5th place match (one ticket to int. play-offs for WWC)

Chile - Venezuela

1/2 final (three direct tickets to WWC, one ticket to int. play-offs for WWC)

Colombia - Argentina
Brazil - Paraguay

 

I would bet on ARG over PAR for third. And, honestly, I'm really worried about CHI right now. If looking at the 3v5 matchups in each group, CHI has the edge over VEN, but looking at the 2v3 matchups, VEN has the edge, and I think that comparison is more representative here...

 

5th place match (Intercontinental play-offs ticket)

Chile 1 - 1 Venezuela
Zamora 66' --- Castellanos 90+2'

pk's. 5 - 2
oooxo : xxoo-

Chile wins and will play in the play-offs.

 

Castellanos has been making waves for years, and that has to be one of her most impactful goals for VEN to date, but sadly the team couldn't make good of it (though I am very happy for CHI - the playoffs will be a good test for them and a chance to get back in form). Will be interesting to see what kind of splash she can make at Man City, and if more of the VEN NTers can develop for the side and make a good showing in two years' time.

 

Yes, Castellanos is a generational talent, it's a shame that the rest of the team didn't really manage to grow around her. I am curious too to see what she can do at Manchester City and if she can grow even more in her international status.

On the other hand, I guess the World Cup wouldn't be the same without one of the best GK in the women's game, Chilean Christiane Endler, so I kinda hope that Chile will be one of the three teams punching a ticket for the WWC.

 

They have a good chance to be one of the four seeds and avoid the UEFA team.

 

Chile are currently top ranked of the play-off teams with one UEFA, one CONMEBOL and one OFC team still be selected.

The OFC team will be ranked below Chile. The other CONMEBOL team is 75% likely to be ranked better than Chile and the UEFA team is also 75% likely to be ranked better than Chile. Chile guaranteed to be third ranked team and therefore seeded.

Play-off seed will very likely look like this:

#1 CONMEBOL or UEFA
#2 CONMEBOL or UEFA
#3 Chile
#4 Chinese Taipei

If Paraguay and Bosnia do make the play-off, Chile would end up top seed actually.

 

Only clarification: you can't have two teams from the same confed seeded for these playoffs. If both C'BOL teams have a high enough rating to be seeded without continental considerations, one of them will get the short end of the stick.

Granted, it's highly likely that PAR will be the other C'BOL team in the playoffs, so CHI will still be the C'BOL seeded team in that case (and thus avoid the UEFA team). But just wanted to point that out.

 

You are right, I forgot this parameter and it changes everything because Brazil, Colombia and Argentina are ranked higher than Chile, so if they make the play-off, Chile won't be seeded.

 

I thought AFC has a higher seed, in comparison to CHI.

With the latest matches since Jun 17, adjusted ranking points are:

AFC - TPE: 1595.09887

CBOL- CHI: 1575.19713

OFC - PNG: 1506.22927 (theoretical max)

CCAF - HAI: 1445.70828

AFC - CMR: 1420.97508

TPE will get Seed #2 or #3. It is already safe from UEFA's bracket.

 

How are you getting that number for TPE? They were at 1585 for the Jun 17 list and have lost twice since. And yes, I know you can still earn points from losses, but I don't think those games were close enough to warrant that, plus they have very tiny weightings (the EAFF tournament is just a friendly in terms of the weighting system) so no way something like 10pts should be passing around if the team expected to lose does lose - or even draws. I would honestly expect them to have lost 5-10 points instead of gained 10pts.

 

5th place match


semi-final 1

 

I don't think the number of available places would change things. Even if it was 5+2, this two-group format with repechage matches still works pretty efficiently.

 

I would love a South American women's double round-robin, with each match played as a doubleheader with the men's match.

 

A full double-round-robin would certainly be cool, but the biggest problem with that specific double-header idea would be that then you're a year off schedule - and that the men's and women's international windows never overlap. Plus, always using double-headers doesn't let the women's games grow and become their own events.

 

Confirmed: TPE has a higher seed than CHI.

With the latest matches since Jun 17, adjusted ranking points are:

AFC - TPE: 1581.14887 (prior number incorrectly counted W vs KOR)

CBOL- CHI: 1575.19713

OFC - PNG: 1506.22927 (theoretical max, double 6-0 wins in rest of qualifiers)

CCAF - HAI: 1445.70828

AFC - CMR: 1420.97508

TPE remains safe and away from UEFA's bracket, as Seed #2 or #3.

 

More importantly: yesterday, COL knocked ARG out of Paris 2024. It will be COL's 3rd appearance in women's Olympic football.

17-year-old striker Linda Caicedo scored for COL, for a 1-0 victory. She plays in the Colombian national league. A tournament that almost disappeared in 2022, until the federal gov't stepped in with a 2nd round of emergency funds.

Imagine where would COL be in the world stage, with a stronger women's pro league.

US $268K in 2022 emergency funds - https://www.pulzo.com/deportes/liga...e-confirma-torneo-segundo-semestre-PP1504611A

US $670K in 2021 emergency funds - https://dimayor.com.co/2021/11/mini...a-el-impulso-del-futbol-femenino-en-colombia/

 

A double round-robin tournament is feasible when each FA can foot the bill for travel expenses.

