| 0:05.0 | Kay Murray, Casey Keller, Alejandro Moreno and Shackah Hisloff here in the studio, |
| 0:12.0 | continuing with World Cup qualifying talk and more teams booking their spot to the World Cup next summer. |
| 0:18.0 | One of them being Germany who did book their spot after putting six |
| 0:22.3 | past Slovakia on the night. Both teams were level on 12 points at the top of Group A |
| 0:27.3 | coming into it but Julian Nagelsmann's men were ruthless and are now heading to the |
| 0:32.3 | World Cup next summer. We're welcoming Mario Melchiot in to talk more about what |
