2010 World Champions Spain were held to a draw by 2004 European Champions Greece in their opening qualifier. Alvaro Morata put the Spaniards ahead but a second half penalty earned Greece a point. Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned from his second international retirement to provide the assist for the game's only goal as Sweden started with a win against Georgia.

Italy started with a win as they look to make amends for failing to qualify for the 2018 finals. First half goals from Domenico Berardi and Ciro Immobile were enough for them to pick up the three points against Northern Ireland. Switzerland effectively sealed victory in Bulgaria inside 12 minutes, as they stormed into a 3-0 lead. The hosts pulled one back right at the start of the second half but left themselves with too much to do.

Scotland twice came from behind to earn a point at home to Austria, thanks to John McGinn's spectacular overhead kick with 5 minutes remaining. Denmark began with a win against Israel, taking an early lead through Martin Braithwaite. They withstood a barrage from Israel but then scored a second goal against the run of play to seal the points. The Faroe Islands earned a draw with a late equaliser in Moldova.

England start with an easy and expected win in Gareth Southgate's 50th match in charge, putting five past San Marino and it should've been a lot more. Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice, with James Ward-Prowse, Raheem Sterling and debutant Ollie Watkins also on the scoresheet. England are now unbeaten in their last 22 World Cup qualifiers, going back to 2009 and haven't lost a meaningful World Cup qualifier (ie, when they haven't already sealed qualification) since losing to Northern Ireland in 2005. England are looking to qualify for a seventh consecutive World Cup for the first time ever. Their main rivals for the group Poland could only pick up a point in a sensational game in Hungary. Poland trailed 2-0 but fought back with two goals in as many minutes, only for Hungary to take the lead again, but Poland's talisman Robert Lewandowski grabbed a late equaliser. Albania earned a narrow victory in Andorra.

Four-time champions Germany started with a win as manager Joachim Low takes charge of his final qualifying matches before stepping down after this summer's Euros. Kai Havertz and Ilkay Gundogan were among the scorers as they beat Iceland 3-0. North Macedonia looked to have won a point in Romania, coming from 2-0 down to level inside the last 10 minutes, but Ianis Hagi, son of Romanian legend Gheorghe, scored a late winner for the hosts. A late own goal gave Armenia a winning start in Liechtenstein.

A comfortable win to start for Canada, who are looking to reach their first World Cup since 1986. Besiktas striker Cyle Larin scored a hat-trick as they swept aside Bermuda. Watford's Kane Crichlow scored Bermuda's goal, with their side containing several players who play for English non-league clubs.

An easy win to start for Curacao, who are managed by Guus Hiddink. Curacao, who have a large number of players who play their club football in Holland, raced into a 4-0 lead before half-time, with Huddersfield's Juninho Bacuna scoring twice. They added a fifth before the end and look like they will take some stopping in this group.

Two second half goals saw Haiti past Belize. Haiti's only previous World Cup appearance was in 1974. The match went ahead as planned despite the Belize squad being held at gunpoint shortly after their arrival in Port-au-Prince. St. Lucia's matches against Nicaragua and Haiti this month have been cancelled though I haven't seen official confirmation of their withdrawal from FIFA, so for now, they remain in the table.

A comfortable win for the group's top seeds with Terry Fenwick's side scoring all three goals in the first half. The current Trinidad & Tobago squad only has one British-based player (Watford's Daniel Phillips), compared to the squad that played at the 2006 World Cup, which had 15.

A disastrous result for Ireland, losing 1-0 at home to Luxembourg, and their 20-year wait for a World Cup appearance already looks likely to go on. Serbia are top on goals scored after coming from 2-0 down at half-time to draw with Portugal. Liverpool's Diogo Jota had put Portugal two up but goals from Aleksandr Mitrovic and Filip Kostic earned Serbia a point. Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to have scored a last minute winner but the officials ruled the ball had not crossed the line. Azerbaijan lost 2-1 in a friendly against Qatar, who have now won both of their friendlies against teams in this group.

The Czechs lead the group on goal difference after drawing at home to Belgium. Lukas Provod put the Czech Republic ahead early in the second half but Romelu Lukaku levelled with half an hour to play. Belarus started their campaign with a win, coming from behind to beat Estonia 4-2, having scored three goals in 20 minutes during the second half. Wales, who host the Czech Republic on Tuesday, beat Mexico 1-0 in a friendly this evening, a match which saw Chris Gunter win his 100th cap.

Turkey and Montenegro sit top of the group with maximum points after two games. Turkey won 3-0 Norway, with the match played in Malaga. Montenegro had a small scare when Buxton's Reece Styce equalised from the spot for Gibraltar but they soon pulled clear to claim a comfortable victory. The Netherlands dominated Latvia for 90 minutes but could only find the net twice as they got off the mark following their opening game defeat. The match was refereed by Stephanie Frappart, who became the first woman to take charge of a men's World Cup match.

Russia make it two wins out of two with victory over Slovenia. 2018 runners-up Croatia are off the mark but made hard work of beating Cyprus. Slovakia came from 2-0 down at half-time to draw with Malta but have it all to do, having only picked up two points from their first two games against the two weakest teams in the group.
