In the same group as Iran, Uzbekistan need one win from their last two games, one of which is away to third placed UAE, to qualify for their first World Cup.

Sudan we're top of their group, but conceded 8 minutes into injury time to draw with South Sudan, which meant DR Congo & Senegal were able to go ahead of them.

1 point between the 3 teams at the top.

That's quite the derby match. Not gonna help tensions in the area I fear.

Isco called up by Spain. Not played for the national team for 6 years.

Australia beat Japan for the first time in 16 years to effectively seal their place at the world cup as there is 1 game left, they are 3 points ahead of Saudi, who are the only team that could catch them, and have a better goal difference of +10 (they play each other in the final qualifying match)

Like Brazil will ever not qualify from a qualification process that guarantees progress to 6 out of the 9 countries in the region. Looking forward to Europe one day getting the same percentage of their teams being allowed through to a finals.

Norway 3-0 Italy

Huge for Norway fans. They've never beaten Italy in a competitive match, and the 2 world cups Norway have qualified for they've been knocked out by Italy.

Scotland 1st choice goalkeeper, Craig Gordon, was out injured, so they used Angus Gunn but he had to go off injured after 6 minutes, their 3rd choice keeper had injured himself in the warm up, the assumed next 2 choices, Liam Kelly and Zander Clarke were both unavailable through injury, so Cieran Slicker was the man to come on and play at the weekend against Iceland

Slicker is the Ipswich reserve keeper and played just 9 minutes of football this season in the FA Cup
