In somewhat amusing news, Portugal, who only need a draw tonight to seal qualification, are 1-0 down at home to Liechtenstein, who drew 2-2 with them earlier in the competition. Bogey team!

Pauleta has scored an equaliser for Portugal against Liechtenstein.
Tunisia have equalised against Morocco, meaning they will qualify if it stays like that.

African Group 5: TUNISIA 2-2 MOROCCO An own goal from Talal El Karkouri handed Tunisia the point they needed to qualify. They are the only African team who qualified 4 years ago to do so again this time around.

the European group 4 is quite possibly the strangest group ever seen! its shocking how close it is with so many matches ended up being drawn only France beating Ireland has upset what could have been a perfect balance Israel are top having ended unbeaten and may well end up only third! If you remove the bottom 2 from the group you end up with this.. - P W D L P (first P played, 2nd points ) 1 6 1 5 0 8 France 2 6 0 6 0 6 Israel 3 5 0 5 0 5 Switzerland 4 5 0 4 1 4 Ireland with Ireland to play Switzerland in the final game of this 'group'

South America: ECUADOR 0-0 URUGUAY A goalless draw was enough to see Ecuador through to their second consecutive finals. Uruguay occupy the play-off place and are hoping for a repeat clash with Australia from 4 years ago.
