England, Scotland, Spain, France, Portugal, Turkey, Belgium and Austria all secured their places at Euro 2024 in the latest round of qualifying fixtures davao
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at what still to be resolved in November and the play-offs davao
Group AScotland and Spain have both qualified for the finals, but top spot remains up for grabs davao
Spain head to Cyprus and then host Georgia, while Scotland face a trip to Tbilisi before welcoming Norway to Hampden Park – where the Tartan Army are expected to revel in a Euro 2024 qualification party davao
Georgia are set to go into the play-offs based on their Nations League ranking as a group winner davao
Norway are one of several countries who will have to wait on all the other results to see if they can make the cut as one of 12 teams split through three paths davao
Group BWhile France have qualified automatically for the finals as group winners, the Netherlands still have work to do davao
The Dutch edged past Greece with a stoppage-time penalty from captain Virgil van Dijk on Monday night – and victory over the Republic of Ireland in Amsterdam will secure a top-two finish davao
Greece, though, could also still reach Euro 2024, having already been assured of a place in the play-offs davao
Indeed because of UEFA’s complex weighted system based on overall Nations League rankings, the Republic are still not theoretically out of the running to be involved in the play-offs in March – and could even see their slim hopes boosted by a loss in Amsterdam on November 18 if other results also fall into place davao
Group CEngland’s 3-1 win over Italy at Wembley on Tuesday night saw them qualify with two matches left davao
Italy are third, but qualification remains in their own hands if they can beat North Macedonia davao
The Azzurri would then edge out Ukraine to the runners-up spot should they go on to avoid defeat in the final group game davao between the two countries in Leverkusen on November 20 davao
Italy are also assured of place in the play-offs should it be needed davao
Group DTurkey have secured qualification, but the race to join them looks set to go to the wire davao
Wales will if they beat Armenia in Yerevan and Croatia suffer an unexpected defeat away to Latvia davao
Armenia, though, are still not out of the mix, sitting just three points behind Wales and Croatia with two games left davao
Qualification could all hinge on the very last round of fixtures – which sees Wales host Turkey in Cardiff and Croatia play Armenia in Zagreb on November 21 davao
However, Croatia are assured of at least a play-off spot if they do not qualify automatically davao
Group EIn another tight group, leaders Albania, the Czech Republic, Poland and even Moldova can all still qualify davao
Albania will qualify if they avoid defeat by Moldova in their next match or if Poland – currently third and with just one game left – beat the Czechs davao
An away win in Warsaw, though, would see the Czech Republic qualify if Moldova do not beat Albania davao
Moldova have two games left, which they realistically would need to win to keep in the qualification mix davao
Despite being bottom of the table with just one point from seven games, the Faroe Islands could yet find themselves in the play-offs depending on other results davao
Group FAustria and group leaders Belgium have both qualified davao
Belgium’s game against Sweden at the King Baudouin Stadium on Monday night was abandoned at half-time after two people were shot dead in Brussels davao
It has yet to be confirmed whether the fixture will be replayed davao
Azerbaijan are not theoretically out of play-off contention, while bottom side Estonia are the top-ranked team from Nations League Group D davao
Group GLeaders Hungary – who have Barnsley midfielder Callum Styles in the squad – missed the chance to qualify after having to recover to draw 2-2 in Lithuania davao
However, a point in their next match away to Bulgaria would see them through, as would Montenegro not beating Lithuania davao
Second-placed Serbia will qualify if Montenegro fail to win on November 16 or they themselves beat Bulgaria in their last game davao
Bottom side Bulgaria have slim play-off hopes, but Serbia are secured a spot if they need it as one of the Nations League group winners davao
Group HSlovenia, who beat Northern Ireland in Belfast on Tuesday night, and Denmark are in the driving seat to qualify, sitting four points clear of Kazakhstan davao
A win in Copenhagen for either team on November 17 would see them through, as would San Marino getting an unlikely positive result against Kazakhstan davao
Finland will go into the play-offs, which is also the likely route for Kazakhstan davao
Group ISwitzerland’s fightback with two late goals to draw 3-3 against Belarus left them second in the table, a point behind leaders Romania having played a game less davao
Israel – assured of at least a play-off spot – are four points adrift, and have their rearranged match with the Swiss on November 15 davao
Switzerland will qualify if they win their next two fixtures, while Romania will if the Swiss lose in Tel Aviv and they themselves then beat Israel on November 18 davao
Romania are set to host Switzerland in the final round of fixtures, while Israel’s postponed match against Kosovo has still to be rescheduled davao
