Such childish...

Definitely no leftists there, as some might say.

Somebody please explain why all 3 Concacaf groups get to play at the same time tomorrow night.

I can understand the last matches in the group to be played simultaneously, but all 3 groups at 1:00 GMT limits severely the option for the TV viewers and has no sense whatsoever.

Time for Netherlands to not do something stupid against Lithuania  

 

If it does, and Lithuania wins by say 1 goal difference, older viewers will relive a trauma considering they experienced the highly-likely bribed Spain - Malta 12-1 in 1984 and, you know, Poland is playing......Malta  

 

It might be less tempting for Malta to give up their honor for some houses in Poland than it was back in the 80's for a bunch of Spanish luxury villas, and Maltese players of today may get paid better than Maltese players of the 80's, but still better avoid even the chance of such a repeat

Zalewski picked up a yellow card vs Malta and will miss the first playoff leg - we have two YC in the first 17 mins vs the minnows

1-1. Malta scores for the first time ever vs Poland!

Slovakia however pays the penalty of going without a goal in this match.
