I told you something just felt...special about this year's Champions League. Just another amazing result in a year full of them.

Want: Ajax vs. Liverpool Think: Tottenham vs. Barcelona

In April 2018, CONMEBOL (South America) requested that the 2022 World Cup be expanded from 32 to 48 teams. FIFA President Infantino expressed a willingness to explore the idea. At first the idea was rejected, but would first discusss the idea with the host country; Qatar was receptive. Studies concluded that it was "feasible" to have a 48-team tournament in Qatar if some matches were played in neighboring countries (probably UAE). There was a fear that after this change, countries that lost the hosting bid for the 2022 World Cup could take legal action but they concluded the risk of that was low. FIFA and Qatar will discuss possible new 'joint bids' in June 2019 and a final vote will be taken on June 5th 2019 at the 69th 69 FIFA Congress in Paris. (facts taken from Wikipedia)

That was the thought originally but FIFA has since not confirmed Qatar yet and says 48 teams is still on the table. A vote on it will be a part of the upcoming conference.

The first matches for the 2022 World Cup Qualification have been drawn. Asia starts things off with their first round, the six winners of the home-and-away fixtures will advance to a 40-team / 8-group round 2 involving the rest of Asia's region. (^^ Added to the summer schedule above) FIFA sill hasn't decided on 32 or 48 teams for the Qatar World Cup, so most other regions have not firmed up how their qualification will go. CONCACAF for one, is thinking of doing away with the "hex" and coming up with a format that involves more of its teams in the final qualifying rounds. This will likely be decided in June after FIFA has their annual conference.

I have a soft spot for Liverpool because I live in New England and I'm a Red Sox fan and our owner owns the team, but if they don't get past Barcelona, I'm all for that Ajax upset.

What an amazing finish there between City and Tottenham. First Sterling wins it in the 93rd minute with a goal to make it 5-3 and then VAR comes in after everyone has been celebrating for minutes to say the player was offside. Incredible drama. Spurs win the tie.

They need regulations on the car that make them all more equal as far as horsepower before they go thinking about what new tracks Mercedes can dominate on.

:yahoo: I wish I had been right about Utd, but that was the biggest longshot for me. I watched a bit of the match yesterday and it seems like Fred was the only one putting the necessary effort out there at times.

Oops and I knew that too, I just for some reason had Sri Lanka pop into my head when I typed it.

True. The biggest shock was Bermuda making League A (they also are going to make their Gold Cup debut in 2019 along with Guyana), I expect some massive blowouts versus Mexico. El Salvador have had some down years, much like Guatemala but have had better results lately. A decade or so ago they would be almost equal to Costa Rica, Panama, and Honduras much of the time. Guatemala is only in League C because FIFA had a ban on them when qualifying began so they decided to just tack them onto League C to be fair when they really belong in B at least. Also, watch for Montserrat, known globally as a minnow. Remember they lost 0-4 to Bhutan in the "Other Final" in 2002 on the same day as the World Cup Final. It pitted the two worst ranked nations against each other. That ranking they have now is no fluke as they were legit during CONCACAF Nations League qualifying. They now field a team with many English born players that would never make their own national team and play on English clubs at the lower levels (not Premier League) so they now have more talent than many nations around them.

CONCACAF Nations League for 2019-2020 is set now. They will play group matches from September-November 2019 and the finals will be in March 2020. The format is much like the UEFA Nations League where the top teams from B and C move up and the bottom teams from A and B move down each season. The group winners in League A play in the playoffs.
