tonight's game Lux v. N Ireland is suppose is overall pointless.   N Ireland is already in, Luxembourg can't get in. ever apparently.  

 

and germany is not a shoe-in, right?  is Slovakia wins they're in right? 

 

Yeah Germany can't lose, otherwise they fall to the playoff and Slovakia would be in. But Germany is making short work of this, already up 2-0 in the 35'

Well that appears to be an academic argument with a 3-0 lead still in the first half.   Also playing major tom every time they score is annoying.

I've seen dozens of cool vids following Ireland's win, and they're all awesome, but you have to love when official accounts get into it:

Let's just throw all the qualifiers in her for today because I was looking at the board and DAMN there's some interesting things going on.

Asia - Their automatic teams are in (8) there is the final match for the Intercontinental playoff today - Iraq vs UAE (1-1 after the first leg)

UEFA - they have their final matchday of auto qualifiers today. A few groups have head to head deciding matches where the winner is in and the loser is in their playoff. The team in italics is the one which advances with a draw:
Group B - Kosovo v Switzerland (Kosovo would need to erase +11 GD in the game)
Group C - Scotland v Denmark
Group E - Spain v Turkiye (Turkiye would need to erase +14 GD in the game)
Group H - Austria v Bosnia and Herzegovina 
Group J is also in play Belgium v Liechtenstein and Wales v North Macedonia - Belgium is in with a win or likely draw. If they lose, an outright winner in Wales-N. Macedonia can get the spot

CONCACAF - I haven't paid attention to qualifying because the US is already in, but when I pulled it up the groups are topped with names that shock me:
Group A - Suriname (9 pts, +5 GD) and Panama (9, +2) top the group, today's matches Guatemala v Suriname and Panama v El Salvador
Group B - Curacao (11) and Jamaica (10) play head to head in Jamaica tonight
Group C - Honduras (8, +3), Haiti (8,+1) and Costa Rica (6, +2) are all in the mix. Tonight Costa Rica v Honduras and Haiti v Nicaragua
Second placed teams are ranked and top 2 of 3 go to the intercontinental playoff.

I am rooting for Suriname, Curacao and Haiti for 2 reasons: 1- if they make it in, much cooler. 2- the teams that would fall to the intercontinental playoff would be much more likely to make the playoff than those 3 teams that would likely get the floor mopped with them.
