Argentina’s November window is going to be insane to watch. At home against Uruguay and then away at the Maracaná versus Brasil 🔥🔥🔥
I love you Ecuador! Defeating Colombia would be huge, Vamos!
Venezuela got a legit chance and im all here for it
This will be a painful qualification, we MUST win against Bolivia on tuesday and try to get into the 6-7 points at the end of the year. Not much more we can do than that being the less-worked team because of all our coach issues.
Argentina is gonna qualify for the World Cup in 2024.
For anyone interested, at this stage, 34 points will guarantee at least 6th and direct qualification. 32 points guarantees 7th and at least a playoff spot. At the other end, 8 points is needed to least obtain the playoff spot at the very minimum. These totals could of course change after next matchday.

What happened to Ecuador?
Venezuela going to the world cup? Is that happiness for my country im seeing? #TENGOFE
We were waiting since 2016 or so to this group of players to act together.
Our main chance is that Chile and Perú aren’t much more that what we are.
These are the 7 that will qualify imo
I’m scared for Brasil x Argentina next month
Con permiso 💅🏻
Tomorrow all Ecuadorians are lining up to apologize to Kevin Rodriguez
The world needs to see Venezuela qualify for the 2026 World Cup with two of their matches in Miami and Houston.
Reminds me off Trinidad knocking out USA on the last match day of CONCACAF Qualifiers in 2018.
Since the World Cup expanded to 32 teams (in 1998), CONMEBOL qualifiers have consisted of 18 match days in a round robin home and away format. Previously, the top 4 finishers qualified directly and the 5th place qualified to the playoff/repechaje. With the 2026 expansion, CONMEBOL slots increased to 6 automatic and 1 playoff.
Here is some data regarding the 7th place finisher in every qualifier since 1998 (except for 1998 and 2014 as Brasil was auto-qualified as previous winner and host and only 16 matches were played):
The average 7th place finish earned 21.2 points. The most points for a 7th place finish occurred in the 2018 edition by Paraguay with 24 points (GD of -3). The least amount of points for a 7th place finish occurred in the 2002 edition by Bolivia with 18 points (GD of -12).
Additionally, you can look at how many points it would’ve taken to tie the 8th place finisher - as you could advance with a goal difference above the 8th place finisher but with the same amount of points.
The average 8th place finish earned 18.4 points. The most points for an 8th place finish occurred in the 2010 edition with 22 points (GD of -6). The least points for an 8th place finish occurred in the 2002 and 2022 editions with 16 points (GD of -11 and -14 respectively in those years).
25 points would seem to be the guarantee for at least a playoff spot, but as low as 16 could be enough in a cycle where the bottom teams struggle.
One additional note for anyone interested: In the 1998 and 2014 qualifiers (16 matches without Brasil), the 6th and 7th place finishers averaged 1.28 and 1.13 points per match. Compared to 1.18 and 1.02 points per match from 7th and 8th place finishers respectively in “normal” 18 match qualifying cycles.
