World Cup Qualifiers

[Lancs Harp]

Host of matches tonight, France v Holland (on sky), last chance saloon for Holland I think, Bulgaria v top of the table Sweden in the same group.

A few potential hammerings or shocks depending on the way you see it

Belgium v Gibraltar
Portugal v Faroe Islands
Switzerland v Andorra

Also in action

Cyprus v Bosnia
Greece v Estonia
Hungary v Latvia
Luxembourg v Belarus

I think all the above games are hiding behind the Sky red button.

Anything catch your eye?

[Green Man]

Luxembourg and Belarus drew in the corresponding fixture last year. Potential upset there.

[AZhibee]

US v Costa Rica catches my eye
🇺🇸

Hungary 1-0 up v Latvia

[IGRIGI]

Quite a shock how far the Netherlands have fallen so quickly, France all over them in 2nd gear just now.

[yonder1875]

Lemar does look the part for France, to be fair.

not sure that cut and paste came out too well

[IberianHibernian]

Surely time to have preliminary round before groups in Europe ? Interrupting leagues and asking world`s top players to risk injury to play against San Marino or Gibraltar doesn`t really benefit anyone (FAs of San Marino and Gibraltar probably have far fewer economic problems than those in bigger countries ) and just provokes even more anti international football feeling among fans , players and clubs . Bigger countries use games against minnows as a chance to play in smaller towns or stadium ( Belgium in Liege and Portugal in smaller stadium in Oporto tonight ) but may lose money doing so ( SFA understandably chose to play Gibraltar at Hampden last year or 2015 instead of giving locals in Dundee or Kilmarnock for example a chance to see international football ) .

[Lancs Harp]

Portugal 3-1 up now. Third goal not scored by Ronaldo shock.

[Lancs Harp]

10 man Belgium now 7 up.

[Lancs Harp]

Portugal 4-1 up Ronaldo hatrick.

Luxembourg take the lead 1-0 against Belarus

[Lancs Harp]

Belgium 8-0

[David_D]

Has anyone seen the conditions the Switzerland match is being played in. Reminds me of the Intertoto cup math we played about 10 years ago.

[Lancs Harp]

France 2 Holland 0 cracker from Liverpool and Arsenal target Lemar.

[Lancs Harp]

Cyprus fought back from 2 down against Bosnia. 2-2

[Lancs Harp]

Cyprus 3-2 up now, great fightback

Bulgaria 3 Sweden 2

[Bristolhibby]

Bulgaria just taken the lead for the third time against Sweden.

3-2

[Lancs Harp]

Portugal 5-1 up

Belgium 9-0 up now!!

[Lancs Harp]

France 3 Holland 0, now I know france are decent but Holland have been appalling.

[Lancs Harp]

4-0 France

[SirDavidsNapper]

France 3 Holland 0, now I know france are decent but Holland have been appalling.

Holland could easily become the new Scotland

[Lancs Harp]

Gibraltar hold out for 0-9 defeat against Belgium who played the entire second half with 10 men.

[Glory Lurker]

Worse. They've no hills.

[JimBHibees]

Got to be said how much of a selfish clown is Van Dijk obviously due to his transfer request he hasn't played resulting him in him twiddling his thumbs when his country needed him. Self indulgent nonsense.

[Speedy]

Some great results for Scotland tonight. Win our games and we've got a chance.

Scotland win their remaining four games(?) they will be in the playoffs.

Only 8 of 9 qualify for the playoffs. Games against the bottom teams don't count so we currently have 5 points from 5 games, winning the rest takes us to 14 from 8 games.

Ireland are 8th with 9 from 5 and Montenegro are 9th with 7 from 5 so we have catching up to do to even make a play off spot.

Sweden, Holland, Greece and Bosnia all dropped points tonight which keeps them in reach (Greece and Bosnia in particular)

There are 6 teams in all groups so surely it's just straight up records for second place and worst second place team doesn't make it so we win our 4 remaining games we will likely be in playoffs.

Important thing for us is to take 6 from 6 to give ourselves a chance going into games with Slovakia and Slovenia.
