Outside of the US... what qualifier are you most interested in today?

Argentina may not come out of CONMEBOL... they face Ecuador at 6:30 (central time) really needing to win (which may not be enough if Peru wins its match too, and by a wider margin... a draw could get them there with a Peru loss... but then Paraguay could slip in front of both of them with a win)
The Dutch have an even harder road to traverse to come out of UEFA. They face Sweden at 1:45 (central time)... needing to not just beat the Swedes... but beat them by A LOT (like 7 goals... yes... seven)
A couple of powerhouses (they faced each other in the 2014 WC semifinals... a 0-0 draw that ARG won in PKs) that look to be on the outside looking in to the World Cup

netherlands doesnt interest me much because i just dont see it happening.
For me the obvious answer is Argentina.

Expecting a dogdgy penalty to be given if it looks like Argentina won't advance.

That's wrong. Argentina is assured of a spot in the playoffs if they win. They can qualify directly with a win with other scenarios

Win: Guaranteed at least a playoff, and will go through automatically if Chile fail to beat Brazil or if Peru-Colombia is a draw.
Draw: Even a draw at already-eliminated Ecuador could send them straight to the finals if there is a winner in Peru vs. Colombia (though Colombia would have to lose by two goals), Chile lose by two goals and Paraguay fail to win.
Lose: Miraculously they could still make the playoffs if they lose to Ecuador, but only if Peru are beaten by a greater margin and Paraguay fail to win.

Argentina, but I'm sure they'll get into the playoffs and drop 6 or 7 on NZ.
They should hold these elimination type games in La Paz, irrespective of host. Would make it more interesting

They are setting up blockades around the Argentine FA in case they don't qualify tonight.

South America is by far the most interesting tonight, but I'll also have my eye on Switzerland-Portugal. I won't be surprised if the one of those two that fails to qualify today chokes in the playoff. Portugal has to win, a draw will do for the Swiss.

Really amazing that the Swiss are unbeaten and still aren't automatically qualified already.

Im gonna go with the obvious panama v. Costa Rica and Honduras v. Mexico. I’m so fricking nervous.

Ultimate doomsday scenario for Fox... Portugal, Argentina and US fail to qualify.
No Yanks, no Messi and no Ronaldo in the World Cup.

I'd make that sacrifice if it meant I never had to watch a match on Fox for the rest of my life.

frick that shite, I want the US in the World Cup.
Posted on 10/10/17 at 2:09 pm to Broski
The tongue in cheek didn't come through.
I'd take that terrible Fox announcer yelling "READY! AIM! ....FIRE!!!" for every freekick if it meant a World Cup birth

And the Swiss just gifted Portugal an own goal.

Greece just have to beat Gibraltar at home to secure their place in the playoff at Slovakia's expense. Up 1-0 currently.

I'm somewhat disappointed Wales didn't go through. They were so fun to watch at the Euros.
