Out of Africa, the final 5 will be decided this week, home and away games Friday and next Tuesday. Some interesting matches. Revenge for Egypt?
DR Kongo vs MarokkoUnsurprisingly, FIFA are making a mess of things regarding the draw, and I guess we could actually have a group with four UEFA teams in it?
Kamerun vs Algerien
Mali vs Tunesien

Ghana vs Nigeria
UEFA is all complicated by the War, Ukrania may play Scotland in June, if it is still standing or a country anymore.
Another international break, the last one with the final World Cup qualifying week, almost.
Asia is almost decided, South Korea and Iran qualify from group A, so Group A is done. Group B is interesting and it is between Japan, Saudi Arabia and Australia. If I understand correctly the top two are automatically qualified and the third will go into an inter continental match with the South America 5th place.

And the most Rockingest confederation is set for the most dramatic and rocking finale any Confederation could hope for. We are so rocking that they are somehow gonna fit 3 games in this international break, all the other weak and puny confederations only play two games, and CONCACAF is like ten time bigger than any other continent, the travel alone would kill any other confederation, so you can really see just how rocking we are in CONCACAF.Oceania is the rockingest confederation. FIVE games fitted in between March 17 and March 30! Cook islands and Vanuatu withdrew because of Covid 19 outbreaks in the squads! New Zealand only won 1-0 against Papua New Guinea, but as you say, will still win it.

So we have 12 second place teams competing for 3 spots. From what I understand, only single games ( no home and away) not sure how home teams were decided. Russian Federation of Footballers thrown out so Poland got a bye.

Never been a war in CONCACAF either, well except for that war that was actually caused by a CONCACAF game, but otherwise we just rock and love and peace, maybe smoke a bit of ganja, have a few Banks beer and then cram 3 matches in a week.
Canada needs maybe one point from those 3 games. As an example of travel distances, Canada will play in COsta Rica late Thursday night, then come all the way back to Canada (around a 22 hour flight direct) for Sunday to play against Jamaica, (Spring has ended and winter has returned here, so it might be a bit of an ice or snow game) and then back on the bike and row boat and back to Panama for Wednesday night. Kinda tough games especially since Panama and Costa Rica needs wins. Jamaica is already out and hopefully Kanada gets their point or points from that match.
USA play Mexico in one of the matches, I think a draw in that match would qualify Canada as well? USA actually have some tough matches as well and of the three (CAN MEX USA) look the most likely not to make it. Worst case scenario for Kanada is the intercontinental play off vs New Zealand. Panama or Costa Rica will be 4th. Again, this is all very complex and cant be understood, by non CONCACAFians.
Oh yeah, that Oceanai group I think is still going on and will be won by New Zealand at some point if not already won by them.

5th place.

I guess UEFA TV only shows games that are not Broadcast in your country. THey are showing either Wales vs Austria or Sweden vs Czech. The other two games are on TV here. Or maybe they are just showing the games with the UEFA Nations league teams involved?18 minutes in, Italy dominating possession, and some nice intricate passing moves. But the final product is missing.

Asia is almost decided, South Korea and Iran qualify from group A, so Group A is done. Group B is interesting and it is between Japan, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

And the most Rockingest confederation is set for the most dramatic and rocking finale any Confederation could hope for. We are so rocking that they are somehow gonna fit 3 games in this international break, all the other weak and puny confederations only play two games, and CONCACAF is like ten time bigger than any other continent, the travel alone would kill any other confederation, so you can really see just how rocking we are in CONCACAF.
Never been a war in CONCACAF either, well except for that war that was actually caused by a CONCACAF game, but otherwise we just rock and love and peace, maybe smoke a bit of ganja, have a few Banks beer and then cram 3 matches in a week.
Canada needs maybe one point from those 3 games. As an example of travel distances, Canada will play in COsta Rica late Thursday night, then come all the way back to Canada (around a 22 hour flight direct) for Sunday to play against Jamaica, (Spring has ended and winter has returned here, so it might be a bit of an ice or snow game) and then back on the bike and row boat and back to Panama for Wednesday night. Kinda tough games especially since Panama and Costa Rica needs wins. Jamaica is already out and hopefully Kanada gets their point or points from that match.
USA play Mexico in one of the matches, I think a draw in that match would qualify Canada as well? USA actually have some tough matches as well and of the three (CAN MEX USA) look the most likely not to make it. Worst case scenario for Kanada is the intercontinental play off vs New Zealand. Panama or Costa Rica will be 4th. Again, this is all very complex and cant be understood, by non CONCACAFians.
Oh yeah, that Oceanai group I think is still going on and will be won by New Zealand at some point if not already won by them.
VARobots call back a clearly offside goal again, VAR ruins what could have been an interesting 2nd half.
I dont like this Brazil team, not that they are bad, I am sure they could win the WC, they are just as good as the champions of Europe. I just find them an unlikable, ugly play sort of team. Argentina style almost.

