Absolute pointless game of football, anyone who pays good money to watch this shit needs to have a word with themselves. 🤷‍♂️ Even if it is WC qualifying.

FIFA really need to  make it interesting or at least "competitive" for the supporters, fuck this shit
Every affiliated FA are invited to the World Cup on a completely fair and equal footing. So many FAs accept the invitation that there has to be a qualifying process to whittle the numbers down. Geographic areas are already established so the member nations of each player each other in groups drawn fairly for a chance to play on the big stage once every four years.

If you think that FIFA should stop giving everyone a chance on the basis that some teams aren't as good as others then you're a moron. Norway's result shows that nothing is a foregone conclusion, presumably in your fantasy world England will always have an automatic place in the World Cup without the need to qualify in games you don't enjoy watching, but remember that on more than one occasion, we have failed to qualify.

So just don't watch it if you don't like it but don't be so entitled as to say that the matches shouldn't even be played.
 
 
Fully agree with this. Andorra have every right to play us and while they almost certainly don’t stand a chance, it’s a huge deal for their country anc their players to be hosting top countries like England, Spain, Germany, France, Italy etc. 
it’s good for their economy, their FA and football as a game for everyone.

My last count had 54 European countries trying to qualify 
At least a dozen of those should be in some prequalifying knock out games against each other to make up the last team in each group

Gank makes a great point. San Marino, Andorra and their ilk have every right to try to make the finals. This attitude of 'fuck em' really stinks of I'm alright jack' and has helped turn the champions league into a farce at times.
