CAF eyes tenth World Cup slot as DR Congo set for historic playoff, Nigeria, Senegal, star anew
While the DR Congo stands on the verge of a historic 2026 World Cup berth in the inter-confederation playoffs, Nigeria and Senegal begin new cycles following a turbulent period of coaching changes and administrative controversy. The Democratic Republic of Congo arrives in Zapopan, Mexico, as favorites to secure Africa’s tenth World Cup spot. Seeded in Path 1, Sebastien Desabre’s “Leopards” await the winner of the Jamaica versus New Caledonia semi-final for a decisive clash on March 31. Desabre, who has successfully recruited several diaspora stars, remains confident in ending a 52-year drought, noting, “The nation will come to a standstill for Congo DR’s final.” Nigeria’s Super Eagles travel to Antalya, Turkey, to face Iran and Jordan without talisman Victor Osimhen, who is sidelined following arm surgery. Head coach Eric Chelle has utilized this window to blood new talent like Philip Otele and Collins Sor while maintaining his tactical diamond formation. Despite missing the World Cup, Chelle is focused on the “Mission ’27” reboot, aiming to restore national pride after their recent AFCON semi-final exit. In a week dominated by off-field drama, Senegal officially begins its appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being stripped of their AFCON title. CAF awarded the trophy to Morocco following a chaotic final, citing Senegal’s brief walk-off as a forfeit. Amidst the tension, the Teranga Lions face Peru in Paris, where coach Pape Thiaw must stabilize a squad that feels “unequivocally rejected” by the continental governing body. -

From France to Moldova: Ranking all 87 countries who began the quest for 2026 FIFA World Cup
It’s the quadrennial question every football nation faces, what matters more: talent or form? With the 2026 FIFA World Cup drawing closer, ESPN has decided not to choose between them. Instead, it created a balanced ranking based on both.
Using Transfermarkt’s estimated player values as a measure of talent and World Football Elo Ratings for recent performance, ESPN assessed all 87 countries still mathematically alive in the qualification race. The result is a revealing snapshot of global football strength and momentum heading into next summer’s showpiece in North America.
At the top of the list sits France, boasting unmatched squad depth and world-class firepower led by Kylian Mbappé. Spain and England follow closely, with both nations already qualified and displaying consistency in performance and player development. Brazil, Portugal, and Argentina complete the top six, each balancing elite talent with continental success.
African giants Morocco, Senegal, and Nigeria rank high among the continent’s best, while Japan, South Korea, and Australia represent Asia’s leading forces.

Interestingly, ESPN highlights nations punching above their weight, like Jordan, Cape Verde, and Ecuador, all of whom have already sealed qualification despite modest squad values.
At the other end, Moldova anchor the rankings, still clinging to faint playoff hopes despite losing all their qualifiers. Similarly, Benin and Haiti remain outsiders with slim mathematical chances.
From world champions to surprise qualifiers, the 87 names reflect football’s evolving balance, proof that in World Cup qualifying, form and fortune can matter just as much as talent.

Japan hosts Paraguay in tight friendly showdown
Japan and Paraguay, both boasting formidable defensive records, are set to face off in what is expected to be a low-scoring friendly encounter in Suita.
1. Match Summary
The match between Peru and Honduras ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Peru took the lead twice, through goals from J. Velez (6' and 58'), but Honduras responded with goals from L. Palma (44') and K. Guity (90'). The game was punctuated by several substitutions, particularly from Peru in the second half, indicating a tactical shift or attempts to regain control. A flurry of yellow cards suggests a physically contested match.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Peru: Peru dominated possession with 55% of the ball and a significantly higher pass accuracy (84% vs Honduras' 79%). They completed more total passes (400 vs 317) demonstrating their control in midfield. However, they only managed 2 shots on goal from 8 total shots, indicating a lack of clinical finishing. The high number of fouls (15) suggests a degree of frustration and difficulty breaking down the Honduran defense. The numerous substitutions made by Peru suggest the coach was trying to find a winning formula, but ultimately couldn't secure the victory.
Honduras: Honduras were more direct in their approach, with 10 total shots, though only 2 on target. They were effective in disrupting Peru's play, evidenced by 2 blocked shots. While they had less possession, they were able to capitalize on their opportunities, scoring twice. Their passing accuracy was slightly lower than Peru's, but they were still able to create chances. The late equalizer demonstrates their resilience and determination.
Key Statistical Highlights:
Possession: Peru (55%) - Honduras (45%) Pass Accuracy: Peru (84%) - Honduras (79%) Total Shots: Peru (8) - Honduras (10) Shots on Goal: Peru (2) - Honduras (2) Fouls: Peru (15) - Honduras (13)
