Venezuela got a legit chance and im all here for it

Bolivia 😔 I had some faith in them

I'm scared for Brasil x Argentina next month

Bolivia 😔 I had some faith in them

These are the 7 that will qualify imo

The world needs to see Venezuela qualify for the 2026 World Cup with two of their matches in Miami and Houston.

I'm glad Brazil isn't playing very well in the qualifiers. We need a reality check. Every time we do badly in world cup qualifiers we end up being champions, in 2002 we barely qualified.

What happened to Ecuador?

Is it even worth to have qualifying only for South America? Maybe it'd be interesting to connect it with NA

I love you Ecuador! Defeating Colombia would be huge, Vamos!

Si empataron con Venezuela de local, no me quiero imaginar lo que va a ser con Argentina el mes que viene…

Hacemos la histórica?

Honestly, i actually would find it amusing that the first time Venezuela qualify for world cup is not through playoffs but legit straight through to the world cup. It would be an epic way, the team that never qualified does it in one step of needing the play off. Man, i said it before qualifiers started but Venezuela are a team to watch because they may not be in quality terms with the bigger teams of South America but what they bring is the unpredictability factor because they just tend to do better in matches they shouldn't and can even at times make qualifiers entertaining due to them just messing up the table standings by trying to win a match haha. Honestly, off the first three matches where they fought head on Colombia and nearly got a point there in spite of facing the Colombia that as we have seen today is honestly playing really well, beat Paraguay and drew 1-1 with Brazil with these two showing that Venezuela have what can be called inner fire/fighting spirit to refuse to give up no matter what happens to them (the ruled out goal before the penalty vs Paraguay and the fact they didn't give up despite going 1-0 in a seemingly foregone conclussion vs Brazil and managed to get the equalizer) sorry for getting hyped but ngl, Venezuela feel so far like a candidate for making the world cup

Argentina's November window is going to be insane to watch. At home against Uruguay and then away at the Maracaná versus Brasil 🔥🔥🔥

In terms of results (not need necessarily quality of play), I give the following grades for this match day: -US grading system because I just got citizenship recently-

Argentina: B - Expected win

Brasil: D (possibly F) - Tie at home against Venezuela is essentially a loss for Brasil

Colombia: C - Very winnable match, should’ve put the match away multiple times.

Uruguay: B - stole a point in a match where they struggled. Getting a point in Colombia is never a bad result. Despite the struggle, it maybe was the justified result given the handball goal for Colombia.

Chile: A - Needed 3 points in a home match against a beatable opponent and got it done. Also, it’s a clásico.

Venezuela: A - Historic result in Brasil

Ecuador: A - Despite subpar quality, 3 points at altitude is always an excellent result.

Paraguay: C - Although a loss was expected, they never seemed to threaten. Must win at home vs Bolivia on Tuesday.

Peru: D - Lost a clásico. Looking like their November window will be extremely important (at Bolivia, vs Venezuela).

Bolivia: F - Lost at home against an unusually poor Ecuadorian side. Failed to take advantage of the uncharacteristic performance by Ecuador. Didn’t even salvage a point.

Venezuela going to the world cup? Is that happiness for my country im seeing? #TENGOFE
