In the corresponding game for the first of the semifinals of Path B whose winner will go directly to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-which-stars-are-going-to-the-world-cup-which-are-not-and-which-are-almost-there-20211119-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a>, Russia had to face Poland, however, this game was canceled Poland declared the winner. Find here the reasons that led to the cancellation of this game.
After losing its direct ticket to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-is-duvan-zapata-not-playing-for-colombia-in-last-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-games-20220321-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Cup</a> in the hands of Croatia on the last Matchday, Russia was forced to play the playoffs to win one of the three places that remain to be defined in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-cristiano-ronaldo-could-match-or-break-these-records-in-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220309-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA</a> (there are 13 European teams that will go, 10 of which are already classified). For that reason, they had to play Poland in these semi-finals.
The Poles, for their part, reached the playoffs with great difficulty despite the fact that they had an easy group, in which only England was a strong team. The overrated Polish team won, with the elimination of Russia, their ticket to the finals of Path B. In the final, the Poles, who have not had a competitive team since 1974, will face the winner of Sweden vs Czech Republic.
<h2>Why was the World Cup Qualifying game cancelled?</h2>
Russia, who had earned their right to play this tie legitimately, was removed by FIFA from the qualifiers due to the conflict with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/scotland-vs-ukraine-why-was-the-world-cup-qualifying-game-postponed-20220321-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ukraine</a>; in an unprecedented decision of the highest soccer regulatory body, since it is not the first time that one of the participants in the qualifying rounds or even in the World Cup itself was in a military conflict, and yet it is the first time that this decision has been made.

Russia vs Poland: Why was the World Cup Qualifying game cancelled?

Russia vs Poland: Why was the World Cup Qualifying game cancelled? - Bolavip US

In what was going to be the first of the semifinals of Path A of the Europa <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-is-paolo-guerrero-not-playing-for-peru-in-last-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-games-20220321-0005.html" target="_blank">Qualifiers</a>, Ukraine had to face Scotland looking for a place in the finals that would allow them to be one of the 13 UEFA <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-is-duvan-zapata-not-playing-for-colombia-in-last-2022-world-cup-qualifiers-games-20220321-0002.html" target="_blank">qualifiers</a> for the next <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-which-stars-are-going-to-the-world-cup-which-are-not-and-which-are-almost-there-20211119-0002.html" target="_blank">World Cup Qatar 2022</a> However, it was decided to postpone this game. Find the reasons here. 
Ukraine won their right to play these playoffs after finishing second in the group whose strongest team was France, who won 5 games and tied 3. For their part, the Ukrainians won 2 and tied 6, finishing like the French undefeated and only 1 point above Finland. The Ukrainians hoped to play the <a href="https:\/\/bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-the-estimated-budget-to-attend-the-upcoming-fifa-world-cup-20220317-0039.html" target="_blank">World Cup</a> once again as they did in 2006. 
In the case of Scotland, for the first time in several years they presented a decent team, which after years of failed attempts, were able to win their place in the playoffs (it is worth clarifying that they were lucky to have a group with very mediocre teams). Although little was expected of this team whose most "successful" period was 50 years ago (and only because they qualified for the World Cups, not precisely because they had a good participation in them), it was a golden opportunity for a poor Scottish team. 
<h2>Why was the World Cup Qualifying game postponed?</h2> 
The soccer regulatory authorities in Ukraine, due to the war in the country, have asked to postpone this qualifying game against Scotland. FIFA of course agreed to the request made by the Ukrainian authorities. It is not yet clear on what date this match corresponding to the Path A semifinals could be played.
