Need one of Portugal or Wales to win on Tuesday and get the job done against Ireland. Think I'm right in saying any win would be enough if Wales win. Is it not just a case that we beat ROI that's us at the World Cup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Aye so either Portugal or Wales would need to win. Even if Iceland win on penalties and get one point we'd still be third 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win in normal time we need one of: - Portugal beat Iceland (by same or less margin) - Wales beat Switzerland If we win in extra time we need one of : - Portugal beat Iceland in ET (by same or less margin) - Wales beat Switzerland Think that's right but happy to be corrected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez how bizarre. Then we need to play another game if those permutations happen or straight through to the WC? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this 9 group thing to do with Russia being expelled or just Fifa being Fifa and complicating things? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) No, this is just FIFA making things quite complicated. I think the expectation would be that we would be strong favourites based on the other teams that we would come up against in the intercontinental play off if we make it there. I think that's quite complicated too. will need to check the wiki again. From what I can work out, we would be seeded, and end up in group A as the top seeds, only having to play 1 game to qualify and we couldnt play any other of the seeds. so I think the teams in bold below are the ones we could play. Chinese taipei (38) Thailand (41) Cameroon (59) Senegal (84) Haiti (56) Panama (57) Paraguay (51) Chile (39) Papa New Guinea (49) But great performance from the team. They maybe edged the first 90 but we bossed them in extra time Edited October 6, 2022 by Spectre 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll teach me to skim through the page. Probably the weakest team in the draw... Let's just hope for a penalty win by Portugal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Was checking the updates at The Menzingers gig and absolutely delighted we did it. Can't wait for Hampden on Tuesday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Will be there on Choozday. Great battling by our women on a horrible night. FIFA qualifying tournament organisers can go take a jump, but. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the crowd size was decent enough. Record crowd and had it been a sunny evening you could have added a lot more but that weather definitely would have made a lot of folks mind up for them I think. I'd imagine and even bigger crowd come Tuesday night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Not that there's anything the SFA could've done about it but the Ireland game clashing with Celtic v Leipzig is less than ideal as is moving it to an 8pm kick off for those taking kids. I didn't bother last night due to the weather but will get along on Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
