Ellada2004 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 I was thinking the same thing yesterday. That amazing half volley goal Tzavellas scored gained us a vital point on the last kick of the match and Bosnia dropped 2 points. That goal played a huge part in putting us in this position. It’s been an interesting campaign that’s for sure. I think we would match up well with the Swedes if they are a pot 1 team. 1
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Today rooting for Ukraine.Iceland and Ireland so that more teams of our level end up in the playoffs.
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Iceland is the leader of the group, a win will see them qualify for FIFA World Cup for the first time in national teams history. Edited October 9, 2017 by Molon Lave
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Yep. Iceland win and Ukraine win means Ukraine gets in the play offs sending Northern Ireland and possibly Slovakia/Ireland in the play offs.
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Northern Ireland already clinched a playoff spot due to avoiding a 2 goal defeat from Norway.
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 2nd half is soon on. Slovakiaa qualifies if both games Wales/Ire and Ukr/Cro end in a draw. Slovakia has a +5 GD and Croatia a + 2 GD. Wales has a +2 as well but have scored 7 Goals (minues the ones vs last placed Moldova) and Croatia has scored 6. Honestly Croatia is another top team who we ll be the ultimate underdog against so Id rather a Wales and Slovakia came in instead. Rep of Ireland even better but I doubt it ll happen.
J1078 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I want Wales to win as they would be a seeded team and I would love if Ukraine beat Croatia.. but honestly Italy does not look good right now, they dropped points against Macedonia and are struggling against Alabama..

Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Its sorta irrelevant. By the way I read somehwere that Italy might not be seded based on their current results.
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Ireland scored. We just want Ukraine to score too to make sure Cro dont get in.
J1078 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Ya s%$#! Croatia scored.. wouldn't we rather wales beat Ireland as Wales would be a seeded team?
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Yes. This is the worst result but both missing and Slovakia /Ireland going instead was the perfect plan.
J1078 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Croatia scored again they will be seeded and now that Italy scored they will be seeded as well.. Damn it looks to be a tough draw.. let's hope Portugal isn't there as well..F*** need wales to score and tie the game..
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Croatia will be heading for the playoffs with a 2 goal lead in Ukraine Ireland winning over Wales 1-0

Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Not even a red card in the Ukr - Cro final. Is this the Ex Yugoslavia we ve dreamt of? Definately not.

Um No... thats not what I said at all.. actually I don't think anyone we play would be a "cake walk" Swiss would be tough but I think Portuga right now would be a little tougher..
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Seeded: Switzerland/Portugal Italy Croatia Denmark/Sweden Unseeded Sweden/Denmark Republic of Ireland Northern Ireland Greece Croatia Denmark/Sweden really look appealing considering the other 2. 1

I completely agree. 1
nick Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Wouldn’t N Ireland be seeded... ranked higher than Sweden or Denmark
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Denmark currently Drew but Sweden tomorrow with a win over Netherlands I expect them to go better. Northern Ireland just lost twice in a row so they ll drop a lot. October rankings are the one that are accounted (that's why the draw is 17 October to wait for the rankings of October which have a fix date at 16). Edited October 9, 2017 by Rockafeller Skank
Ellada2004 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Congratulations Serbia are in World Cup and Iceland. wales and Ukraine go out.
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Can the Netherlands go to the playoff with a simple win over Sweden, or do they have to score in bunches to get in?
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 They need to win them 8-0 dude. The only other possible scenario on that Group is France losing points to Belarus and Sweden winning, giving us an extra powerhouse as an opponent.
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 OK, so it's not like UEFA system where head to head counts. Just checking. :-) 1
