All Asian qualifying games for the 2022 World Cup scheduled this year have been postponed to 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation issued a joint statement saying the delay is to protect the health and safety of all participants from COVID-19. The games will be rescheduled in 2021.

The slots in June 2022 protected for national-team games are fast becoming key to deciding the 32-nation World Cup lineup. Yet those dates are available only because of the disputed FIFA decision in 2015 to move the finals tournament to November and December to avoid Qatar’s searing summer heat. South America’s CONMEBOL has yet to start its scheduled 18-round World Cup qualifying group and asked FIFA for an extra block of games in January 2022. That will likely be unpopular with European clubs if they are required to release players for additional weeks in what will already be a congested season.

The eight group winners and the four best runners-up advance to the third stage of qualifying for the finals tournament in Qatar 2022. The next scheduled phase involves 12 nations in two round-robin groups of 10 games for each team. Those will send four teams to Qatar.

World hits grim milestone of 20 million reported coronavirus casesThe world has reached the grim milestone of 20 million confirmed coronavirus cases and is edging closer to 750,000 deaths globally, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University. In a bad year about 52 million people get the flu and about 750,000 die world wide. So you can see that this covid is no joke, with only a reported 20 million infected and 750,000. We shut the world down for a 3.7% death rate. Less than 1% of you add in the millions whom had the virus and never got tested. You must be so sad that this virus is so rapidly declining in numbers.
