I think it will be 3 out of four of the home nations getting to Russia, I'll be controversial and say it will be England missing out on automatic qualifying as I think Scotland are more than likely to push us down into the play off spots and both Wales and republic getting through I can't see N. Ireland making it out of their group.
I would not be surprised that if all four nations qualified they were forced to withdraw as our political relationship with Russia and Putin worsens....I for see a political minefield ahead with the Government pressurising sports bodies not to compete in any sporting events in Russia

FIFA not recognising Gibraltar?

Gibraltar aren't a member of FIFA but they are members of EUFA. So they only play in European competitions.

Because its seen as a British overseas terortory and not an independant country

Gibraltar are appealing against FIFA's refusal to accept them and are awaiting a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Funny, I recognise it easy enough. Tell Blatter it's the small rocky one.

I suspect Spain might have a hand in the failure by FIFA to recognise Gibralter
