Portugal and Italy, one of these teams are going to be eliminated from the World Cup Qualifiers and this makes me really sad. I would really like to see both of them competing in the World Cup. Because they both deserve to be a part of this tournament. But there is nothing we can do about this unfortunately. And if I choose one of them to join the World Cup, I'd prefer seeing Italy there.
I agree with you, both teams should be in the tournament. Italy is the bigger name on paper and with a more successful history, but Portugal has its appeal because of Christiano Ronaldo. I would love to see him one last time in a big tournament.
