It seems hard to imagine a World Cup without Portugal or Italy...

But that is exactly the situation as those sides remain on colission course.

Here are some pre-match quotes from Liverpool forward Diogo Jota;

It's not the ideal situation, but this is where we are at. It has to be faced with responsibility and it gives us a lot of strength to play for Portugal and we have all the conditions to be in the World Cup. All this is always confirmed on the pitch. Turkey are not this easy opponent, contrary to what you might think.

Only be a matter of time before these flags start waving;
