Day -220 WorldCup2018
As excited as I am about Toronto FC's next playoff round, I am also counting the days to this Thursday and the start of the last weekend of World Cup qualifiers. Honduras-Australia, Peru-New Zealand. They are fascinating match-ups. I've mentioned Honduras-Australia before but Peru-New Zealand. Peru. New Zealand. Playing for a place in the World Cup. They're so different. I almost feel like both teams should be in Russia. Peru, the gritty underdog South Americans who haven't played at a World Cup since 1982. And New Zealand, so far away. Do they really play football there? They go through the motions of Oceania qualifying every four years with the real goal being the intercontinental playoff at the end of it all.
It'll be a good few days.
