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.

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.

Greece v. Belarus kinda depressing to see the empty stadium. Also Kosovos stadium looks like its a community college venue

which one? I'm not watching - work (looking for a stream though)

The red card on Denmark. But I see now that it wasn’t a straight red but his second yellow of the match so it was a good call.

From the sound of this - I really wish I could get a stream working

 

Get any android streaming device. subscribe to an IPTV provider...about €10/month for me. Gets all broadcast channels everywhere (I'm watching on Stan PPV) plus thousands of streaming TV series and movies included.  Look up nexott or digital lizard to start but there are dozens out there.

Fox is the absolute worst, for a product they paid top dollar for, they treat it like a red-headed step child.

 

Morning/Afternoon recap:

AFC - Iraq won their game today 2-1 and move on to the Intercontinental playoff.

UEFA - 
Group B - Switzerland after a 1-1 draw
Group C - Scotland in the game of the day
Group E - Spain after a 2-2 draw
Group H - Austria after a 1-1 draw
Group J - Belgium rolling over Liechtenstein

THere are 16 teams competing for the 4 remaining spots:
Pot 1 - Italy, Denmark, Turkey, Ukraine
Pot 2 - Poland, Wales, Czech Republic, Slovakia
Pot 3 - Ireland, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo
Pot 4 - Romania, Sweden, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland

The draw for this is Thursday, but each group will match:
Pot 1 v Pot 4
Pot 2 v Pot 3

The Pot 1 and 2 teams will host the semis. They will draw for the host of the final too.

CONCACAF is on Paramount + tonight.

so, a bicycle kick, an olímpico, a stoppage time worldie, and a goal from their own half. i doubt there’s ever been a game so thoroughly enjoyable for the home fans.

There is about 15' left in the CONCACAF games and this is what's going on:

Group A - Disaster for Suriname - they are getting routed 3-0 against Guatemala. Panama is winning 2-0. That would give Panama the group, but the bad loss would likely knock Suriname out of the intercontinental playoff.

Group B - Curacao and Jamaica are tied 0-0. Curacao had a goal wiped out for offsides.

Group C - Haiti is up 2-0 on Nicaragua and Costa Rica and Honduras are scoreless. That would put Haiti into the World Cup

 

These results would end up with Honduras and Jamaica into the Intercontinental playoff.

Serious drama, I recommend the Goalazo show. 

 

Jamaica hit the woodwork about 2 minutes ago. And they just got a red card! There is going to be a ton of stoppage time, but it's still 0-0.

 

Panama has pretty much wrapped up their ticket up 3-0.

OH WOW!!! Suriname gets an OG in stoppage time and moves up ahead of Honduras of the 2nd place teams. That puts THEM into the intercontinental playoff and Honduras is DED dead.
