I am seeing ‘pre qualifiers’ being discussed again. My opinion is just because you’re from France doesn’t give you more of a right to represent your country than someone from San Marino. People saying it’d be good for confidence, the nations league already exists for that.

Being born in England, France, or Germany doesn’t give you more of a divine right to play international football than if you happen to be born in San Marino, Andorra etc, tired of these arguments.

Guam are the first team to be eliminated from World Cup 2026 roughly 950 days before the finals. Despite a valiant effort from the island of just 170,000 people they lost 3-1 on aggregate to Singapore. 9 more AFC nations' World Cup dreams will be over by the end of today.

A team I will always admire is Tahiti in the Confederations Cup, they knew they had no chance v Spain, Uruguay and Nigeria and so they decided to play their own game and played a high line, the rewards were there to see in the passion when they managed to grab a goal v Nigeria.

All you achieve by pre qualifiers is ensuring a few small nations get booted out and have no competitive football for 2 years, that only benefits the elite nations which isn’t what international football is about, it’s for everyone.

No big shocks in Asia however 2 results stick out. Malaysia 🇲🇾 4-3 Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 Thailand 🇹🇭 1-2 China 🇨🇳 A great fight back win for Malaysia in a massive game in that group and whilst China arent footballing minnows they are underachievers and this was a big win #WCQ

Brilliant stuff! One of these teams will compete in the Club World Cup, will New Caledonia be New Zealand's biggest threat in the 2022 World Cup Qualifying?

Reports that CAF (Africa) are going to implement their own Nations League. Looking at the early results of UEFA and CONCACAF so far, this could be a great move to improve minnow African football!

To score 41 goals for your country at any level is something to be proud of, to do it for Malta is extra special Michael Mifsud makes his final appearance for Malta tonight v Liechtenstein, a true minnow legend

Excited for the Euros? There’s World Cup Qualifying in Asia first. Lots of minnows involved, out of the World Cup race but still fighting for places in the Asian Cup! #WCQ

Cool story: Aiglon du Lamentin, a club from Martinique, are currently playing in the last 32 of the Coupe de France against Ligue 2 side US Orleans. Overseas French territory clubs play in the French Cup every year, score is currently 1-0 to Orleans.

Somalia’s game last night against Oman has gained a lot of attention. Despite them being ranked 197th in the world, the country has a huge fan base and has huge potential. We need countries like Somalia 🇸🇴 and Pakistan 🇵🇰 to stop being let down by their FA’s so they can grow.

San Marino v Seychelles ends in a 0-0 draw. A lot of people were rooting for San Marino but I’m glad that Seychelles travelled all that way and it didn’t end in defeat for them
