Bro rules haven't changed. Qatar have qualified for the WC. They still play the qualifiers as formality. But this is actually an advantage for India that we are in the same group. Even if we finish 2nd we automatically get through to the final qualifying round which other groups miss out from. But India is such a useless team they couldn't even hold on to a lead against Oman. Had we beat them we could have probably finished 2nd.

Football rule should be changed for India.
Instead of 90min match, We need 70 min..
Then you can see India beat many teams..

Qatar has qualified bro

Qatar is qualified and if they don't play matches, it will affect other teams chance to qualify. So they have to play qualifiers.

And this is exactly why India won the lottery by being in the same group as Qatar. We just are such a miserable side we can't finish 2nd in this group

90 minutes is too long. They should have 20-20 version of football. And all matches should end with an outcome whether it's by extra time or by penalties.

This is the question which needs an answer. Qatar has qualified no doubts about that but why are they playing qualifiers. I don't enjoy international matches but few rules are a head ache to understand and I'd like some clarification on this.

No wonder everybody hates FIFA's president.

Idk how can you have an event without host nation participanting. Imagine how weird it would be when US who hosted 100th anniversary of 2016 Copa America Cup. Despite being a non CONBMEBOL country. US had to take part as it was hosting a Copa event.
