  1. I know Macedonia is virtually eliminated, but should they not be in the list (they can still get 2nd place in group A)?

  2. there are "only" 10000 simulations which are analysed. The VERY unlikely situation where Macedonia wins their remaining 4 games AND the play offs AND Croatia loses all remaining games was probably simulation 10001 OR had a so small possibility it didn't even get 0,01% possibility ;).

    In theory only 3 European teams are out of the competition, so there are a lot more teams who have a (theoretical) chance of qualifying. But only 38 have a >0,01% chance of qualifying. teams like Estonia & Northern Ireland can even (in theory) still become group winner.
