Analyzing World Cup qualifiers

The user wrote in Chinese about the competitiveness and upsets in World Cup qualifiers, so I think they might want some commentary or analysis. I want to clarify what they’d like to know or provide a brief analysis myself. I could mention reasons for upsets like trends, fixture congestion, VAR, or the expanded World Cup format. I'll mention data points like how 15-25% of matches might end in draws or underdog wins. I need to remember my knowledge cutoff.Discussing upset indicators in qualifiers

I need to be careful not to invent statistics, so talking qualitatively is a better approach. I'll highlight what to watch for in upsets: injuries, club management, red cards, and early goals can all play a role. I can suggest analyzing expected goals (xG), schedule density, and travel distances, especially in challenging locations like La Paz.

Regarding notable matches, in the 2023-24 qualifiers, I recall that South Korea drew with Thailand, and China had close games with Singapore and South Korea, making for some interesting dynamics!Noting recent football upsets

I remember Indonesia beating Vietnam 1-0 and 3-0, which were notable matches. Jordan had a strong performance in the Asian Cup, but it's important to note their surprising win against Saudi Arabia in World Cup qualifiers, where they beat them 2-1 away. In CAF, big upsets include Comoros defeating Ghana 1-0 in November 2023. Algeria faced difficulties, losing to Guinea at home and then to Mozambique. In UEFA, the Euro qualifiers had their fair share of surprises, and World Cup qualifiers for 2026 will begin in March 2025.Reviewing CONMEBOL qualifiers and upsets

The CONMEBOL 2026 qualifiers started in September 2023, and there were some significant upsets. Uruguay defeated Argentina 2-0 in Buenos Aires, while Colombia surprised Brazil with a 2-1 win in Barranquilla. Brazil also had a draw against Venezuela, which was unexpected. Ecuador’s win over Uruguay in Quito wasn’t a huge upset, and I’m not sure about Paraguay beating Argentina.

Since the user made a general statement, I think I should ask which confederation or teams they follow and offer a concise response with reasons and examples.简析

I need to adhere to a structured final answer, so I’ll include a brief bold header. I’ll keep my points concise and use bullet points for clarity while adding reasons and examples.

1. Acknowledge that there are indeed more upsets this cycle.

3. Highlight specific examples: Brazil drawing with Venezuela and Argentina losing to Uruguay; Comoros beating Ghana; Indonesia defeating Vietnam; and South Korea drawing with Thailand.
