For many, the South American Qualifiers are the most difficult in the world of football, but their difficulty was reduced with FIFA’s delivery of new direct places to the World Cup, which went from 4 to 6 with one that will go to the playoffs. That is to say, up to 7 of the 10 CONMEBOL teams can go to the next World Cup, but this does not leave aside the very interesting matches that are being played and one of the most attractive is that Argentina and Uruguay will play.
