Ellada2004 Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Northern Ireland already clinched a playoff spot due to avoiding a 2 goal defeat from Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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 Share 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 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Its sorta irrelevant. By the way I read somehwere that Italy might not be seded based on their current results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yes. This is the worst result but both missing and Slovakia /Ireland going instead was the perfect plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1078 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Croatia scored again they will be seeded and now that Italy scored they will be seeded as well..

nick Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Wouldn’t N Ireland be seeded... ranked higher than Sweden or Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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).

Antaeus7 Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockafeller Skank Posted October 9, 2017 Share 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.
