Can't believe Colombia might miss out, I loved watching them play in 2014 and at times 2018

[santiagoch]

Peru started off in an horrendous fashion but have managed to survive til the very end, just one more win and Peru is in... let's see what happens

[Birick]

I am curious since host countries automatically qualify, does that mean that the United States, Canada, and Mexico will all be in the 2026 World Cup?

[Roman-yvye]

Who would have thought that 🇪🇨 Ecuador would finish 3rd

[BrokeBoyNoodles]

Peru got robbed but I still believe we will qualify, Vamos Peru carajooo

[miguel]

With the squad Colombia have, would be a shame to not make it. But Peru also deserve to go, and Chile is not so bad either.

[TheWumpus]

Both play very winnable matches, hope neither bottle it!

[ChainshawMan]

Argentina and Brazil are the Underdogs in 2022 world cup

[tendeitem]

Peru will beat Paraguay 2-1 and qualify through the play-offs...but wouldn't be surprised if Colombia or Chile sneak into 5th...

[davidvilla]

Colombia would’ve qualified if they had not lost their home game vs Peru on the 28th of January of 2022, even a draw would’ve gotten Colombia to the play off

[chrisespinosa]

These games already happened right? So Colombia is fully eliminated?

[Iron-Bridge]

Cool. Gonna be interesting to see who gets the right to play Australia for that World Cup spot.

[funrush]

Don't mind me but here is the full layout of how each team can enter World Cup Playoffs with their result on final matchday:

1. Peru

WIN- Peru are through to the World Cup Playoffs

DRAW-Has to hope Colombia and Chile fail to win their respective matches

LOSS-Has to hope Colombia loses to Venezuela and Chile fails to beat Uruguay

2. Colombia

WIN-Has to hope Peru fails to beat Paraguay

DRAW-Has to hope Peru loses to Paraguay and Chile fails to beat Uruguay

LOSS-Unable to qualify

3. Chile

WIN-Has to hope Peru and Colombia fail to win their respective matches

DRAW/LOSS-Unable to qualify

[MarcoPolo-sufc]

South American qualifiers are the BEST

[talkarg]

Peru is definitely better than Chile and Colombia, hopefully they qualify

[marcioaso]

The current format of the qualifiers defeat the purpose of the Copa America... just saying.

[justinwillness]

peru has 8 losses and still might qualify for the world cup lmaoo

[timmothylashawna]

The faded april excitingly fill because grade locally belong on a lowly trouble. holistic, obnoxious shrine

[rishbademha]

South America don’t deserve 5 teams. The whole continent is 10 countries. And outside of Brazil and Argentina. Not a single one of them would come out of Africas qualification

[goranvukelic]

today any strong team in Europe beats South Americans. In the world cup, the semi-finalists are always Europeans and the winner is a European. Argentina, Brazil and Ecuador They're good, but they're just a quarter-final against a European. Europe wins again easily.
