The European World Cup Qualifying scene was largely sorted over the weekend, but there are still some powerful teams with work to do.
Group G’s three-team battle will resolve this week, and Tuesday’s Netherlands – Norway contest could potentially see the Dutch, who did not qualify in 2018, back in trouble if they can’t find a win.
The Concacaf race remains tight, the U.S. men’s national team is back in action on Tuesday against Jamaica. The Americans are in control of the octagonal, but their work is far from over and can’t afford to let the hangover from Friday’s big win over Mexico linger.
Speaking of Mexico, Tata Martino and company are still licking their wounds from Friday and have to shape up for a big road contest with Canada, who is also looking for a statement win over El Tri.
In South America, Brazil has already clinched and Argentina is looking to do the same. They both tower over the Conmebol standings and the result won’t matter too much in the long run, but the star-studded sides going head to head is always a must-watch.

This Week’s Top 5 Matches to Watch
1. USMNT vs Jamaica – American fans will not be settled untill the World Cup bid is clinched. Has their team successfully turned the page from Mexico, and can they deliver another convincing win?
2. Canada vs Mexico – The Canadians are talented enough to deliver Mexico a second-straight loss.
3. Argentina vs Brazil – It’s Argentina vs Brazil. Enough said.
4. Netherlands vs Norway – The Dutch can solve their problems with a win, can they accomplish that, or will the pressure be too much?
5. Panama vs El Salvador – Panama is still very much alive in the Concacaf top 3 race, just one point out. Don’t be fooled by El Salvador’s seventh-place status, this should be a tough game.
