Kazakhstan the Miracle Never Occured

Wouldn't we still get a playoff, even if we finished third due to our nations league performance?

You are correct, but I was hoping to be just behind Belgium in the table and secure ourselves a better chance of a berth in the World Cup.

Naturally, I’d take a playoff spot if it meant us being given a fighting chance to make it to the tournament proper, although automatic qualification and no further nail biting until the competition itself begins in the US, would be the ideal, if a little idealistic.
