If you’re a football fan and fancy watching those decisive qualifiers tie, then this Sunday is D day for you.Plenty of action across Europe promises lots of fun and excitement, with many do-or-die fixtures. The programme begins as early as 5 PM and ends after midnight…SUN: 17.00: (1.75) CROATIA (3.70) RUSSIA (5.40)##NAJAVA_MECA_5974479##Lovren (Croatia) against Zabolotny (Russia) a month ago (©REUTERS/Maxim Shemetov) There is no dilemma. Croatia – the current FIFA World Cup runners-up – must win against Russia at home to book their spot at the Qatar tournament. In case of a different outcome, the Croats will have to go to play-offs, which they want to avoid at all costs. Croatian and Russian forwards are on fire before the game, as they tarnished Malta (7-1) and Cyprus (6-0), respectively. The clash in Moscow two months ago ended in a goalless draw.SUN: 22.45: (1.50) SPAIN (4.30) SWEDEN (7.75)##NAJAVA_MECA_5974640##Traore shoots against Sweden (©Michael Campanella/Getty Images)Crucial match in Group B of the World Cup qualifiers. Sweden have reserved the spot in the play-offs but are one point adrift of Spain. Luis Enrique’s slot only needs one point tonight to achieve a direct trip to Qatar. The Swedes were unpleasantly surprised by the defeat against Georgia a few days ago, and now they will hope for some Ibra’s magic that could help them shock La Roja on their soil.SUN: 22.45 (1.80) PORTUGAL (3.40) SERBIA (6.40)##NAJAVA_MECA_5974650##CR7 throws his armband in anger against Serbia (©Srdjan Stevanovic/Getty Images)Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix… Portugal have a brutal lineup, but when they face Serbia tonight in Lisbon, it will be anything but an easy gig for CR7 and co. If Mitrovic and Vlahovic – probably two of the worlds most potent strikers at the moment – deliver expected firework, we’ll see a splendid game. Portugal need only one point to reach Qatar, but it would be an understatement to say Serbian Eagles are underdogs on death row.
