Slightly wrong spot for this comment but could FIFA please move the October window to late January?

September
November
January
March
June

This is much more evenly spaced than currently

The weather in January in many countries is too problematic

Fair comment.
I find the current structure so stop start during September to November.

Winter breaks in Europe, except in the UK when it's peak domestic season.

Another disappointing result last night...

It would appear Sri Lanka may be following Indonesia's footsteps and naturalizing players/picking players with Sri Lankan background. They did win with this squad too.

The Ireland soccer team done it for years under Jack Charlton and at one time they had more Englisg born players than Irish born players, and it still goes on today, but not in the same numbers.

So with a loss to Bahrain, what does this do for us in the group now?

Hard to imagine we finish above Saudi & Japan?

Astounding that we're still, somehow, second in our group, despite having played six third round world cup qualifiers and only walking away with one win to date. If we don't pick up two wins in the upcoming March window against Indonesia (in Aus) and China (away) then we can probably forget about qualifying through the third round. We really want to avoid the fourth/fifth round, if possible.

I slightly digress, but still a world cup.
If this happens it will show that FIFA has no morals even if they ever had any.

Zidane98 , if Saudi Arabia get the World Cup which looks likely, shouldn’t you be deleting nearly every post you’ve made in here?

If? They have got it.


I'll watch the Socceroos & Les Bleus but no other games, just the same as the Qatar 2022 farce.

I didn’t realise it was confirmed.
