"The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup is now fewer than 80 days away, and the six remaining qualification slots will be filled during the international break when the final four European nations and two intercontinental qualifiers emerge from the World Cup playoffs."
"Wales go into their semifinal against Bosnia and Herzegovina with Craig Bellamy's team sitting 35th in the FIFA men's rankings -- 36 places ahead of their opponents. But Bosnia have won two and drawn two of their four previous meetings with Wales."
"The absence of injured Wrexham forward Kieffer Moore will hurt Bellamy's team. On the flipside, the 40-year-old Edin Dzeko -- who has scored six goals in eight games for Schalke since joining the 2. Bundesliga side in January -- is still going strong, and he could give Bosnia the edge."
The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup is approaching, with fewer than 80 days remaining. Six qualification slots are still open, to be filled during the international break. Four European nations and two intercontinental qualifiers will compete in playoffs. Italy faces pressure to avoid missing a third consecutive World Cup. Wales hosts Bosnia and Herzegovina, with Wales holding a ranking advantage but missing a key player. Bosnia's strong past performance against Wales may give them an edge in the semifinal match.
