Summer 2018 will bring a new World, the Russian 2018 where again the best teams in the world meet again in footballing excellence fair held every four years. Sin embargo, as happens every World some of the big teams in the world will be left out after failing to overcome the qualifying round in their groups. These are great teams that are left without World 2018.

Holanda: Gone are the days of Clockwork Orange or that of Van Basten and Gullit. The sad thing is that Holland is also getting away from reaching the World Cup final 2010, would lose with that Iniesta's goal against Spain, and even those who had no trouble qualifying for a World Cup event. The crisis is already long, they failed to qualify for Euro 2016 nor they have managed to reach Russia 2018 to be third in their group and not even able to access the play-offs in the European zone. Sin duda, one of the worst moments of the Dutch soccer should rethink their work from lower categories.

Chile: the last day in CONMEBOL left one of the surprises or maybe not seeing their irregular qualifying. Eliminating the best generation of Chilean football and one of the best generations of South American football in recent decades. The two-time champions of America, who they got beat Argentina two consecutive America's Cup and the Copa America Centenario, and also they managed to reach the final of the Confederations Cup 2017, They have failed miserably in the South American group after losing to Brazil in the final game were developed by Argentina and Colombia who came to the last day outside the positions that gave access to the World. Peru took them almost at the last gasp the play-off place or repechage as called for those dollars.

EEUU: desde 1986 the Americans had not failed to World, adding up 7 World followed in 30 años. This constataba the growth of soccer in the North American country. However after a disappointing final stage in CONCACAF, they have remained outside Russia 2018. Americans fell in the final game against Panama that failed to qualify as third and after the defeat of Mexico to Honduras, They also ran out of the play-off zone that had faced them before Australia. A blow for football had experienced a positive evolution in recent decades.

Others like Sweden, Italia, Switzerland or Denmark inter, They must be played in a repechage his place in the World 2018 so they could have even more surprises.
