Argentina is out of it

Not so presently my friend but on the verge of it! Still one match left for everyone with standings below!

If Argentina wins they most likely at worst can qualify as shown by beating New Zealand since Peru and Columbia play each other who are ahead of them! Plus Messi and Co must hope Chile doesn't beat Brazil!

I predict they make it but Messi seems worried!

Hopefully Paulo Dybala plays next match! Guy has been unreal for Juventus so far this season with 10 goals in 7 games!

 

[roguejuror]

Not so presently my friend but on the verge of it!

The Dutch must beat Sweden by a difference of 7 goals

Bye bye

 

[MrMonkey]

RJ, maybe the Dutch have spiraled downward of late but Messi won't let Argentina miss out on a trip to Russia!

 

[Tron]

Im speechless.

First time since 1986.

 

[roguejuror]

Fire that imbecile Bruce Arena, should have never been brought back

Kato must be fuming

MM la pulga was magical tonight, one of those special nights

 

[reno cool]

that's one of the teams I usually root for. Who we rootin for this year? Chile, Uruguay? Is the mouth still there?

Chile (FIFA world ranked 9) didn't make it but Urugary (16) did!

Yes he is and along with Cavani one hell of a goal scoring duo! Add Godwin is as soccer defender and emerging youngster Jose Gimenez and team could do well in Russia!

 

[Mudcat]

USA is out I hear. Eliminated by St. Vincent and the Grenadines or some damn thing. Or maybe it was Sao Tome and Principe.

East Timor maybe?

It was definitely somebody.

 

[Mudcat]

My lunchroom group was gabbing yesterday how Argentina has qualified. So that surprised me a bit, given this thread.

 

[roguejuror]

I was being dramatic Muddy, from the big teams the Netherlands and the United States did not qualify

 

[Mudcat]

Not sure if you guys are aware but Messi plays for Argentina.

 

[reno cool]

United States I don't know why they ever qualify.
Now Netherlands, that's a top team, they didn't qualify? that's an outrage

Exactly RC, quite surprising with the Dutch not there ..... but the USA IMO rarely are a contender but just a fill in team for the World Cup! Soccer just isn't in the cards for them even as naturally athletic as they are in every other sport!

I think the USA reaches their prime at this age and all down hill from there! We need a Pee Wee World Cup!

what you talking about mister monkey, the US is a big protagonist team, very few countries have won the World Cup but they are always a feature team of the tournament, them missing is a shock actually, as much as I been mingling in Honduras the last couple of years and am happy for them I surely would have like to see more the US there than Honduras
