The Official "COME ON CONGO" Thread - Fight for Pot 3

[freak]

And, boom! This is what happens when you bring in Ayatollah-al Uzma Hojjatoleslam al-Soccer al-American, God of coaching, Bruce Arena, to "save" your world cup qualifying campaign.

USNT will never get anywhere unless they give up on these loser American coaches and bring in an international name to take charge. And stop focusing so much on physical play and teach the youngsters technique and tactical awareness early on.

Rant over.

US, Chile, and The Netherlands out...Australia vs. Honduras should be interesting.

[zereshk-ali]

I fancy Honduras. Australia, like the US, are massively overrated (mostly by their own fans and media)

Isn't Iran officially Pot 3 now? Teams below us in ranking come October:

Panama
Honduras/Australia
Korea
Japan
Saudi Arabia
Serbia
Morocco/Ivory Coast
Nigeria

That is 8 teams already qualified or with the open opportunity to qualify, and we will be above all of them in the next rankings!

Iran is a Pot 3 fellas! We can do well in this position. It will give our boys confidence! Just hoping we avoid Nigeria. All of the others below us are beatable, even Nigeria. They're just the toughest option in my eyes.

EDIT: I forgot about Serbia, hope to avoid them too!

My ideal group:

Russia-Peru-Iran-Panama

Some one please confirm it if it's true is a good news only Asian team in pot 3

Go use the FIFA calculator. It confirms it. All of the listed teams will have lower points than us in the next rankings.

United Staes of America, as we know it today, will not exist in 30 years. A Soviet-style collapse is coming.

[persian-eagle-13]

I think we still have a chance for Pot 3. After the playoff in europe few teams will be out and that will push us up to the Pot 3

[DJPedram]

Here is the list of teams in Pot 3:

Iceland TBD 2 or 3
Iran TBD 3
Costa Rica TBD 3
Egypt TBD 3
Serbia TBD 3
Japan TBD 3 or 4
Nigeria TBD 3 or 4
Tunisia or DR Congo TBD 3 or 4
Senegal or Cape Verde or Burkina Faso or South Africa TBD 3 or 4
