Oh yea '58'
How many teams were there 16 was it !!!
Wales were lucky to be invited to get through by default.

Wales won their Qualifying game. You could apply the same metric to Brazil who were placed in a two team group

So no Italy at the WC, kinda hate that. Good game from James for Wales I thought, sizeable hand in the second and forced the keeper into one good save while playing very well off the last man's shoulder and keeping a very good defence on their toes ..

The best team of the 2020 Euros, not this year's World Cup tournament

Always liked Italy over say Spain/Germany and France ... going back to the seventy WC... with the likes of Riva, Rivera, Boninsegna, Mazzola etc

Yeah me too, one for the future in the right hands They were more concentrated on and concerned about Bale and Dan prospered.

Jeez if only we could afford a Bale....ahh well.

I also see DJ was through one v one and fluffed it again, proving he's not a CF.

I wonder why coaches think James is a striker

[Kennyb41]

Easy.

But he'll never be one.

I wonder why posters try convince everyone the same.

Canada through to Qatar! Gonna have a dram or two for that. Been waiting 36 years for this feeling.

Hearty congratulations to our neighbors to the north!

USA thrashing Panama right now (4-0), so it's looking pretty good for the USA to be joining the Maple Leafs there.

Pulisic putting on a clinic.

Thanks John! Would have loved to have gone through the final round undefeated to cap this magical run but it still feels monumental. Feared all along that they would find a way to crash out at the final hurdle but they closed the deal today. Very sweet and looking forward to cheering on my own country at this Cup.

I think the US was the best team in the group and qualification is merely a formality now. If they can keep getting better they could make some noise in Qatar. I'll be happy if Canada can score a goal or two, draw for a point, or maybe even steal a win. At least improve on 86 when we didn't score a single goal!

Very generous of you to say, but you guys mopped the floor with us when we played up north. You'll be fine in Qatar.

There are now substantially more kids registered to play football than hockey. It's been that way for years now but there was never any club structure to help identify and develop elite talent. MLS changed that and now there is even a domestic professional league. Canada is finally beginning to realize its football potential. I suspect we won't wait another 36 years after Qatar for our next appearance.

I saw that game differently John. Canada scored early and parked the bus. The game in the States was similar

This edition of the USMNT is sparkling with young talent full of energy. It just needs to be synched and unlocked. Bielsa could do wonders with that roster!
