Thanks, Suity - that was a brilliant video.A good watch.
*powerThey've gone from 24 to 17 in the rankings since 2022.
Still killing it at 50.How good is Luka Modric? Just an awesome player.
Ummm… this is only the second time we’ve qualified direct out of AFC… we’ve gone to sudden death qualifiers the past 2 world cupsIt was more hit and miss back when we were in the Oceania conference because there was an all-or-nothing two leg playoff against Iran (1997) and Uruguay (2001 and again in 2005). Since then we’ve only had to win enough games during qualifying rounds rather than trying our luck in sudden death qualifiers.
Surely it's still easier than playing the fifth ranked CONMEBOL side.Ummm… this is only the second time we’ve qualified direct out of AFC… we’ve gone to sudden death qualifiers the past 2 world cups

What was I wrong about? We used to dominate the OFC and still had to play off against a South American team. Now we didn’t even top our AFC group and we’re into the World Cup. Just like I said.So you were wrong.
Just admit it.

Dude… the previous World Cup qualification…Surely it's still easier than playing the fifth ranked CONMEBOL side.
No he didn't. We previously had to playoff because we didn't win enough games. This world cup we did win enough, so there was no playoff.85 Baby proved that untrue. You were wrong.
What about it? If we did better in qualifying, we wouldn't have had to playoff at all. Just like we don't have to for the current World Cup.Dude… the previous World Cup qualification…
This comment was about when we do win enough games. No playoffs. I said nothing about when we don't win enough games to avoid sudden death playoffs, as was the case in the last two World Cups.Since then we’ve only had to win enough games during qualifying rounds rather than trying our luck in sudden death qualifiers.
Oh f**k off. Just once admit you're no smarter than any other dumb merkins on here.What was I wrong about?
