Are Albania going to qualify automatically if they win tonight?

A point behind Denmark. Winning 3-0 and will qualify if they win.

couple of reds for serbia (matic and kolorov), suspensions carry over into the next competitive games and not friendlies right? if so, serbia v wales first up please!

forgot these were in albania's group as well. great effort from the albanians.

Shame for Hungary hope they'll get through playoffs, AS it looks unlikely they will the best 3rd placed team.

To be fair, if they can't beat Greece in the form they're in then they deserve to finish third

Still it's a great improvement for them. Always good to see them doing quite well. A real sleeping giant.

Would love to see them at the major tournament.

they have one of the worst points totals out of the 3rd place teams don't they? what's the quota on that anyway? i'm guessing it's avg. points per game, or is Group I just top 2 and 3rd place don't even get a sniff?

how many teams in the play offs? 8? because that's every group bar 1.

Ahhh FFS, the micks are starting Coleman. That's him out until Christmas.

...only just found out this is tonight, I'd like the Irish to qualify. Amazing they have a chance. Can't understand, though, why Coleman is with the squad. Surely if he has missed so many club games he should have his feet up at home.

Good luck Ireland.
