World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

I agree on the age point. Most of their best players are really getting older and it's starting to show. Especially that massively-experienced defence of theirs that was the backbone of the two Copa victories.
You just need to look at Bravo or Medel, and then check their last results on Conmebol Under 20's to know they are not going to replace this generation with the same quality, add to that for me Pizzi is inferior to Sampaoli and it is all explained.
 
Everything is going perfectly for Uruguay and Argentina. They'll both make it if these results end up like this.

Colombia should make it too, but Chile is in a lot of trouble. A draw in Ecuador-Peru is mutually assured destruction for both teams but if one of them wins they'll be in a very good position.
 
People are underestimating this Brazil side I feel.

They'll be in the final versus one of Spain or Germany IMO.

French will get knocked out by one of those three.

Absolutely. Brazil looks great these days. Back to their best.

I certainly am not one of those, I already had a disagreement with a German poster here on last Confederations Cup where I said for me the 3 big favourites will be France, Brazil, Germany.

If Deschamps doesn't improve the team I take France and replace them with Spain, Brazil is flying in these qualifiers, they are wrongly being associated with the 7:1, Tite is not Scolari.
 
Apparently it's about 109*F with sweltering humidity in Honduras for tonight's match. Yuck.

Update: Does appear to be a 4-2-3-1 according to beinsport commentators at the match (never trust ESPN FC commentators). Dempsey behind the main striker with Nagbe and Pulisic wide.
 
Yes, Falcao has scored a lot for Monaco since his return from injury, his time at United and later his departure from the Premier League.

But that goal really looked like vintage Falcao, when he was truly world class consistently. Minus the hairdo.
 
Bolivia 1-0 Chile FT

Chile in trouble. They'll need at least 4 points from the last 2 games and even then it might not be enough. This pretty much means Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia will be at the World Cup

And Vidal said before they played Germany they are one win from being the best team in the world.
