped it for their own competitions but FIFA have kept it, for now.
