Why are they so against Jamaica going to the World Cup. When the actual draw the last match it’s bias and and unfair. Like it was the plan all along. Why are they trying so hard to bring down our country. Even with the miss universe competition I just feel it that they set it up for her to fall. But what man can’t see yaweh our creator can see. I pray for my country and the people here🙏🏼
Kelleher is approaching world class.

Ah It’s a shame Ireland would possibly face Wales. Would love them both to have gone through.
It's a joke that CONMEBOL qualifies up to 7 countries out of 10 members for the World Cup!!!!!
UEFA qualifies less than 1/3 of their members, AFC as well, CAF even less, CONCACAF 6/41!!!!
As a neutral from Australia 🇦🇺,
I have a feeling that Italy 🇮🇹 will have PTSD yet again and is going to miss out in their bracket. Wales 🏴 to qualify from Path A for two consecutive World Cups.
Poland 🇵🇱 are the Play-off merchants and will qualify in Path B.
In Path C, Turkiye 🇹🇷 and Slovakia 🇸🇰 are unpredictable so I'm going with Kosovo 🇽🇰 too as the smokeys.
In Path D, C'mon Ireland 🇮🇪 👊
Denmark 🇩🇰 choked in their qualifying group so they only have themselves to blame.
A know a lot of people don't think so But I believe Scotland can still qualify
DUA LIPA is from Kosovo 🇽🇰, not from Albania.
Kosovo is just recognized since 2016 in FIFA/Uefa of course they didn’t make it to the World Cup
You’d think Italy is the only team playing…
I feel like you can already prepare the video about the surprising upset that sees Italy out of the World Cup for the 3rd time in a row
Sweden will not qualify. They are horrible these days.
I just wonder how Sweden can go to the play off they only have 2 points in group B ??
Doesn't matter how great the country did in the past. If the current team is in shambles and others have improved, they should be worried. It's better to lose in the playoffs than to get eliminated in the group stage at the World Cup.
Italy, Sweden, Turkey, Ireland
Why the first and the second should qualify and the third should go play off for a will make more money and host countries make more money from the visitors that’s not fare 👎🏻
Italy won the WC in 2010? 😂
It’s been on the walls since the 1990s when Italy always managed to scrape through games with lucky draws or 1-0 wins
I don’t recall ever Italy smashing teams.
Who would've thought these "Analysts" pick the most famous teams to go through lmao.. Kosovo will shock all of these people, not a single team in path C wants it more than Kosovo
Not one of those teams will be in the final. Italy are not who they used to be. I’m surprised Sweden made it even this far.
Jesus, the level of entitlement for italy. They need to earn their place like everyone else!
Denmark, Wales, Turkie, Sweden! Let's go
Italy dodged power houses. You are almost there.
Absolutely ridiculous sweden have gone through despite being last in their group and having less points than most 3rd place teams in groups, because why? Nations league if i read correctly. Unreal mate
Does anyone know how the home team is determined in a single elimination match?
This guy is so dumb! First he said Italy won in Africa 2010. Then he says the “22 teams that are left”.
Idk if I’m mathing wrong but if there’s 4 spots left that means there’s only 16 teams left. This guy should just stop talking.
How Sweden qualified?
Lack of knowledge on the subject is crazy
Path B is very balanced! Italy, turkey and Denmark are clear favourites
… BOYCOTT
THE U.S WORLD CUP !
BOYCOTT !!!
Quarterfinals should be in for Turkey.
I think Italy are a good each way bet to win world cup lump on 33/1
🇧🇦🇦🇱🇹🇷🇮🇪
3:17 "[Italy] won one World Cup in South Africa 2010"
🤦♀️🤦🤦♂️. This shows you the level of intelligence of some of these pundits. Everyone knows Italy didn't win in South Africa. In fact, they didn't even get out of the group stage because they finished last in Group F with only 2 points. Italy couldn't beat football powerhouses Paraguay, Slovakia, and New Zealand. 😂😂😂
13:27 she’s from Kosovo
4:00 you see how difficult uefa qualifiers are. The most difficult in the world to be honest.
If Italy qualify, they will cause chaos next year..
Spain won it on 2010 i think against Netherlands???
@4:00 The so called "culture" of football is as much the minnows as it is the historic top countries.
My country Pakistan. but my team is Italy I think 2026 qulifae word cup bettar balance squad.&i think Italy.polland.kosow.czek replick
