What every European country needs to qualify for Qatar World Cup 2022

Harry Kane surpassed Wayne Rooney as England's record scorer in competitive games with a perfect hat-trick at Wembley.

The Three Lions close out their Group I campaign against minnows San Marino on Monday but what do they need to qualify for Qatar next year?

talkSPORT.com has all the details here…

Group A

Portugal drew level with Serbia on 17 points after being held to a 0-0 draw away to Republic of Ireland on Thursday.

The two sides play each other on Sunday and Cristiano Ronaldo's side currently top the group on goal difference.

It means Portugal only need to avoid defeat at home to qualify for the World Cup while Serbia must win if they are to avoid the playoffs.

Group B

Sweden handed Spain the initiative by slipping to a 2-0 defeat to Georgia on Thursday which left them on 15 points.

Spain moved one point above them with victory in Greece and now only need to avoid defeat to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Co. on home soil on Sunday.

Sweden meanwhile know that nothing less than a win is required to avoid ending up in the playoffs for the World Cup.

Group C

Jorginho's late penalty miss in Italy's 1-1 draw with Switzerland has meant it is all to play for between these two sides heading into the final fixture.

Both teams are on 15 points but the Azzurri have a slight advantage with a superior +11 goal difference compared to the Swiss' +9.

Switzerland will need to either better Italy's result against Northern Ireland on Monday or beat Bulgaria by at least two goals more than Roberto Mancini's men to draw level on goal difference.

If Italy and Switzerland finish level on points and goal difference (and goals scored), Switzerland would then qualify on head-to-head on away goals.

Group D

France sealed their place at the World Cup as group winners on 15 points with a convincing 8-0 win over Kazakhstan on Saturday.

Finland on 11 points need a win at home to France to definitely secure the playoff place although they will be second regardless if Ukraine do not beat Bosnia.

Ukraine, who are two points behind, need to win in Bosnia and rely on Finland losing or drawing against Kylian Mbappe and Co.

If Finland draw and Ukraine win by one goal then goal difference would be level and it would come down to goals scored.

If goals scored is the same as well then Ukraine finish second on head to head.

Group E

Belgium qualified for the World Cup as group winners on 19 points with their 3-1 win at home to Estonia.

Wales are second on 14 points, three ahead of Czech Republic and both have already secured a playoff place via the Nations League if they finish third.

However, second place means being seeded in the playoff draw and Wales need at least a point at home to Belgium to finish runners-up.

For the Czech's, they have to win at home to Estonia, and rely on Roberto Martinez's men to beat the Dragons to end the group level on points.

Czech Republic are also two goals shy of Wales' +5 goal difference and Gareth Bale and Co. win the head the head if records are identical.

Group F

Denmark have qualified as group winners on 27 points and only have their perfect winning record to protect in their final game against Scotland.

The Tartan Army will be in the playoffs as runners-up after Nathan Patterson's first international goal set them on their way to a 2-0 win against Moldova.

Although Austria can't overtake them, they will join them in the next phase of qualifying after winning their Nations League group.

Group G

The Netherlands (20 points) still need a point at home to Norway to qualify after throwing away a two goal lead against Montenegro.

The Dutch would miss out on the playoffs and finish third in the group if they lose and Turkey win with Stefan Kuntz's side level with Norway on 18 points.

Turkey are second with one better goal difference following their 6-0 win over Gibraltar and a win away to Montenegro guarantees at least a playoff spot - a draw would still be enough if Norway lose.

Turkey can even qualify as group winners if they are victorious and Norway beat Netherlands by the same or a lower margin.

For Norway, they will earn a playoff place with a win in the Netherlands while automatic qualification would be if they get the three points by a greater margin than Turkey or if the latter fails to win at all.

Likewise, a draw for the Norwegians puts them in the playoffs if Turkey lose.

If the two sides finish with identical records Turkey win the head to head and finish either as group winners with a victory or in second with two defeats.

If both Turkey and Norway draw, Turkey are second on goal difference.

Group H

Much more straightforward here as Croatia sealed qualification for Qatar on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Russia.

The two sides were involved in a two-horse race heading into the final fixture, with Luka Modric and Co. knowing only a win would suffice.

And Fyodor Kudryashov's late own-goal meant Croatia finished on 23 points, one above Russia who will now enter the playoffs as runners-up.

Group I

England have all-but sealed qualification on 23 points, with the Three Lions only needing a point against San Marino to seal their World Cup spot.

If the unthinkable happens and Gareth Southgate's side are defeated then Poland in second would need a victory and a six-goal swing against Hungary.

Robert Lewandowski and Co. are currently on 20 points and a win against the Hungarians would still put them in contention of being seeded in the playoffs.

Group J

Germany are through as group winners with a 9-0 win over Liechtenstein putting them on 24 points, nine ahead of their nearest challengers.

A battle for the playoff spot is brewing with North Macedonia (15 points) knowing they will be in the playoffs with a win at home to Iceland.

They will also progress as runners-up if Romania, who are a point behind and have vastly inferior goal difference, fail to beat Liechtenstein.

For Romania, they must beat Liechtenstein and hope North Macedonia lose or draw to steal second spot.

Armenia also technically have a mathematical chance if they beat Germany, North Macedonia lose, Romania don't win and a goal difference deficit of 18 is somehow overturned.
