SUMMARY:
Germany became the first team to seal a place at the Euro 2008 Championship when they drew with nil-all with Ireland.
Despite the draw, the result left the Germans three points ahead of the Czech Republic in Group D and eight clear of third-placed Ireland, who have two games left and are very unlikely to qualify.
Group B remains the most enthralling with Italy and France in danger of missing out on a place at the finals despite wins. Scotland defeated Ukraine 3-1 and are the surprise leaders of the group on 24 points.
Italy beat Georgia 2-0 while the French recorded a comprehensive win over Faroe Islands in a 6-0 rout. Goals from Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry, Benzema (2), Rothen and Ben Arfa all got on the score-sheet.
England recorded their fifth 3-0 victory on the trot in their game against Estonia at Wembley Stadium. Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips opened the scoring in the 11th minute thanks to a superb through ball from defender Micah Richards.
In the 32nd minute, Wayne Rooney finally ended his England goal drought with a somewhat fortunate deflected goal and a minute later Taavi Rahn completed the scoring -albeit an own goal - with a superb diving header from outside the box.
