im not a big soccer fan but im not here to troll, im just curious about the world cup concept which may be used in other sports. from what i understand, these teams play the others in their group and the top few in each group advance? and when do these qualifying games normally in relation to the actual world cup? if someone could clear it up for me, i'd appreciate it.

This is just the Europe part, then there' Oceana, South America, Africa etc.

But from these 51 teams, only 13 from Europe will qualify for the world cup. These are just qualifiers to get into the world cup. I think the 8 group winners qualify, as well as the top 2 runners up. Plus then 3 more from playoffs. Germany qualify automatically because they're hosting it.

The actual world cup consists of 8 groups of 4, of which 16 teams qualify into a knockout stage like the picture attached (from World Cup 2002), this is the beginning of the knockout stage:

i think top 2 teams advance to round of 32 at the WorldCup. (because, Europe gets so many tickets compared to other continents) ..

these qualifying rounds happen about 2 years before the actual world cup (i'm not so sure)

lemme see.

last worldcup

Europe: france,portugal,germany,italy,ireland,england,spain,poland,turkey,sweden, slovakia, croatia, denmark,slovenia, russia, belgium (16 teams)

Asia&including Austrailia.. (there was big fuss about this):korea,japan(hosts),china,saudi, (usually 3 teams)

Africa: cameron, senegal, nigeria,south africa, tunisia (5 teams)

N.America: mexico,america, costa rica, (3 teams)

S.America: brazil,urugay,argentina,paraguay,ecadour, (5 teams)

Englands group looks like it will be a walk over for them :D should be good :p

Italy got Norway and Scotland :s hopefully they won't be condemned against this year, like they were last time - 6 disallowed goals. OUTRAGE! :crazy:

Edit: well, not this year, 2006

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      By zikalify · Posted

      Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today by Paul Hill Apple will begin enforcing the Texas Age Assurance Law (SB 2420) following a recent court ruling that lifted an injunction on SB 2420. Starting June 4 (today), Apple will enforce strict age-verification and parental-consent rules for new Apple accounts created in Texas. This move will affect children under 18 who go to download apps or attempt to make in-app purchases. Apple previously expressed privacy concerns related to this law, but compliance is now mandatory for the company, nevertheless. Apple will use several APIs to follow the law. Principally, the Declared Age Range API will fetch the specific user age bracket (Under 13, 13-15, 16-17, or 18+) and a verification method. The Significant Change API (PermissionKit) will trigger a system dialog for parental consent if an app gets a major update or an age-rating shift. There is also a new property type in StoreKit that allows developers to automatically check when their app’s age rating has changed on a user’s device and then use the Significant Change API to request parental consent. Finally, App Store Server Notifications can be configured to tell developers when a parent revokes consent, blocking app launches. To ensure they are ready for these changes, developers must immediately use Apple’s sandbox testing environment to validate these APIs in their apps. For any developers out there finding this to be inconvenient, get used to it. Other regions, such as Utah, Louisiana, and Brazil, are looking at, or have implemented, similar rules.
