Cape Verde likely will qualify though. Can't see Eswatini posing many issues.

Angola may be more difficult for Cameroon. If the fixtures were flipped, I'd fancy Cameroon more to get through.

Cape Verde meanwhile need to win against Eswatini on Monday to be sure of a place in the Americas next summer.

A draw would be enough if and only if Cameroon do not win their final game at home to Angola.

Unless Cameroon win. Cameroon would have them on goal difference.

Got busy so here's your updates.

Egypt are there, they've qualified.

Qatar and Oman play one of the most boring games I've ever watched.

Saudi beat Indonesia.

Ghana are close, Madagascar still have a shot at this though. Would need a win and a Comoros (who are now out) win.

Mali are out.

We've not been for 28 years and I'm absolutely desperate for us to be back there.

It's really fun to follow the journeys of the likes of Cape Verde and Uzbekistan reaching the Finals as well.

It's incredible. It's so compelling to see teams across the world trying to reach the pinnacle of the world's game.

Will never understand people who complain about the international break. It's football at its absolute finest.

Over in Libya. Over for Libya in terms of qualifying. Cape Verde get a chance to qualify on home soil instead.

Had the ball in the net at the end, but a somewhat questionable offside ruled it out.

Hey Jeff? Fuck off. Transgender people's right to exist isn't negotiable. It's a damn human right.

One more goal for them, or one for Mauritius, sends Cape Verde to the World Cup

My God that was fucking TERRIBLE. Ball passed back, he went to pick it up and it ran through his legs and into the net

Bad news for them though is that Cameroon are ahead in Mauritius

Cameroon are 0-0 in Mauritius (at the fantastically named Cote d'Or National Sports Complex Pitch 1 ), and as it stands, Cape Verde are qualifying for the World Cup
