Team 21! Gakpo could have joined Manchester United. In an upset, the 40-year-old Real Madrid veteran was admitted to the World Cup

Team 21! The night that just passed, Ghana successfully secured a ticket to the World Cup and became the fifth African team to advance. In the European zone, an upset allowed the 40-year-old Real Madrid veteran to enter the World Cup. Two abandoned players from Manchester United both scored. Gakpo could have joined Manchester United.

Two groups in the African region completed the last round of World Cup qualifying. Egypt, which had already advanced in Group A, continued to win. Salah took a rest and did not play. After Ghana's small victory in Group I, it was enough to ensure first place in the group and successfully qualify for the World Cup. In addition to the previous ones Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria, there are currently 5 African teams participating in the World Cup.

After Ghana advanced, there was a crazy celebration in the local area. The enthusiastic fans even imitated Ronaldo's classic Siu moves, and the scene was quite lively. Watching fans from all over the world celebrating, I wonder when it will be our turn? In the next few days, there will be four groups that will be promoted. Senegal in Group B, Benin in Group C, Cape Verde in Group D and Cote d'Ivoire in Group F are temporarily leading the standings. As long as they win in the final round, they will advance.

Four groups competed in the European region. The upset in Group L surprised everyone. The Faroe Islands scored first, and although they were once equalized, they were able to take the lead again in the end, defeating the Czech Republic at home and winning three consecutive victories in the group. Although the Faroe Islands are only 1 point behind the Czech Republic, they will challenge Croatia at the top of the list in the last round, and the Czech Republic encounters a bottom team with six consecutive losses. It is almost impossible for the Faroe Islands to squeeze into the top two, but it is enough to reflect that there are no weak teams in Europe.

The defeat of the Czech Republic basically locked Croatia into the World Cup. Currently, Croatia has 2 games left, and the Czech Republic has only 1 game left and is 3 points behind, with a goal difference of 15 goals. Although Croatia has not yet advanced in theory, even if it suffers two consecutive defeats in two upsets, it is possible to advance with the goal difference advantage. Therefore, the 40-year-old veteran Modric, who has left Real Madrid, will usher in his last World Cup trip. Watch it once, less once, and cherish it more for veterans.

Austria in Group H conceded a goal in the 5th minute of stoppage time in the second half and suffered their first defeat in the qualifiers. With the same number of games completed, they were only 2 points ahead of second-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina. The meeting between the two teams in the final round may become a key battle to advance. Manchester United coach Rangnick was dissatisfied and bluntly said that Austria was too careless and their handling of the last few minutes was very unwise and quite stupid.

The Netherlands in Group G did not show mercy when facing their rival Finland. They achieved a four-goal victory at home. Gakpo, who scored two penalty kicks in the last round, was the icing on the cake and revealed a little fun fact before the game. Three years ago, Gakpo was once the target of then coach Ten Hag, but Manchester United finally chose Anthony. Gakpo could only stay in Eindhoven and join Liverpool six months later.

After the Netherlands defeated Finland, the latter had no chance to win the first place in the group. Both the Netherlands and Poland had two games left. The two teams met in the next round, which seemed to be a "Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain". However, the Netherlands is currently 3 points ahead of Poland, with a goal difference lead of 13 goals. If unfortunately they lose, it will be difficult for Poland to reverse the goal difference disadvantage. The Netherlands, the uncrowned king, should only be a matter of time before qualifying for the World Cup.

Scotland and Denmark in Group C both won. The two teams have 10 points together. Denmark has a 6-goal difference advantage. There is no suspense for the top two. In the final round, Scotland faced Denmark at home, which was obviously the key to winning this group. Interestingly, fellow Napoli teammates McTominay and Hoylen have just scored goals, and the two abandoned players from Manchester United continue to dominate the European arena. It is worth mentioning that Spain earlier achieved 28 unbeaten games (within 90 minutes). The last defeat was caused by McTominay scoring twice. Perhaps, Manchester United did not lack opponents in the past.

So far, a total of 21 teams have confirmed to qualify for the World Cup. In the next few days, 6 qualifying teams from Africa and Asia will definitely emerge. Including England, 4 European teams have the opportunity to advance two rounds in advance. The rest of the suspense needs to be revealed next month.
