France is not qualified yet.
I don't think they need Kante that much to secure qualification, though.

Griezmann doesn't impose himself when he plays on the right does he
3-0 Switzerland.
Great goal by Cisse to wrap it up for Senegal. Nice assist b the referee. Senegal are looking good now.
They never come last, as some would say.
Other CAF groups aren't conclusive. Hoping Cape Verde somehow squeezes through.
You never know. Belgium on the other hand...
Well beaten so it's out of their hands now.
Big win for Senegal. Now they just need 1 point to qualify.
This was so bad to watch, now Cristiano wll have to play in the second half, Santos is so basic and predictable.
Injuries can happen anytimeDon't remind me. I'm raging because of this.
Even in training
Disgraceful and painful half of football. Terrible pitch, Andorra making foul after foul with 11 players in their box and our players are a bunch of spineless idiots.
Get Cristiano on the pitch. I'd rather risk losing him against Switzerland than losing direct qualification today

That's true and all but when you play a player in meaningless game on a terrible pitch then you hold responsibility for his injury. If he's injured in training it's a bad luck, but what happened to Fellaini could have easily been avoided.
I'm watching the France game but shocked to see it's still 0-0 in Andorra. How are Portugal not comfortably ahead? Switzerland are sweeping Hungary away.
Bad luck can follow a player anywhere.
International managers have so little time with their players, so he's probably already using this as preparation for the world cup.
If they needed this preparation they wouldn't have secured the qualification 2 games before the end of qualifiers already. Their team is already settled. This was an opportunity for him to try new players that don't play often and see what he can expect from them.
Morocco-Gabon 1-0. Morocco leading the table atm.
Cheers mate
Busquets is not as great as he have been. He can get bullied more easily these days. Ramos and Pique not as great as they have been in my view either.
I do feel you could hurt them and I don't think they have enough firepower to get back up top. I guess they could just keep the ball for most of the game and that might work again. Alba and Carvajal both very good with the ball, but not outstanding defensively.
I think most players in the side are quite overrated now particular the Barcelona players even if they are still quality. I love Iniesta, but he is not that great anymore. Koke and Saul are alright, but not very convincing for me. Don't feel they add that much more. Thiago has many good qualities, but they are mainly the same as the rest of the midfielders.
The players I feel can be outstanding these days for Spain are Isco and Morata. Apart from those 2 I am not convinced by the attack at all. Silva is quality I guess, but still have very similar qualities to Isco without the ability to beat his man. Asensio has lots of talent as well, but not at the very top yet.
Anyway even with flaws they are among the top 8 teams no doubt. Still I do think Belgium will do better. They just got more variability in the attack and different types of players.
Fellaini injured for us and Kante for Chelsea. Clubs must absolutely love international football.
They think Kante has hammy injury.
He is playing in a 2-man midfield.Xhaka is playing the Ramsey position for Switzerland?
France should have won the Euros and didn't, don't know if that is a mentality thing with the team or the manager. It very well could stop them winning an even bigger trophy in the World Cup.
Good start in the second half for Bulgaria. Almost 1-1.
Did you see that shit pitch? No idea if that assisted with the injury but in this day there's no excuse for a pitch that beat up.
But it might also be an opportunity to try out various formations with players going to the world cup under a ptessureless environment.
Holland 
. 1-1.
4-0 Switzerland.
. 1-1.4-0 Switzerland.
EUFA/FIFA have got to start saying "if your pitches aren't of an international quality", you're out.
I don't think he tried a different formation today than what he's always using, did he ? It was their usual 4-3-3.
Guess who is on for Portugal
But he might want to try out something.
He is perfectly entitled to that a few months before the most important tournament in his career.
Just our bad luck.
Lacazette not good today.
Always Cristiano . 1-0.
. 1-0.Thank God for Cristiano. We're still playing like shit, Andorra have wasted more minutes laying on the ground than they have passes completed
Of course Ronaldo, that's crazy.
Bosnia is trying to secure the play off. They treated it a serious game. No pressure on Belgium players. Sure. Physical demand, mental preparation to fare against serious opponent, you must have. I meant it's like a professional fight doesn't need to win a street fight. However, he can't treat it as training as despite the quality gap between him and the amateur fighter, the amateur fighter can be dangerous as he has something to fight for.
