The Netherlands coughed up a two goal lead to Montenegro to draw. They would've qualified had they held on but now could still miss out on the play-offs if results don't go their way.Norway really f’ed themselves this morning. Had they beaten Latvia, they would have been equal top with one fixture remaining (Netherlands). But they drew, so they are 3rd and Turkey play Montenegro.

France and Belgium qualify
4 wins out of 8 games in that group is pretty disappointingItaly forced into the play-offs once again.
That's what the nation's league is all aboutSome massive beatdowns for the minnow teams. San Marino done 10-0, Liechenstein 9-0, Kazakhstan 8-0.
IMO there should be a group with Andorra, San Marino, Liechenstein, Gibraltar & Malta with the winner of the group going into the next round of qualifying.
Seems pointless having a NT suffering constant thrashings all the time.

So deprive these nations playing against the France, England’s, Italy’s and Portugal’s of the world? It would literally make those players year swapping shirts with Ronaldo, Kane, Mbappe etc. I doubt any San Marino player cared about getting thumped 10-0 to England (maybe the goalkeeper lol). When else would any of those players be on the same pitch as the best players in the world? I doubt many of them would even play for clubs that even play in the European Conference League.
The team that wins that proposed group would go on to play those teams in the next stage of qualifying.
Most of the players are amateurs.
I feel they would enjoy a competitive comp more than being pasted every week. Lets not forget that San Marino recently managed successive 0-0 draws against Liechenstein & Gibraltar in the Nations League resulting in mass celebrations.
The other thing that could be done is run a "Least Worst World Cup". Include all the bottom 32 ranked teams in a tournament.
