A total of 34 teams are now certain of their places, including England, Croatia, France, Portugal, holders Argentina and World Cup debutants Cape Verde, Jordan and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
However, there are 14 spots still to be claimed.<\/p>\n
Tuesday sees two winner-takes-all games – Scotland v Denmark and Austria v Bosnia-Herzegovina.<\/p>\n
Wales are still in with a chance of finishing top of Group J but would need to beat North Macedonia and hope Belgium lose to Liechtenstein at home in their final Group J game.<\/p>\n
Switzerland and Spain will book their places barring defeats and huge goal difference swings.<\/p>\n
Joint-hosts Canada, Mexico and the United States were all granted automatic qualification.<\/p>\n
Australia, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Uzbekistan have already qualified from Asia.<\/p>\n
Oceania’s one direct qualification spot has been taken by New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Brazil, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay and Colombia are the other South American nations guaranteed a place.<\/p>\n
