Winning the group crucial
Each European qualifying group offered up one direct route through to next year's winter competition, with the section winners guaranteed a spot, while the 10 runners-up join two Nations League teams in the play-offs, where a further three berths are up for grabs.
England through in style
England ensured that they finish top of Group I by dishing out a 10-0 thrashing to San Marino, with skipper Harry Kane netting four times for a Three Lions outfit who are now priced at 7/1 to win the World Cup in Qatar.
Meanwhile, Scotland claimed a sixth straight win by defeating previously perfect Denmark 2-0 to secure a home tie in the first round of the playoffs but froze on the night, losing at home to Ukraine.
Wales may not have won against world number-one ranked Belgium in their final qualifier, but their point was enough to seal a playoff spot behind the Red Devils, who had already taken top spot in Group E. After beating Austria 2-1, they squeezed past Ukraine to earn a first World Cup appearance since 1958.
European champions fall short
Portugal conceded a last-gasp winner at home to Serbia, with an Aleksandar Mitrovic goal enough to give the Serbs top spot in Group A and condemn the Selecao to the longer route to the finals. However, after beating Turkey 3-1, Fernando Santos' men edged out North Macedonia 2-0 to seal their spot.
Italy were held to a goalless draw in Northern Ireland, a result which allowed Switzerland to secure the honours in Group C thanks to a 4-0 thumping of Bulgaria. Disaster then struck as a late Aleksandar Trajkovski strike saw them crash out against the North Macedonians.
Poland have also qualified, seeing off Sweden on 29th March.
