Six more teams qualified for the World Cup finals today

Six more teams qualified for the World Cup finals today. I believe that this means that all the spots have been filled. Here were the results over the two (or more) legs:
  • France defeated Ireland on a controversial goal by William Gallas that followed an uncalled handball by Thierry Henry. (See photo above of French coaches celebrating.)
  • Portugal beat Bosnia-Herzegovina.
  • Slovenia upset Russia.
  • Greece upset Ukraine.
  • Uruguay beat Costa Rica.
  • Algeria defeated Egypt.
