This is How the Standings of the South American Qualifiers Looked: upcoming dates, analysis, and in-depth data on all the teams

(By Ortega and Cánepa) With the palpable excitement surrounding the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, the recent performances of the teams have left fans in a state of anticipation. Argentina, with its overwhelming 6-0 victory over Bolivia, has reaffirmed its leadership in the standings, while other teams like Colombia and Uruguay have experienced their ups and downs. In this article, we break down the results of matchday 10, analyze key statistics, and explore the upcoming fixtures, all with a reflective and debatable focus.

Summary and Tips

Key Points:

 

  • Argentina leads the table with 22 points following its 6-0 victory over Bolivia.

 

  • Colombia is positioned in second place, followed by Brazil and Uruguay, both with 16 points.

 

  • The qualifiers will take place in an expanded format for the 2026 World Cup, offering more opportunities for South American teams.

 

Highlighted Tips:

 

  • Stay informed: Follow match updates through sports platforms.

 

  • Analyze statistics: Observe the individual performance of key players like Messi and their impact on the team.

 

  • Prepare for the future: Consider how the upcoming match calendar will develop and its impact on the standings.



VAR: Complicating the Truth Despite Fanaticism:

  • Brazil was wrong in the previous match, with a clear penalty that was not called. Nevertheless, they won.

 

  • Argentina faced two marked incidents against them. The penalty with which Colombia scored the 2-1 was not a penalty. No matter how much one tries to force or politicize it, it wasn’t a penalty; it’s actually a red card for the Colombian player for simulating a penalty. The reality is that the match in Venezuela should not have been played. It’s literally not “the field is equal for both teams”; obviously, in a field where passes couldn’t be made, where every play was dangerous due to injuries, Venezuela gained an advantage to avoid facing the Argentine national team. Yesterday, VAR made another blatant error, disallowing a goal for the Argentine team, ridiculously for a half-millimeter positioning of a “skin,” something that should not be called on anyone.

Considerations for the 2026 World Cup

 

With the upcoming World Cup expanding to 48 teams, CONMEBOL will benefit from an increase in available spots. This means that up to 7 South American teams could qualify, drastically changing the dynamics of the qualifiers. The possibility of a playoff adds an extra layer of excitement and pressure in the final matches.

 

Tournament Structure

 

The 2026 World Cup will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, and will feature a format of 12 groups of 4 teams each. This new format not only increases the number of matches but also provides more opportunities for teams to showcase their talent on the world stage.

 

Conclusions

 

The South American Qualifiers are at a critical phase, and every match counts. Argentina continues to dominate, but the competition is intensifying with teams like Colombia and Brazil lurking.