Canada not playing Canadian Catenaccio, maybe Canadian Cattenaccio was never really a thing? Maybe they just were hanging on for dear life and got lucky defending? In the last two games I would say Canada is playing the attacking style they should be playing as their good players are mostly if not all attackers. Tejan looking good in this game. No Davies, but apparently he is back training at Bayern and may even be on the bench for Bayern next week.

Costa Rica leading 2-1 in El Salvador, which puts a bit of pressure on >the USA and Mexico.
Mexico wont lose, USA might, but if they dont, then everything is more >or less settled.

OK, last two days to decide who advances to the Desert WC.It will be UAE playing Australia.
Oceania who only get a 0.5 spot, will probably only get a 0.0 spot. WE all think it will be New Zealand playing Costa Rica and it probably will be that, but New Zealand only beat Tahiti 1-0 while Solomon Islands beat them 3-1, so if we can take anything from that, it may not be straight forward for them. They will be playing Costa Rica. The CONCACAF Rocking ride is over, the last day cant really see anything rocking happening, USA is not going to lose by ten goals or whatever they need to lose by to finish 4th and even if they did, they should beat Solomon Islands.
South America is kind of done, the half spot duel between Chile, Colombia and Peru should see Peru win and face the Asian 0.5 team, which will probably be Australia and one assumes the S American team-whoever it is- will win. I suppose there is some excitement for the countries involved to see who will play Australia, but it is like S America in that the 3 teams involved dont play each other ( I dunno, does that make it more Rocking?) Iraq plays the bottom team so maybe have the best chance of advancing, actually they have a good chance to beat Australia as well, so kinda Rocking, like maybe a Dire Straits or Cold Play concert, not really rocking though like a Deep Purple or Zeppelin concert.
UEFA and AFCON still have lots to play for and for the final day will be the most rockingest confederations. Portugal will of course beat N Macedonia, just like Italy and Germany would of course beat N Macedonia. Poland vs Sweden is about as Rocking as a Barry Manilow concert, ok maybe a Micheal Bolton concert. Poland have a bit of Rockingness left in them but Sweden is as boring as BYURK book case. I would have said an ABBA concert, but they rock more than this Sweden team.--- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32
AFCON has everything to play for because you never win a game in AFCON by more than one goal, that is the AFCON thing and that makes AFCON the Rockingest confederation. Away goals rule applies in AFCON, which eliminates any chance of any tie going to ET, except that I can see at least one or two going to ET. There is no Pharaoh curse in Senegal, I can see that tie going to ET, I could also see Ghana v Nigeria going to ET, though they would have to 0-0 it due to the away goals rule.
Not very Rocking here anymore, we went from sitting outside in the sun last week drinking wine and IPA's to looking outside our window at snow and -10C temps, drinking tea and deciding which mits and touques we are going to wear, about as rocking as a Justin Bieber concert- which we had in town here yesterday. Back in the city too, that kind of does not Rock either, though my wife thinks I lack any Rockingness cus I only want to stay hidden up at the cottage instead of being in town shopping and going to bars and restaurants, that just does not rock me anymore. Mont Ste Marie is only open on weekends now ( and only if they have enough snow) so this is a very un rocking time of year, all you can do is pick up old dog shit that has re appeared since the snow melted, cant even go for a bike ride it is so cold and snowy.
Ghana qualifies on the away goal rule.AFCON has everything to play for because you never win a game in AFCON by more than one goal, that is the AFCON thing and that makes AFCON the Rockingest confederation.

If it goes to a PK shootout, this will be interesting.

The final game of Asian qualifying to see who will meet Peru for the final spot- well except for the New Zealand v Costa Rica game or games- has just kicked off. UAE v Aussie a one off match played in Qatar, which seems a bit unfair for Aussie, then again, I just assume Peru will beat either.--- SBBSecho 3.06-Win32

UAE 0 - 0 Aus HTThe guy does have a vague resemblance to Felip|uo.
I did not know that Big Phil Scolari was manager of the Aussie national team.
