Much appreciate you doing these updates @LewisGT many thanks, 🙂

Croatia beating Czech Republic 5-1 would that be considered an surprise result?

The scoreline more than anything, but Croatia beating anyone is far from a surprise in itself.

Good result for Finland!

Indeed, an great result for Finland.

I see that the Poland head coach Michal Probierz has resigned as head coach, after an row with Robert Lewandowski who said that he wouldn't play for the national team again as long as Probierz was the coach.

In Group H, we'll see an country make an return to the World Cup after an absence:

Bosnia-Herzegovina: One appearance in 2014

Austria: Last appearance was in 1998

Romania: Last appearance was also in 1998.

Barring an miracle, it would be Cyprus's first World Cup and in odds probably triple the size of when Leicester City won the Premier League, San Marino.
