Nigeria are the HW nation most at risk of missing out

Some fascinating scenarios unfolding, I have been following it quite closely. I believe South Africa might be in a bit of trouble over fielding an ineligible player.

can you link to the article?

I can't see Nigeria qualifying
Senegal and Cameron have 15 points with 7 games,
Madagascar with 16 and 8 games for the top 2nd place

thanks

Last 15 and Cape Verde lead. Nigeria level with SA. DRC and Senegal, Sudan missing a chance by being 1 down. Egypt 0-0

Pap Sarr wins it for Senegal at the death. Heartbreak for the DRC.

Senegal lead

Massive win for Cape Verde, they are just a win against either Libya or Eswatini away from a World Cup debut.

Nigeria all but surely out

Even if SA get a 3 point deduction it looks almost impossible.

Osimhen has been an injury mess

J99s man.

Pretty fascinating finish in Africa coming up.

Looks quite likely Gabon are going to qualify, as will Cape Verde, then Mozambique looked well placed as well as do DR Congo and Burkina Faso have two winnable games coming up that look quite likely to give them a top four runner up spot.

Gabon probably won't directly qualify now, Ivory Coast have the bottom two in the group.
DRC also look unlikely to go straight through

The 4 best runners up are only playing for one place in the inter-confed play offs

Ah my bad, I thought the best four got an automatic, misread it.

On flashscore. Makes more sense now.

The inter-confeds will be interesting.
New Caledonia and Bolivia will be in.
Then 2 Concacaf sides, an African and Asian.

The bottom 4 in the FIFA rankings play out the semi finals, with the 2 winners facing the 2 highest ranked in finals for the 2 places.
