Yup…saw it coming.

     

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Australia always had 1/2 a seat at the qualifications, it did not go thru tournament of qualifying, so it always to waited for playing the fifth of the south america, but since south america had have been given new full seat for the WC means there are 5 teams outta south america anyways, Australia had been given a chance to whether fully compete with north america or asia, and asia was it . thats an old story btw, it is decided a year ago

That is a lousy way of settling this. A country doesn’t qualify, so they move it to another continent? This is unfair for the continent of Asia, which already only has 4 1/2 seats and with Australia has even less representation. A better way is to move Australia back where it belongs in Oceania, and give Oceania one full seat at the expense of Europe or North America.

This was also the case with Argentina if they had lost against Ecuador they would be playing in losers bracket with teams of other continent(correct me if i am wrong) but now that tax dodging midget has finally scored for his team , Arg has qualified Tongue

USA lost to Trinidad, Iran qualified
I want Iran vs USA match for epic meltdown Smile

There is another lousy thing, Israel and Turkey come in Europe

Messi single-handedly carrying Argentina to World Cup.
And what a hattrick. Pure skill. No tap-ins or penalties included in this one.
First goal an attack he set-up himself from nothing.
Second goal, dribble past two defenders and place it perfectly past the keeper.
Third goal, dribble and classic Messi chip.

It has been 11 months since another player but Messi scored for Argentina lol.

Israel is mainly because of the Arab-Israeli conflict. If Israel plays in Asia, all the Arabic countries except Jordan, plus other muslim countries like Iran and Pakistan will refuse to play against them, which is why they placed them in Europe to avoid this awkwardness.

For Turkey, well half of Istanbul is in Europe and Turks consider themselves European.

Australia in Asia though is a weird one. Why not New Zealand or Fiji then?

Australia asked for a change, Oceania never had a full spot and they thought they would have a better chance in Asia instead of always playing the interconfederation playoff. Apparently if everybody involved agrees it’s possible to make that change.
New Zealand and other countries were glad to see Australia out since they had a better opportunity to go to the finals because Australia dominated the Oceania 1/2 spot. New Zealand even qualified in 2010.
Australia will still play the interconfederation playoff with Honduras this year, so funny how that turned out.
New Zealand will play with Peru.


Last night was pretty crazy in the world cup qualification

- USA lost to the worst team in the group with a crazy own goal and won’t go to World Cup for the first time since 86 or something like that.
- Panama will go for the first time but the first goal they scored in last night’s match was not even close to be inside the goal line…

- Argentina was close to not going but Messi finally stepped up and helped them
- Chile is not going at all after winning the last 2 Copa America
- Peru-Colombia match at the end both team started time wasting since a draw was enough for both, considering Chile and Paraguay were losing. There’s even rumours about Falcao talking to the Peru players to in the field to keep the draw.
