Talk:2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL)

Is the Brazil v Argentina match scheduled for 11 June in Melbourne a Friendly or the re-scheduled qualifier from 5 September? The AP article referenced says it's a Friendly. FIFA's page for CONMEBOL qualifying doesn't show the 11 June match and in fact says the qualifying is finished. --Wburrow (talk) 21:29, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Several sources^[1][2] are showing the match as a friendly, so I reverted back to version showing the abandoned MD6 match as TBC Wburrow (talk) 22:28, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

@Jkudlick: How are you sure that this is the rescheduled qualifier? I'm not able to find a source that says that it is, and the second article I referenced explicitly says that it is not. Just because a qualifier match doesn't have a bearing on the ultimate results of who qualifies doesn't mean it's a friendly. For example, the UEFA qualifier between LUX and IRL on 14 November didn't have a bearing on qualification since both teams had been eliminated, but we would never call it a friendly. Unless we can find a source that says otherwise, this 11 June match should be treated as a friendly exhibition match that is not in any way part of the WC qualification process, and therefore is not relevant for this article. (ETA: I very much hope we do find a source, as I'd like to see this whole matter settled and closed out.)Wburrow (talk) 06:30, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
