re: 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)

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.
