Ultimate guide to the November international break: WCQ's, Euro 2016 KO round

The November international break includes loads and loads of games. Most of them are pretty obscure (St. Kitts and Nevis vs. Andorra in a friendly is one in particular) but others are important. For example, the biggest CONCACAF squads begin their road to Russia in 2018 World Cup qualifying, UEFA holds a playoff for the remaining teams looking to sneak into Euro 2016 and the largest South American sides continue in their quest to qualify for the World Cup.

This is your one-stop shop for all, yes I mean all, of the games from Nov. 11-18. Hey, no MLS on, so what else to you want me to do?

We start in Africa, where CAF WCQ is well underway. Already, there is a list of teams that have been eliminated:

Central African Republic, Gambia, Mauritius, Eritrea, Lesotho, Malawi, Seychelles, South Sudan, Djibouti, Kei Kamara's Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tome e Principe, and Somalia.

On Wednesday, the second round began with Mozambique defeating Gabon and Zambia beating Sudan in the first legs. Thursday will contain a series of games as well:

-Togo vs. Cedric Mabwati's DR Congo

-Namibia vs. Guinea

The second legs of all these games will come later (except for Gabon-Mozambique), but you get the idea: Africa is a big continent.

That brings us to Asia. To spare myself the duty of writing all of those games out and to spare you the duty of scrolling through them, I'll just take you to the FIFA website if you want to look at all the games. Hopefully the site isn't as corrupted as the company.

*Laughs* Thanks folks, I'll be here all day.
