One team per day! France may advance to the World Cup, but Germany’s victory is not enough

1:28pm, 11 October 2025【Football】

With the deepening of the World Cup qualifiers, a new team has been added to the World Cup every day in the past two days. Soon, the traditional European giants France and Germany will make their debut. However, the fate of the two teams is completely different. France can advance in advance if it meets two conditions. Even if Germany wins the game, it may not be enough.

In the just-concluded game, Algeria, from Group G in Africa, won a three-goal away game. Former Manchester City player Mahrez scored both goals and assists. After taking all three points, Algeria leads the second place by as many as 4 points and qualified for the World Cup one round in advance. It is also the fourth team in Africa to advance.

Earlier, Salah scored twice to help Egypt return to the World Cup after eight years. For two consecutive days, an African team advanced every day. Subsequently, two World Cup regulars, Senegal in Group B and Cote d'Ivoire in Group F, have the opportunity to advance one round in advance. Will one team per day continue? No matter what the result is, within next week, the African region will complete all the group stage matches, and there will definitely be 5 participating teams, and another 4 teams competing for a ticket to the intercontinental play-offs.

The European region has also concluded many games. The Faroe Islands in Group L defeated the Faroe Islands with four goals and rose to third place in the group. Although they are too far away from the top two, they have no chance to participate even in the play-offs. This also shows that the European underdogs are not without merit. After Croatia in the same group drew with the Czech Republic in an away game, the suspense of promotion has basically disappeared. The two teams have the same points, and the remaining teams are facing underdogs. However, Croatia has one game less and has an 11-goal lead in goal difference. The 40-year-old veteran Modric played the entire game. It is no longer difficult for him to participate in the World Cup for the last time.

The Netherlands in Group G and Austria in Group H both came back with big wins. The Netherlands leads by 3 points, and Austria leads Bosnia and Herzegovina by 2 points with a game in hand. The two teams have great hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. The situation in Group C is quite delicate. Denmark and Scotland share 7 points. The two teams meet in the final round. Two Napoli teammates and old teammates of Manchester United, Hoylen and McTominay, will face off to compete for a place to directly advance to the World Cup.

Later, it was France and Germany's turn to play. There is still some doubt whether Mbappe can play. After switching to Newcastle, Walter Mader, who performed well, is expected to be absent due to the flu. The situation of the two teams is very different. France in Group D has won two consecutive games, while Iceland and Ukraine ended in draws. If these two conditions are met, France can qualify for the World Cup two rounds in advance next week.

Germany in Group A is currently only ranked third in the group due to their defeat in the first round. If they want to win the first place in the group, winning four consecutive games is the best option. In this round, Germany faces Luxembourg at home, and it is not difficult to get all three points. However, three points are not enough. Germany needs to score more goals in front of the underdogs in order to have a goal difference advantage in the event of a tie. Germany, which does not have strong offensive power and lacks Walter Mader, midfielders such as Wirtz must shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring goals.

Belgium in Group J faces North Macedonia at home, which is also worthy of attention. Belgium's only defeat came from North Macedonia, and it was also the team that prevented Italy from qualifying for the World Cup a few years ago. Currently, Belgium is 1 point behind North Macedonia, who have played one more game, and the same point as Wales, who have also played one more game. If they can win at home, Belgium will be very confident in advancing to the World Cup. If it fails to win, I believe this group will become very chaotic, and all three teams will have the opportunity to compete for the top spot in the group.

Switzerland in Group B challenged Sweden away from home, which was supposed to be a key match for advancement. However, Sweden, which has two top scorers in Isaac and Dzekeresh, had a draw and a loss in the first two games, almost ruining its dream of the World Cup. In this game, Sweden can only have a chance to participate in the World Cup if it wins, and at least retains the hope of the play-offs. On the contrary, if Switzerland wins, World Cup qualification is basically impossible to escape.

Currently, including the three hosts, 20 teams have confirmed their participation in the World Cup. In the past two weeks, there will be 7 more places in Asia and Africa. You can wait and see who will win.
