Who will be the 32 elected?
The qualification campaign for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar continues and, if a few selections already have their tickets in their pockets, many are still to be distributed.
Favorable tie-off, great danger, glance at the Amsud and Africa zones: full point on the qualifiers.
They are already qualified
Host country, Qatar will obviously participate in the competition it will organize in a little over a year (November 21 - December 18).
For all the others, it will be played on the field.
Among the European teams, two have already obtained their tickets: Germany and Denmark.
Like its resounding success, 9-0, Thursday, against Liechtenstein, the Mannschaft perfectly mastered its qualifying campaign, marked only by a single surprise addict, at home, in front of North Macedonia (2-1) , last March.
And what about the Danes.
9 victories in as many games, 30 goals scored, only one conceded.
The semi-finalists of the last Euro have crushed Group F and can hope to shine again in the next international competition.
On the night of Thursday to Friday, the Brazil of Neymar and Marquinhos also qualified, thanks to a narrow victory (1-0) against Colombia in Sao Paulo, ensured by a goal from Paqueta.
A qualification five days from the end which rewards an almost perfect course for the five-time world champions, with 11 wins in 12 matches.

They are almost there
The Blues, who host Kazakhstan, at the Parc des Princes, can validate their qualification this Saturday evening if they are successful.
The point of the draw could also be enough for them if Finland and Bosnia part back to back.
Carried by Harry Kane's hat-trick, England took another step towards the World Cup by outclassing Albania at Wembley (5-0) on Friday.
The last step should only be a formality for the selection of Gareth Southgate, on the ground of San Marino, last of group I with nine defeats in as many games.
Perfect night!

On the verge of elimination two months ago, Spain is now very close to planning its trip to Qatar: a draw on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in Seville against Zlatan Ibrahimovic's Sweden in the final duel of group B would be enough for him. to qualify.
In sight, for La Roja, an eleventh consecutive participation in the World Cup.
For the Red Devils and the Oranje too, it's almost good.
The Belgians (16 points) can only be caught up with Wales (11 points), their runner-up in Group E, in the event of surprising poor performance.
Protected by a largely favorable goal difference, the Dutch (17 points, + 9) can, except for a huge card from Norway (17 points, + 9) and Turkey (15 points, + 4), be satisfied with two draws at Montenegro on Saturday (8.45 p.m.) and against Norway on Tuesday (8.45 p.m.).
Finally, the Argentina of a Messi who played a quarter of an hour and a scorer Di Maria in Uruguay (1-0), Friday, has a foot in Qatar.

Beware of misstep
Brilliant European champion this summer, Italy has no room for error if it wants to give itself a chance to go to Qatar.
Hung in Rome by Switzerland (1-1) on Friday, the Nazionale is leader of Group C on goal difference, tied on points with the Helvetians.
The Italians and the Swiss will therefore play their qualification Monday in the height of suspense, respectively in Northern Ireland and at home against Bulgaria.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal too, are evolving on a thread.
Frustrated in Ireland (0-0) Thursday, the Seleção can be satisfied with a draw during the shock at the top of Group A against the Serbs to directly validate their ticket for Qatar.
But beware of the misstep: a defeat will condemn it once again to go through the perilous exercise of dams.

The Africa zone
This Sunday, Ghana-South Africa and DR Congo-Benin, will distribute two tickets for the 3rd and final qualifying phase of the Africa zone.
Ghana must beat South Africa to recover from three points behind.
The Écureuils du Bénin, for their part, can reach the last round of qualifying for the first time without losing in Kinshasa.
The lucky ones will join Morocco, Senegal, Mali and Egypt, already qualified for the third and final phase, where ten countries will compete in pairs for Africa's five places in Qatar.
Algeria, meanwhile, is only one point away from qualifying for this final round.
A draw against Burkina Faso on Tuesday was enough for him.
