Egypt dumped out on penalties. And for whatever reason away goals still matter in Africa

Even NZ got a draw (1-1) v Italy in 2010.

So NZ has won Oceania as they should (with the Aussies in Asia). Have to beat the 4th placed team in Concaaf (looking like Costa Rica atm) in one-off match in Doha in June to go to the big dance.

Egypt got knocked out on penalties when all their players were being blinded by laser pointers https://juststream.live/TaylorHijackingEntrainment

Costa Rica confirmed, which is a tough enough draw. They screwed up the first part of qualifying and had to go on a long unbeaten streak to make the playoffs. Definitely beatable in a one-off game though.
I assume New Zealand are still very hard-working and functional?

The shenanigans that goes down in African football. Really killing the game but nobody has the gonads to really get after it

Yes, although the main strategy seems to be "get it to Chris Wood" in front of goal. Actually there are some young players who play in Europe who have nice touches.

Ah. Wood is a useful striker for that kind of team, he doesn’t need particularly good service to cause problems.
Playing in Oceania might work against you. Stylistically it can be hard to go from a lot of games where you’re big favourites to playing as an underdog.

Hadn't quite realised what a horlicks the Socceroos have made of qualifying.
Assuming they manage to beat the UAE they'll have to be at the top of their game to beat Peru.
Won't pretend I know much about the Peruvians, but as they finished above Chile and Colombia they can't be any mugs.

Yeah it’s awful. On so many levels.

As far as unacceptable things about this World Cup go, that's pretty low down on the list.

Ha, cool.
First time England ended up in Group G with Croatia, Tunisia and Peru; second Group H alongside Uruguay, Serbia and New Zealand.
Interestingly (or perhaps not, but anyway) both times the simulator placed Brazil and Germany in the same group.
