Why are there groups where only one country qualifies to WC while other groups where two qualify?

yeah also had that ? today :D prob visual bug

I have the same question; I noticed this a few days ago. Can you clarify the situation? Because it's crucial time. Usually, two teams qualify.

Hello to all fans of U21 national teams!
As you know, the final round of U21 World Cup qualifiers is coming up this weekend. I’m really curious about your plans, your reflections, and what direction you’ll take next. Since I’ve just finished reviewing my own journey as the U21 manager of Magyarország, I thought it’s a perfect moment to share a little summary before presenting it officially to the Magyarország community next week.

Let’s start with the most important part: we absolutely dominated Group C.

Qualification from first place.
All matches won.
35 goals scored.
Only 2 goals conceded. (because why not make it extra nice?)
The young Hungarian players truly delivered fast, confident, and with style. If they keep improving like this, I’ll have to start wearing sunglasses just to protect myself from all that brilliance.

But what makes me smile the most is the national team ranking. When I took over the team on 23.09.2024 , Magyarorszag was sitting in 10th place with a rating of 2977.92 .Back then, the top looked like this:
1 Polska U21 3540.66
2 România U21 3290.77
3 España U21 3143.76
4 Turcja U21 3123.56
5 Bułgaria U21 3111.50
6 Brazylia U21 3111.16
7 Argentyna U21 3088.45
8 Włochy U21 3038.44
9 Deutschland U21 3024.96
10 Magyarország U21 2977.92
11 Hellas U21 2941.14
12 Česká republika U21 2909.98
13 Suomi U21 2775.96
14 België U21 2728.38
15 France U21 2696.05
16 Srbija U21 2694.11

Fast-forward to 08.12.2025 , add one World Cup Champion title, a lot of tactical headaches, a few sleepless nights, and a suspicious amount of coffee… and suddenly we are here:
1 Polska U21 3559.07
2 România U21 3378.18
3 Magyarország U21 3317.98
4 Türkiye U21 3113.61
5 Bulgaria U21 3102.80
6 Brasil U21 3086.42
7 Deutschland U21 3061.58
8 Italia U21 3012.74
9 België U21 2971.44
10 France U21 2940.79
11 Argentina U21 2922.20
12 Česká republika U21 2896.29
13 España U21 2890.05
14 Suomi U21 2874.25
15 Hellas U21 2693.34
16 Cuba U21 2661.00

Yes, you read that right we’re 3rd in the world, breathing down Romania’s neck like a striker chasing a lazy defender. And the best part? Magyarország is not the team with the strongest talents in the game. So achieving this with what we have makes the success even sweeter. It’s like winning a drag race with a family car it feels twice as good because nobody expected it.

Now the election period is approaching, and sooner or later we all face the same question:
What next? What goals, what direction, what adventure?

I’ll keep my next step secret for just a bit longer but let’s just say the decision is already made.
What about you? What are your plans? How do you rate your own work this season? What are your goals for the next cycle?

I invite you all to share your thoughts let’s talk, compare experiences, and maybe brag just a little. After all, we earned it.

Nice post :-)

Belgium U21 is also qualified with one match to go:


Team Wedstrijden W G V Saldo Punten
1. België U21 9 8 1 0 39-0 25
2. Srbija U21 9 6 2 1 43-7 20
3. Bosna i Hercegovina U21 9 6 1 2 30-6 19
4. Ireland U21 9 3 1 5 19-20 10
5. Tūnis U21 9 1 1 7 7-41 4
6. Ghana U21 9 0 0 9 2-66 0

We didn't concede a goal yet and hope to keep this statistic alive next week !

Good luck to everybody who is still fighting for qualification!

Paraguay still fighting for qualy in a death group. Let’s hope stars align to get the needed results

Brazil, Eesti and Sweden incandescent ending

I'm impressed with your results. Your group is very open. You could finish 2nd, 3rd, or 4th.

The promotion will also be decided between Estonia and Sweden.

It will be interesting in the last round.

30 shots against your team in 9 matches and not conceding a goal. That's incredible.

Thank you! 2nd place is our dream, 3rd place is a good season result. 4th is our expected position considering the group.

Suomi has 29 shot against and no goals conceded. 9 straight wins so far. We were quite luck with the group, though.

A good keeper. I suppose ;-)