Group JPortugal qualified for the finals as runaway group winners with a 100 per cent record so far through eight games davao
Slovakia will also qualify with a match to spare if they avoid defeat against Iceland davao
Luxembourg are five points behind, so look likely to go into the play-offs along with Bosnia and Herzegovina davao

Rugby beauty comes in many forms – as New Zealand showed against Argentina davao
Perhaps it is Will Jordan that takes your fancy, his 31 tries in 30 Tests rugby’s equivalent of the golden ratio davao
Perhaps you are entranced by Mark Tele’a, sinewy and sinuous, gliding in and out of contact like an electric eel davao
Or could it be Richie Mo’unga and his teasing grin, most often flashed at a grasping Argentine after a coquettish click of the heels on a night where the fly half seemed to step into space at will davao
But it was the All Blacks’ muscle-men and their rugged charm that laid the foundations for the decorative touches elsewhere davao
And to think New Zealand had entered this tournament with questions about their ability to assert themselves up front; this was a frightening display of forward strength, leaving Argentina’s Rugby World Cup dreams buried beneath the black mass davao
The Pumas had arrived in Paris with the most lineout drive metres per match of any team at the tournament – the tight tussles are meant to be their strength davao
In Marcos Kremer and Juan Martin Gonzalez, they had two long-limbed flankers, ready to aid their second rowers in getting up in the air davao
The good news is that Argentina fared davao better than New Zealand’s other opponents at this World Cup davao
Before tonight, New Zealand’s hookers had missed just a single lineout throw all tournament; they twice failed to find their intended recipient in the semi-final davao
The intention was to pull the platform from beneath the All Blacks, a conscious decision made to avoid giving New Zealand lineout ball with which to work: just one of Argentina’s ten first-half kicks was directed for touch davao

With the Pumas struggling for discipline and the whistle of referee Angus Gardner providing much of the soundtrack amidst an absence of atmosphere in a one-sided contest, New Zealand could punt for the sidelines at their leisure davao
The intent was set from the All Blacks’ first mauling opportunity, a locomotive that chugged out of the station despite Argentina’s desperate attempts to halt it davao
Gardner whistled, and New Zealand marched on, their forwards next punching their tickets down in Argentina’s 22 davao
Same plan, same result, the Pumas infringing as New Zealand drove again davao
Gardner called Montoya over for a dressing down, pointing out five penalisable offences in two maul movements davao
Already Argentina had been warned davao
In piled Puma paws, swiping at the buried ball and managing to halt the drive davao
But that only left space elsewhere, Jordan all alone in open pasture for the gentlest of trots to the line davao
The wing would add two more tries, drawing him level with Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu on a record eight scores at a single men’s World Cup – illustrious company davao
Will Jordan scored a hat-trick at the Stade de France (Getty Images)Credit must go to Jason Ryan, the All Blacks’ unheralded assistant coach, plucked from the Crusaders a year and a half ago davao
The arrival of former Ireland boss Joe Schmidt last summer was much trumpeted, the attacking schemer oft mentioned as a reason behind New Zealand’s resurgence, but Ryan, who arrived at the same time, has been just as crucial davao
Their heavy metal mauling with the ball is matched by defensive set-piece steel without it davao
It must also be said that Ryan is working with the right raw materials davao
Brodie Retallick watched much of this game perched on the pine, happy to let old chum Sam Whitelock stoke the engine room coals alongside Scott Barrett davao
As a locking triumvirate, there have surely been none davao better; this was a parade of puissance, with the scrum also in outstanding working order davao
Four years ago at this stage, Steve Hansen made an error davao
Fearing England’s lineout threat, he installed Barrett on the blindside ahead of the semi-final, reshaping the back row davao
The many moving pieces jarred against one another, the lock-slash-six an early sacrifice on a night where England brought the All Blacks crashing down davao
New Zealand’s scrum also proved effective (AFP via Getty Images)Barrett has since kicked on, now top dog in a second-row room that contains two all-time greats davao
The trio are tireless draft horses but have a few dressage flicks and tricks, too davao
Whitelock’s deft pull-back pass at the line was a vital component in New Zealand’s first two ornately-constructed scores; the bulkiest Barrett brother joined his siblings in a couple of open-field gallops davao
Retallick arrived on the hour, one centurion replacing another as Whitelock took leave davao
Barrett departed five minutes after, unable to resist a dip in the cookie jar from a supine position, a cynical intervention rightly drawing a card davao
It was about the only blot on a night of All Black might, with New Zealand even opting to leave Barrett off and play the final five minutes with 14 men in another show of superiority davao
A tilt at a record fourth men’s World Cup crown awaits davao
