World Cup Qualification - round 9

07.12.2021

Today we have the ninth round of the twentieth Dugout-Online World Cup Qualification cycle. All the matches kick-off at 18:00 GMT.

World Cup Qualifying:

Group A

Positions: 1^st - Slovenia (15 points), 2^nd - Malta (15 points), 3^rd - India (10 points), 4^th - Germany (5 points), 5^th - Czech republic (1 point)

Malta defeated India in the eighth round - an important win. India have a problem now. They need to win (away) against Slovenia in order to have at least a chance of catching up to Malta.

Slovenia vs. India India

Czech republic vs. Germany Germany

Group B

Positions: 1^st - Denmark (16 points), 2^nd - Latvia (13 points), 3^rd - Scotland (9 points), 4^th - Switzerland (7 points), 5^th - Bolivia (1 point)

With their latest win (against Bolivia), Denmark secured their participation in the World Cup. If Latvia win, they will be the other team from Group B to go to the World Cup. If they lose then Switzerland, and Scotland have a chance (though Scotland need to defeat Denmark, which is not all that likely).

Scotland vs. Denmark Denmark

Switzerland vs. Latvia Latvia

Group C

Positions: 1^st - Croatia (17 points), 2^nd - Estonia (7 points), 3^rd - Australia (6 points), 4^th - England (6 points), 5^th - Brazil (6 points)

We have quite a fight for the second place in Group C. Since Estonia skip this round, they need to hope that the results will go their way today (draw between Brazil and Australia, and Croatia defeating England).

Brazil vs. Australia

England vs. Croatia Croatia

Group D

Positions: 1^st - Portugal (8 points), 2^nd - Japan (7 points), 3^rd - Belgium (6 points), 4^th - Venezuela (6 points)

Group D has only one match left, and it will be played in two days time. Since Belgium defeated Japan, and Venezuela defeated Portugal, everyone still has a chance.

Group E

Positions: 1^st - Netherlands (14 points), 2^nd - Hungary (12 points), 3^rd - South Africa (8 points), 4^th - Iceland (6 points), 5^th - United States of America (6 points)

South Africa lost to Hungary in the eighth round and they needed a win. Since they have only one match left to play, there is no way they can catch the Hungarians. Netherlands won the other eighth round match (against USA) - they are the first team in Group E to qualify for the World Cup. Iceland and USA still have a chance ... just not a good one.

United States of America vs. Hungary Hungary

Iceland vs. Netherlands

Group F

Positions: 1^st - South Korea (18 points), 2^nd - Albania (13 points), 3^rd - Argentina (6 points), 4^th - Greece (6 points), 5^th - Bangladesh (4 points)

Albania did just enough to secure the second place, and will join South Korea in the 20^th World Cup. Greece won their second match in a row - it is unfortunate their first manager didn't do anything for them (even just a point from before would have kept the Greeks in contention for a bit longer).

Argentina vs. Bangladesh

Albania vs. Greece Greece

Group G

Positions: 1^st - Poland (21 points), 2^nd - Sweden (10 points), 3^rd - Finland (7 points), 4^th - Bulgaria (4 points), 5^th - Russia (1 point)

Group H

Positions: 1^st - Italy (15 points), 2^nd - Ireland (10 points), 3^rd - Lithuania (7 points), 4^th - Canada (6 points), 5^th - Uruguay (4 points)

Today is the last round for Italy. They are in an excellent position, but a win today would ensure they stay first no matter what. Uruguay are out. They again lost 1-0, this time against hosted Lithuania (Uruguay will need to do something about their attacking line for the next season).

Canada vs. Lithuania

Ireland vs. Italy Italy

Group I

Positions: 1^st - Turkey (17 points), 2^nd - France (10 points), 3^rd - Bosnia and Herzegovina (6 points), 4^th - Thailand (6 points), 5^th - Mexico (4 points)

Turkey are the first team in Group I to qualify for the World Cup. Mexico are almost out, anything but a win today would spell doom for them.

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Mexico Mexico

France vs. Thailand

Group J

Positions: 1^st - China (17 points), 2^nd - Serbia (11 points), 3^rd - Israel (9 point), 4^th - Moldova (4 points), 5^th - Slovakia (4 points)

Slovakia finally won in this qualification cycle, and with their win, they doomed Moldova to their fate. China won again. Their latest win secured their participation in the 20^th World Cup.

Serbia vs. Slovakia

Moldova vs. Israel Israel

Group K

Positions: 1^st - Colombia (11 points), 2^nd - Romania (10 points), 3^rd - Peru (10 points), 4^th - Austria (9 points), 5^th - Algeria (0 points)

Things changed in Group K. Austria and Romania drew in the eight round, allowing Peru to leapfrog them. Though, since Peru skip this round, they could be back down in third today.

Romania vs. Algeria Algeria

Colombia vs. Austria Austria

Group L

Positions: 1^st - Republic of Montenegro (13 points), 2^nd - New Zealand (13 points), 3^rd - Norway (10 points), 4^th - Chile (6 points), 5^th - Spain (4 points)

After two losses New Zealand rallied and defeated their direct rivals, Norway. Today is the last match for New Zealand - they need to make the best of it. Chile and Spain are officially out.

