Predictions:

Germany to qualify. The Czechs tend to underachieve at WCQ, and one can't see the N Irish qualifying for 2 tournaments in a row. So Norway to finish a creditable 2nd. Azerbaijan to underperform (probably just the 6 points out of 30).

[bermuda3eck]

Germany with walk in the park.
Then the Czechs.
I hope and can imagine that the Azeris can be surprise a little bit. Maybe they could fight for 3rd place.

Finally England are separated from San Marino, so San Marino 6th without any rivalry!

[Firnen]

Germany 1st easily. Czech Republic vs Northern Ireland for the 2nd place but none make it to Russia. Norway is a constant underperformer, they missed theit chanche in the barage against Hungary. Azerbaijan 5th, San Marino 0 points.

[SirHenri]

First minutes shaky, Norway had a good chance,but then we awoke quicklyand scored at '15, Müller found the net again after 11 months.

[greenbay]

Germany easily win 3-0 in Norway. Even better, Czech Rep and N.I. draw.

[Todor]

A group like this with the teams from pots B, C and D been quite equal in strength is perfect for any Pot A team, as it's very likely that the teams below will lose points against each other, which leaves a margin for error for the favourite and takes plenty of the pressure away.

Standings after MD 3
Germany 9
Azerbaijan 7
Northern Ireland 4
Norway 3
Czech Republic 2
San Marino 0

So N.I. vs Azerbaijan on MD4 will be quite a crucial game for the play-off spot. If they draw, there might be a chance that the worst runner-up will come from this group. Too many draws against the third- and fourth-ranked and likely 0 points from the matches against the group winner puts you in a dangerous position.

[pedrinho33]

Czechs (surprisingly) with Cyprus are last teams without scoring a goal in this WCQ.

[bermuda3eck]

Standings after MD 3
Germany 9
Azerbaijan 7
Northern Ireland 4
Norway 3
Czech Republic 2
San Marino 0

So N.I. vs Azerbaijan on MD4 will be quite a crucial game for the play-off spot. If they draw, there might be a chance that the worst runner-up will come from this group. Too many draws against the third- and fourth-ranked and likely 0 points from the matches against the group winner puts you in a dangerous position.

Happy with the performance from the Azerjis .

I think the Wales/Austria /Serbija/Ireland/ Georgia/Moldova will have the weakest 2nd and as 2nd choice : Croatia/Island/Turkey/Ukrainia/Finnland/ Kosovo but this group have their "chance" too.
