With 42 of the 72 games played there have been a few shocks and some interesting goal fests so far.
Every game has produced at least 1 goal and 7 of them have produced 5 or more goals.
Group A
Greece look like the team to beat having won all 3 games pretty easily (2 v Scotland and 1 v Colombia).
Race to qualify: Greece and Scotland hold the places for now but the Scots have played all 6 of their games so look very vulnerable.
Group B
Switzerland look unstoppable and are through but draw specialists Spain might cause them problems.
Race to qualify: Switzerland well ahead with Mexico in second but with only 1 game to play they are vulnerable.
Group C
Group with least matches played (unsurprisingly due to time zones). Pretty even between Chile and Ecuador but needs more mix up to judge.
Race to qualify: Chile ahead of Ecuador on goal difference for now.
Group D
The group of death - and could it be death for the favourite, with all their games played France have only managed 7 points.
Race to qualify: Netherlands are through with France currently in second but maybe vulnerable.
Group E
Only 3 games left to play and this one looks clear cut.
Race to qualify: Italy through and Belgium in second, however USA could still pip Belgium if they win their last 3 games.
Group F
Tightest group of all, and very difficult to predict.
Race to Qualify:
South Korea lead from Russia but both England and Uruguay have games in hand.
