Play 'semi-finals' are seeded, but the play off 'finals' (to whittle 6 down to 3 is not). So Wales and Scotland have a 3 in 5 chance of avoiding Italy & Portugal, should they get through their respective semis. draw is on 26/11.

This is the World Cup - less places for UEFA teams, than the European championships, which you are perhaps thinking of?

More importantly, in their cup replay against Oxford last night, Bristol Rovers went into the 2nd half of extra time 1-3 down and came back to win 4-3.

I note Sion Spence, who scored two for the Gas last night, doesn't appear to want to represent Wales under 21 anymore for some reason.

Meanwhile in Iran the women's football team has been accused of fielding a man in goal when playing Jordan who lost in a penalties shoot out.

It's not the first time this has happened with allegations going back to 2015 of Iran pulling this stunt.

Just seen a great FA Cup match replay between Stockport County and Bolton.
County were 2 down after 6 minutes, 3-1 down after 29 minutes (all 3 goals coming from terrible defending), then 3-3 with 5 minutes remaining, with 2 scored in extra time, the last one with virtually the last kick of the game.
There was a pitch invasion, the scorer of the 5th goal tore off his shirt and chucked it on the pitch only for some opportunist fan to nick it, flares were being set off and it seemed that a corner flag was nicked, too.
What a GREAT game - it had everything. ❤️

Arguably, the best Manchester derby in a very long time!

Oxford are consistently throwing away leads this season. They have scored first in six of the eleven games that have either ended in a draw or a defeat. Including the two FA Cup games against Bristol Rovers.

This sort of stuff stirs the pot even more doesn’t it !
. Not sure if being controversial on purpose or just an absolute ball sack 
Didn't they have to ask for someone to be 'assistant referee' when the lino twisted his ankle and they were fortunate enough to have Glenn Campbell (don't bring pesky 'facts' into it!) in the crowd who happens to have a licence to officiate at football matches? Altogether now......

I'm almost sure that is Mike Parry who has made a living being controversial.
If it isn't him it looks like him.

Yep. Parry used to be on talksport, he’s a typical rent a gob. Paid to say controversial opinions.
