Thought there could be a place where we discuss all the qualification games for the 2018 World Cup in Russia that happen in the next few years from the CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, AFC, OFC, CAF and UEFA!

Too bad more of these aren't on TV over here. Outside of games containing Canada, no other country seems to be getting any sort of regular TV slots here. Surprised not even USA games are shown up here.

Just based on ranks, Costa Rica,Mexico,USA are the faves to finish top 3 and qualify for World Cup.

After 1 game, only upset so far is Canada over Honduras, all others had the expected winner,winning.

I'm right there with you. I'd love to watch the other confederations qualification games.

In terms of the CONCACAF no team really shined through in my opinion. Will be an interesting day Tuesday, especially when USA plays Trinidad and Tobago.

I just subscribed to BEIN sports. I saw quite a a few games over the last few days. Argentina v Brazil, Ecuador v Uruguay and the most entertaining game for me was Tanzania v Algeria.

We get a tiny break today and then back it tomorrow with more CONMEBOL, AFC, AFC and CONCACAF!

Can't wait.

I wish they offered Bein as just a couple channels where I am at but they don't. I have to upgrade to the super sports pkg which adds like 20-30 bucks to my bill.

Not any real big surprises yet with the powerhouses winning in the AFC and CAF.

China's struggles with Hong Kong have been a surprise. Two 0-0 draws and are in real danger of not making to the final round of Asian qualifying. Qatar and China were expected to easily finish top 2 in that group.

Yeah that is true. That and I am kind of surprised by Kuwait keeping pace with Lebanon.

I'm guessing USA not winning today is abit of an upset? Though those 2 extra points they should've gotten out of this game prob won't come back to haunt them,cause they'll still win the division.

Canada tied their game today. Would've been nice to get a win but still,2 games in,and Honduras is 0-0-2 while Canada is 1-1-0. Honduras is top 4 ranked in this tournament,so if Canada could manage to finish 2nd in this division,that'd be a huge upset. Still 4 games to go though,so anything can happen.

No more games till March 25th.

I would never look past T&T. I will take one point there as long as we can snatch up the 3 back home. I agree that USA should win the division.

I would like to see Canada do well, especially in a tough group.

The toughest group in my opinion is the one with Panama, Costa Rica, Jamaica and Haiti. Besides Haiti, all 3 of those teams can be solid.

Shame we just cant replace association football with international football all year round!

Re: World Cup Qualifying: The Road to Russia

Ya. Im only even interested in it when its national games. World cup,Olympics and stuff are what ill watch. The rest,not as interested. Feels better watching national games. Even bad teams,players giving it their all,playing with national pride,fans with national pride too. And games mean something since they're usually tournament games.

Re: World Cup Qualifying: The Road to Russia

I thought I was still watching Roy Hodgson's England today. They played exactly the same way.

Might? Can't imagine him NOT getting sacked after this

Re: World Cup Qualifying: The Road to Russia

Since he might get kindly asked to leave Rangers, this is perfect timing for Joey Barton - England player/manager.
