We're into our first break of the season & some tasty world cup qualifying. Norway-Netherlands decently spicy through 10 minutes so far

edit - yeah my USA centric brain almost said "start of world cup qualifying" bc the dumbass Hex for CONCACAF starts tonight/tomorrow but y'all already have 4 games played

So a major tournament every year? How do you even handle qualifying for the next one at that point? Two weeks in October where you're gonna play 6/7 games and again in March in between your domestic/cup/continental ties? That's crazy

If this goes through I wonder how many players will "retire" from national duty or like... only play for the NT if there's guaranteed competition every year

I think only groups E (Spain/Germany) and G (Brazil/Switzerland) have clear top 2s? Everything else feels very wide open, especially what with the missing teams for whatever reasons

Might be a bit leaning here - but you don’t think group C has a clear 1-2 in France,Denmark?

Yeah, hindsight 20/20, that's also a good one. I'll be interested to see if Denmark can carry on from the Euro showing last year

Win group B & you get the runner up from A, meaning like... Senegal? A homefield advantage Qatari team? and then a QF matchup with... France, probably. It ain't no cakewalk

For anyone dumb enough to travel to Qatar for the WC, apparently they're not selling alcohol in stadiums during games. Only on the edge of a golf course a few km away from most of the stadiums/center area
