Tanzania, which has only qualified for 2 African Nations Cups, is now one win (probably) away from getting to the final round of World Cup qualifications.  Another reason I hate the expanded World Cups, the qualifying rounds are fun, if you pay attention.  And streaming, most of these games are now accessible.

ESPN+

To add, ESPN+ has Europe and Africa.  Paramount+ (which I don't have) has Asia.

CONCACAF and CONMEBOL are all over the place, seems like nobody has the entire federation rights here.

Apparently Greg Berhalter thinks a team that didn't qualify for the WC last cycle, can qualify with a B squad this time?
Probably, because CONCACAF is just really really bad these days.

ANC is arguably the hardest confed to qualify. 1 bad day and you are really screwed. Even in this new format its rough where the 3rd round is easier for the best clubs, you are shuttled into a playoff against what's probably a good team. 

Only prob w/ ANC is that its so defensive because you can't afford 1 slip up.

It's worse than the number of bids it gets, but that has always been the case.  On the whole, I actually think it is stronger than it has ever been in that #3-#8 range

got the 6 points. unfortunately gave a competitor for our spot 3 too. our core/best players are all so young, probably going to be like this rest of way. inconsistent. next window will be a big one.

Just 2 games.  Home against Mexico, road at Jamaica.  Big yikes.

Id feel a lot better of we could have earned a draw at Panama.  1 additional point, subtract 3 from them, and we'd be 6 points clear of the cut line