Spain vs. New Zealand

World Cup Under-21 Qualifying:

Group A

Positions: 1^st - Moldova (15 points), 2^nd - China (10 points), 3^rd - Germany (9 points), 4^th - Australia (7 points), 5^th - Canada (3 points)

A marvellous eight round match for China saw them defeating Moldova (2-3). China moved up to second. Germany drew (away) against Australia (1-1), and they dropped down to third. Since China won, Canada are officially out. Australia are also out. Even if they win today, and Germany lose, they would be at least a point behind by the end - China and Germany play in the last round - whoever wins will go to the World Cup.

Germany vs. Moldova Moldova

Canada vs. Australia

Group B

Positions: 1^st - Slovenia (17 points), 2^nd - Serbia (14 points), 3^rd - Netherlands (10 points), 4^th - Bulgaria (2 points), 5^th - Belgium (1 point)

Slovenia and Serbia drew in the eighth round. Since all that Serbia needed was a point, they will join Slovenia at the 20^th U21 World Cup.

Serbia vs. Belgium Belgium

Bulgaria vs. Slovenia

Group C

Positions: 1^st - Slovakia (13 points), 2^nd - Albania (10 points), 3^rd - Colombia (9 points), 4^th - Ireland (8 points), 5^th - Bangladesh (4 points)

Bangladesh lost in the eighth round, and they needed a win. There is no way for them to move up to second anymore. But, the other four all still have a chance. Albania could be in the worst position of the four. This is their last match, and even a win might not be enough.

Colombia vs. Slovakia

Ireland vs. Albania Albania

Group D

Positions: 1^st - Israel (15 points), 2^nd - Iceland (12 points), 3^rd - Japan (11 points), 4^th - Hungary (6 points), 5^th - Venezuela (2 points)

We have an interesting situation in Group D. If Japan win today, they have a chance of moving up. If Israel win, then they are safe. If they lose, then they could potentially go (after the last round) down to third (their goal difference isn't that great). Since Hungary and Venezuela lost in the eight round, they are both out.

Japan vs. Israel Israel

Venezuela vs. Iceland Iceland

Group E

Positions: 1^st - Algeria (13 points), 2^nd - Scotland (12 points), 3^rd - Portugal (11 points), 4^th - India (6 points), 5^th - Austria (3 points)

India and Algeria had quite a game in the eighth round. The two were equal in most things, even goals - the game ended 4-4. The draw did very little for India who are already out, but Algeria could have problems.

Scotland vs. India India

Algeria vs. Portugal

Group F

Positions: 1^st - Poland (18 points), 2^nd - England (16 points), 3^rd - Czech republic (4 points), 4^th - Spain (3 points), 5^th - Lithuania (1 point)

England won in the eighth round, and that was all they needed to secure their place in the 20^th U21 World Cup.

Poland vs. England England

Spain vs. Czech republic

Group G

Positions: 1^st - New Zealand (10 points), 2^nd - Malta (10 points), 3^rd - South Korea (10 points), 4^th - Peru (8 points), 5^th - Latvia (7 points)

Group G continues with great matches. In the eighth round, New Zealand and Peru drew (1-1), while Malta lost to South Korea (2-3). Today is Malta's last match, and they need to win. Even though they don't play today, chances are Peru will be out - if Malta and South Korea or New Zealand win, Peru can't catch them anymore.

Latvia vs. Malta Malta

South Korea vs. New Zealand

Group H

Positions: 1^st - France (11 points), 2^nd - Thailand (11 points), 3^rd - Uruguay (5 points), 4^th - Finland (0 points)

With their latest wins, France and Thailand qualified for the U21 World Cup. There is only one match left in Group H (in two days time), and there is no way Uruguay or Finland could catch them.

Group I

Positions: 1^st - Bolivia (14 points), 2^nd - Italy (12 points), 3^rd - Bosnia and Herzegovina (10 points), 4^th - United States of America (6 points), 5^th - Argentina (3 points)

Even though they only drew in the eighth round (against USA), Bolivia are the first team in Group I to qualify for the U21 World Cup. Today is their last game - a win would ensured they not only go to the U21 World Cup, but also remain first. Bosnia and Herzegovina are in an unenviable position. They skip today's round, and need to hope that Italy loses (which is also USAs sentiment). Argentina's loss in the eight round means they have no chance of catching anyone other than USA.

Italy vs. Bolivia Bolivia

United States of America vs. Argentina

Group J

Positions: 1^st - Switzerland (14 points), 2^nd - Turkey (13 points), 3^rd - Estonia (13 points), 4^th - Greece (3 points), 5^th - Mexico (1 point)

Switzerland lost for the first time this season, and it couldn't have come at worse time. Turkey and Estonia are both just a point behind them. And even though the two play against one another today, Estonia have a relatively easy last game, while Switzerland will be hosting Turkey.

Turkey vs. Estonia Estonia

Greece vs. Mexico Mexico

Group K

Positions: 1^st - Romania (16 points), 2^nd - Chile (10 points), 3^rd - Brazil (8 points), 4^th - Rep. of Montenegro (7 points), 5^th - Russia (4 points)

Their latest win ensured Romania will be one of the competitors in the 20th U21 World Cup. Since Russia lost to Chile in the eighth round, they are out. Republic of Montenegro still have chance, though not a good one. If Chile or Brazil win today, that will be it for Republic of Montenegro

Brazil vs. Russia Russia

Chile vs. Romania Romania

Group L

Positions: 1^st - Norway (19 points), 2^nd - Denmark (12 points), 3^rd - Croatia (7 points), 4^th - Sweden (7 points), 5^th - South Africa (1 point)
