perhaps the toughest draw the socceroos could have got, including japan, saudi arabia and china…with that amount of difficulty i wouldnt rule out the socceroos finishing 3rd in the group and having to go through the asian 5th place playoff over 1 leg (perhaps v iraq or uae) and then vs south america 5th…or…concacaf 4th…or oceania 1st playoff over 2 legs route one last time before the playoff format changes for 2026
right now i could see the other 3 inter confederation playoff nations for the playoffs in june 2022 being colombia (or uruguay), honduras (or panama), nz

Incorrect. The matches won’t be on Paramount+ (well, not live anyway) as it won’t have launched yet. Likely to be on 10Play or My Football YouTube channel.
It’s actually the other way around, Pheonix are the home team, although they won’t host any matches in NZ (barring a final).
