Brazil leads the South American World Cup qualifying standings (34 points) and has won a place in Qatar’s 2022 World Cup. Invincible Argentina (8-0-4) is likely to do the same if they can make Brazil lose its first game and the other results in Game 14 play out their own way:

• Colombia did not beat Paraguay
• OR Uruguay and Chile did not win their respective matches
