ZURICH (Reuters) -The last two European champions, Italy and Portugal, could face off for a spot at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after they were drawn on Friday in the same path for the playoffs. The winning team from each path qualifies for the World Cup in Qatar, meaning Italy and Portugal cannot both reach the tournament. Older Wales fans still get high blood pressure thinking about the 1977 World Cup qualifier with Scotland. Scotland won 2-0 to earn a place at the World Cup in Argentina the following year.
