Tuesday's games, all kick offs are 1945 UTC (2:45pm eastern) except the Iraq game which is 1600 (11am eastern):
Europe group B - Kosovo 1-1 Switzerland, Sweden 1-1 Slovenia - Second game is a battle for third with Switzerland and Kosovo having booked the two top spots. Who goes straight through and who goes into the playoffs isn't mathematically certain, but the Swiss lead by three points and 11 goals so are lukewarm favourites to qualify at least.
Europe group D - Belarus 0-0 Greece, Scotland 4-2 Denmark - Denmark surprisingly dropping points at home to Belarus left the door wide open for Scotland to get a big advantage, but they couldn't win in Greece, so rather than needing a draw to qualify, they must win. Whoever doesn't win the group has the playoff spot, Greece and Belarus are just playing for pride.
Europe group E - Bulgaria 2-1 Georgia, Spain 2-2 Turkey - Pretty similar to the first group. Bulgaria and Georgia basically have nothing to play for, Spain and Turkey will qualify and get the playoff spot respectively unless Turkey can win in Spain by at least seven goals.
Europe group H - Austria 1-1 Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania 7-1 San Marino - Both the teams in the first game did their job yesterday and they play for all the marbles, Austria having home advantage and a two point lead so win or playoffs for Bosnia. Romania are guaranteed third and will at least get some shooting practice in.
Europe group J - Belgium 7-0 Liechtenstein, Wales 7-1 North Macedonia - Belgium should have been on the beach already, but surprisingly dropped points in glorious nation Kazakhstan so they still have work to do. That said, if you've seen Liechtenstein on a map, first good job finding it, and second this is the equivalent of a one inch putt. The other game is huge. both teams level on points two behind the Belgians so this'll decide the playoff contender. Wales have home field advantage but North Macedonia only nwws ro draw.
Asian playoff - Iraq 2-1 UAE - Second leg of their two leg playoff, the first finishing all square, so everything to play for, and by everything I mean a place in interconfederation roulette.
