A little over a year before the 2022 World Cup, which will bring together 32 nations (November 21 - December 18, 2022), the qualifications are reaching their decisive phase in Europe and are taking shape in South America.
In the europe zone, the top ten in the group, qualified directly, will all be known on Tuesday.
The top ten second in the group will have to go through play-offs, which will grant three places for Qatar.
Already five European qualifiers
Of all the European nations, Denmark, with 9 victories in as many games, 30 goals scored, only one conceded, was the first to validate its ticket for Qatar, securing 1st place in group F from October 12.
Germany (group J) also secured their qualification with a demonstration against Lichtenstein 9-0 on Thursday, followed by France (group D) and Belgium (group E) on Saturday night.

This Sunday, Croatia blew away the qualification to Russia, thanks to a 1-0 victory, obtained on a Russian goal against its camp at the end of the match.
Two additional tickets awarded this Sunday evening
Tonight's Portugal - Serbia (group A) match (8:45 p.m.) will decide which of the two opponents will qualify without going through the jump-off.
Portugal just need a draw, while Serbia absolutely needs to win.
The situation is the same before Spain - Sweden (group B) this evening (8:45 p.m.).
For Sweden led by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, any result other than a victory over La Roja would qualify the latter.
The last three tickets Monday and Tuesday
Italy and Switzerland are tied before the last matches of Group C, this Monday evening 8:45 pm: Northern Ireland - Italy and Switzerland - Bulgaria.
Consequently, the European champion and the winner of France in 1 / 8th of the Euro will compete from a distance for first place.
Everything is not recorded in Group I of England before the last matches of this Monday evening (8:45 p.m.) but there is little doubt that the Three Lions, traveling to San Marino, will not be joined by Poland , opposed to Hungary.
Finally on Tuesday evening, the meeting between the Netherlands and Norway (group G) turns out to be a sort of group final.
A draw could be enough in the Netherlands to validate their going to Qatar.
But in this eventuality Turkey, 3rd in the group, two points behind the Dutch, could win the bet in the event of victory in Montenegro.
In Am'Sud, Argentina can join Brazil on Wednesday
Brazil, already qualified for Qatar, travels to Argentina overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday (0:30).
If Lionel Messi and his family dominate Neymar and his comrades, the Albiceleste will have almost confirmed his qualification for the next World Cup.
