At least England qualified.Catastrophic Italy situation and Argentina only drawn against Peru,
Argentina didnt score from 465min,Dybala 90 min on the bench and Higuain is out of Argentinian team,Argentina can't even qualify to barage.Mundial without Argentina Italy Holland,
Looks like disaster

i'm not surprising if England qualified to world cup because they're almost regularly playing at this tournament but the biggest problem for England is they're only good for qualification games but while entered the real competition this team seems had no luck and cannot reach even for the final game i think this is very unfortunate while BPL declared as one of the biggest league in the world but their national team seems stuck and never being the champion again since 1966
There is no way that England will be able to make it to the quarterfinals of the World Cup next if the likes of Chamberlain and Lingard are in the team, Gareth Southgate should be very diligent in selecting the players for the World Cup and not bow to any pressure whatsoever from anyone. 
Italy is falling in the trap It's a catastrophic situation with Ventura, I do not know what his style is and what his plan is, no defense, no attack, no possession, the center is lost and nonexistent. The Italian federation must dismiss him as soon as possible. There are better players than those currently in the Italian squad
The thing is who are they going to replace him with when he is given the sack, Considering the team that Conte built during his tenure as the manager as the Azzuris, this current team is far inferior, Ventura is tactically inept and should be replaced before the Italians fail to qualify.

What a match by Icelnad. They beat Turkey away 3-0 to climb to the top of the table above Croatia. Iceland play against Kosovo in 3 days in Icelnad and they will win since Kosovo is the weakest team in the group and won't recist against them. The dream is turining to reality for Icelnad people. After a great performance in the last Euro, some said Iceland qualified to the quarter final by chance. Today, they ansewered the criticizm since they are one step away from Russia.
Too sad to see Italia strugle to qualify. Poor perfomance today against an average team Macedonia. They need to start making real decisions to fix the current situation.
Iceland indeed deserve to be in the World Cup come next year, winning away at Turkey is no easy feat at all and they did and did it in style as well by scoring three goals as well, I am very impressed. Too sad to see Italia strugle to qualify. Poor perfomance today against an average team Macedonia. They need to start making real decisions to fix the current situation.

Bulgaria will face france today at home they are 4th in the table with some chances still live for them to qualify so they need a win here and their record at home is great so far with 4 wins in 4 games also historicly france have a bad results when they face Bulgaria away with 6 loses and a draw from 7 meatings isnot something to cheer for also they have been unstable in performance for the past couple games and still not secured first place they are at top of the table with 17 points, but only 1 over Sweden so they also needs this win so it will be an intresting game to see currently they won just one game in three so it may be doubtfull for them to win after the shocking draw at home against Luxemburg last game makes me doubt their potentiel but this time they are facing a better team so no underestimating them and i expect over 2.5 goals at the end of the match

England, in his best years, World Championships have not shown good results. Not sure she will be able to achieve something at this World Cup 2018. Although in football anything is possible.
so true,
I think the quality of England players is still very far away to be able to gain glory in the world cup.
it looks like the England coach still lacks the front players.
they are still less sharp in doing the type of attacking game,
the middle krator was in need of England
but if they can play solid and compact
they could have escaped the group phase
Poland are undoubtedly going to finish top of their group after an impressive win against Armenia away from home, Lewandowski was able to score a hattrick in the game which was really not a surprise considering he has scored twelve goals in the tournament so far. Their next game is at home against Montenegro and am sure that they are going to win very easily in that encounter securing their place in next years competition.
Celebration day for Lewandowski,his third goal was goal nr 50 for Poland,90 games 50 goals and he is just 29 years old
England really didn't impress yesterday and if this form continues, I would actually say they should get knocked out as soon as it all starts. Nothing worse than to see teams just limp through.
Unless it's Syria of course! What a time for them, to draw 1-1 against the Socceroos. Feel bad for Cahill but seems like they can't beat their jinx from that part of the world. So remindful of what happened with Iran and Iraq. Now if Syria can just score once and defend like packdogs, they can live another day to fight whoever's waiting from South America.

England are now just an average team in the world probably top 20 maybe top 15 at best. The problem is the home grown talent doesn't get a chance at top flight football due to all the foreign imports. We suffer because our league is the most competative high level league in the world.
today there may be another 2 probable qualifiers in European teams, in fact if Spain (at home against Albania) and Serbia (away against Hungary) will win their matches will be mathematically qualified.
the most interesting game today is surely Turkey vs Iceland, almost a shootout in Group I where the first 4 teams are enclosed in just 2 points (the others teams are Ukraina and Croatia)

Spain will have an easy game today and I think they are already qualified. It is of no importance that the coach of Albania is Italian and said that he will play with 5 defender in hope to do Italy a favor. I don't think Albania has the capacity to withdraw Spain at home when Spain doesn't lose at home in these kind of qualifiers since the distant year 2003. I think Spain to win with a big goals difference tonight against Albania.

Norway will travel to San Marino for their world cup 2018 group stage qualification round, both of these teams have no chance to qualify for the next round anymore, so this will be a match playing mainly for pride, Norway are coming on the back of a 6-0 heavy defeat against Germany in their last match, this will be a good opportunity for Norway to restore some confidence in the team, San Marino lost all their games in the qualification round, as expected from a team of their stature, My bet will be on Norway to win the match in full time.
Both teams still play for fifa rank, I think this match will have many goals since they don't care about the world cup anymore.
It's not an indicator that the match is going to have a large amount of goals in my opinion.
Both teams don't care about the world cup anymore so they are going to play with their subs, which is going to make the game less interesting as it should be.
I think that we are going to see a low goals match, it would be something like a friendly match for both teams.
Germany and England are officially qualified to the next 2018 World Cup!
There are 10 already qualified teams at the next world cup:
Germany,England,Belgium, Brazil, Japan, Iran, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Russia,
i think England is one of the most potential teams in the coming world cup, they have a good young side including harry Kane, Rashford and so on. that is why have already qualified to the Russia world cup. i think in the European side Germany and Spain are the most favorite teams in the country.There are 10 already qualified teams at the next world cup:
Germany,England,Belgium, Brazil, Japan, Iran, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Russia,
england always good on group stages thats true but when the real tournament start they dissapoint their fans. this one will be same they wont reach even first 8 in my opinion.
playing at their home ground Argentina has dominate the game with 22 shots and 6 shots on goals but very unfortunate that's cannot make Argentina even made 1 goal and Peru has taking over Argentina position on 5th at standing league however Argentina still have a chance but only if Peru lost and upcoming game will be most important game for Peru and Argentina because it will determine which teams will goes to playoff game and i personally cannot imagine if not see Argentina at world cup because Argentina as the big team always be a part of this tournaments
