The Daftest Lap (4-1) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

Madagascar are in front in Comoros*

*actually being played in Cote d'Ivoire

2-0 Egypt. They're probably confirming their place in the Americas today

Qatar just missed an absolute sitter

Egypt 1-0 up in Djibouti*. About to secure their place at the World Cup

*actually being played in Morocco.

...they drank it, didn't they

We've not been for 28 years and I'm absolutely desperate for us to be back there.

It's really fun to follow the journeys of the likes of Cape Verde and Uzbekistan reaching the Finals as well.

It's incredible. It's so compelling to see teams across the world trying to reach the pinnacle of the world's game.

Will never understand people who complain about the international break. It's football at its absolute finest.

Over in Libya. Over for Libya in terms of qualifying. Cape Verde get a chance to qualify on home soil instead.

Had the ball in the net at the end, but a somewhat questionable offside ruled it out.

Hey Jeff? Fuck off. Transgender people's right to exist isn't negotiable. It's a damn human right.

One more goal for them, or one for Mauritius, sends Cape Verde to the World Cup

CAPE VERDE ARE LEVEL. OH MY GOD

If this goes through like this: what a shite, corrupt fucking system.

Oh FUCK OFF

My God that was fucking TERRIBLE. Ball passed back, he went to pick it up and it ran through his legs and into the net

Libya's goalie's had a shambles. 3-2. Game on!

Bad news for them though is that Cameroon are ahead in Mauritius

Libya with AN ABSOLUTE THUNDERBASTARD. 3-1 and the qualifying today might be on hold for Cape Verde

What a fucking goal btw

Okay now I really want to hear this sea shanty

FIFA+ is streaming it. Free to sign up.

LIBYA BACK IN FRONT

Cameroon are 0-0 in Mauritius (at the fantastically named Cote d'Or National Sports Complex Pitch 1 ), and as it stands, Cape Verde are qualifying for the World Cup

CAPE VERDE LEVEL. Huge goal for them.

Cape Verde, who are on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup, and will with a win today, are BEHIND after 39 seconds. Own goal. 1-0 Libya

Made friends with people from Albania and Italy, Austria and Poland, Germany and Denmark. It was amazing.

That's what these tournaments should be about. Yet the World Cup won't get that because Trump is a fucking moron who hates anyone who's not Republican, white, Christian, rich and American.

I was in Germany last summer and made friends with people from not just Europe, but across the world. I drank with medical students from Austria, France and Germany, spent half an hour on a train chatting with two lads from Chile and India like we'd known each other for years.

Sounds a phenomenal time, that.

They completely do not get what makes these tournaments special. People from across the world coming together in peace, meeting together, making friends and enjoying the games.

Imagine pissing that away because of some man-made borders. Will never get that.

Finally the Scottish football/NHL crossover I've been waiting for

Also, it's wild that Qatar built seven new venues for the 2022 WC and aren't using any of them for this mini tournament

Random rant but it's kinda bollocks that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are hosting their qualifying groups entirely in this round of Asian Qualifying. Should've been at neutral venues. Could've easily done Saudi's Group in Qatar and vice versa, or hell have them somewhere like Japan, Australia etc

6-1 Blue Jays!

Let's goooooooooo