For Conmebol, calculate between 18-36 flight itineraries per NT player, in a given WC qualifier cycle.

BRA might be the one Conmebol FA that could absorb such expense, until every FA negotiates TV rights for their WNT. This is why Conmebol women's WC qualifiers occur in a centralized tournament.

 

@Philipp Morgenstern, welcome to the amazing universe of Conmebol women's football.

Guess how much a COL player earns per CA2022 match? Not much really, as in US $22 per game.

COL players protested during their first match's national anthems ceremony, denouncing both the non-start of their 2022 women's pro league and their pitiful WNT stipends.
Apparently, they earn 1/6 of what VEN players receive per match. Ouch.

Far from being a symbolic gesture, their goal was to embarrass the Colombian FA into addressing those concerns.

After the pandemic, Conmebol allowed all clubs to forgo fielding a women's squad. What used to be a main requisite for competing in men's continental tournaments, today remains suspended. Hence, the Colombian FA decided that it might as well shut down its women's professional league, without repercussions for men's clubs.

But, after being embarrassed on that international broadcast, the Colombian FA is scrambling to restart their women's pro league.

Even better, COL WNT got its own stack of paper from Conmebol, so far worth $500K. BRA won't let go of its $1.5M stack, for sure.

This COL story is far from a "lived happily ever after" ending, though.

La protesta de las jugadoras de la selección Colombia en la inauguración de la Copa América Femenina
La desigualdad en los premios, la cancelación de la liga femenina en el segundo semestre y la falta de voluntad por negociar habrían llevado a las jugadoras a realizar el acto simbólico
9 de Julio de 2022

Una de las imágenes que dejó el debut de la selección Colombia en la Copa América Femenina no es solo la del triunfo ante Paraguay y el talento de jugadoras como Linda Caicedo, Catalina Usme o Leicy Santos, también fue la protesta durante el himno nacional del país anfitrión, cuando se vio a las cafeteras con los brazos en alto. Al principió se relacionó con la cancelación de la Liga Femenina en el segundo semestre, luego se conoció que también reclamaban por los premios por su participación y la falta de voluntad de los dirigentes por negociar.

Aunque las consecuencia en la selección Colombia femenina podría ser el veto definitivo de las convocatorias, las mujeres del equipo nacional dejaron el miedo de lado y las 23 convocadas por Nelson Abadía levantaron sus brazos en señal de protesta y postearon un video con el mismo acto en sus redes sociales. Allí, acompañaron la publicación con el siguiente mensaje: “Hoy nos unimos por el cambio. Aunque nos faltan garantías, nos sobra amor a esta camiseta, por eso nos unimos con la ilusión del trabajo en equipo, de la equidad en las condiciones de trabajo y competencia, de las decisiones concertadas y de un futuro brillante para todos los que hacemos parte del fútbol femenino. UNIDAS POR EL CAMBIO”.

Una de las exjugadoras de la selección Colombia, Melissa Ortíz, ahora analista en cadenas de televisión de Estados Unidos, aseguró que el pago por día de las jugadoras colombianas es de 22 dólares, mismo valor que se cancelaba en 2014 y seis veces menos que lo ganado por las convocadas por la selección de Venezuela. Además, denunció que, aunque se ha intentado dialogar con las directivas para cambiar este panorama, han recibido un no como respuesta.

Las jugadoras reclaman mayor igualdad en la repartición de premios y la realización de una liga profesional de fútbol femenino en el segundo semestre del 2022.

Otra jugadora que compartió el video con las jugadoras con los brazos en alto fue la defensora Isabella Echeverri, quien pese a ser de las colombianas más destacadas en Europa no volvió a recibir el llamado a la selección tras alzar su voz en pro a la realización de una liga profesional de fútbol femenino. “Merecemos vivir nuestra profesión dignamente. Merecemos garantías y respeto. Desde aquí levanto los brazos por la equidad y el crecimiento de nuestro fútbol”, decía el mensaje de la ahora jugadora de Rayadas de Monterrey en México.

La protestas de las encargadas de enaltecer el fútbol femenino se realizó justo el día después de que la Dimayor informara que no hubo un acuerdo para realizar el torneo profesional de fútbol femenino y dejar a la deriva a una importante cantidad de futbolistas. En un comunicado emitido por la División Mayor del Fútbol Colombiano, se pidió a la Federación asumir la organización del torneo y se delegó a los cuatro representantes del Comité Ejecutivo entablar los diálogos.

Según el periodista Diego Saviola, de DirecTv Sports, en el entretiempo del partido entre Colombia vs. Paraguay, en la primera fecha de la Copa América Femenina, el presidente de la Federación Colombiana de Fútbol, Ramón Jesurún, dio la orden de organizar el torneo profesional femenino con los equipos que estén dispuestos a organizar una nómina para el segundo semestre. Además, para el próximo año volvería la obligatoriedad de presentar equipo femenino para participar en la Liga.

La Tricolor ganó en su debut en la Copa América 4-2. Las autoras de los goles fueron Daniela Montoya en dos ocasiones, Mayra Ramírez al minuto 33 y Manuela Vanegas al minuto 82. El equipo ‘albirrojo’ descontó por intermedio de Jessica Martínez y Fany Gauto a través de disparos de larga distancia.
