If Austria and Denmark both win their groups this evening (both need a draw), the ONLY team in FIFA's current top-12 European teams that won't have qualified directly for next year's World Cup will be Italy.
Gattuso can moan about qualification being too hard but it was seeded for them to get there

Quite. The fact is that Italy were top seeded in their group and are still number one ranked amongst those teams.
Yes, Norway have been fast improving but still.
Also, Italy are far and away the highest ranked (read: theoretically best) team in the play-offs.
They have no excuse if they fail.

Never been easier to qualify for major football Championships.
Perhaps he thinks FIFA should follow the Eurovision Song Contest model and just put the countries with the biggest TV audiences straight through to the finals?

World Cup 2026: Is Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso right that qualifying is unfair on Europe?
Was Italy coach Genaro Gattuso making a fair point on places for Europe at the World Cup? Or was it just sour grapes?

Most still do it on bikes without electric propulsion although this is changing.
The problem with e-bikes over here is that they are much in demand for bike thieves.

I think this book has been missing from the sports data literature for years and it is brilliant that it has been finally written by someone I know.

The #BAFTAs Best Picture award was once considered one of the guides to the #Oscars but not so much in recent years.
In the last 10 years, only Nomadland (2020) & Oppenheimer (2023) have won both.
Producers Guild is 70% in the same period.
Conclave therefore remains an outsider for Best Picture.

For a double album Out of the Blue is sensationally good.
I have no time for the idea of guilty pleasures and all that guff. If you like it, you like it.
Also Lynne is the only one of the Travelling Wilburys not feted as a legend of the music business, which makes no sense.

Fin Smith and Sam Prendergast have both had fine performances this weekend but both have been given Player of the Match because rugby pundits like a shiny new fly half rather than because they were genuinely the best player on the pitch.
