Bully Wee Villa Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) So, if I have got it right, if we win in normal or extra time that will be good enough if: Wales eliminate Switzerland OR Portugal win on penalties or by the same or a smaller margin than we win. If we win on penalties that will be enough if: Wales win on penalties or by one goal OR Portugal win on penalties. That look about right?

TBH I'll be astonished if Wales manage to win in Switzerland. I think all eyes will be on Pacos de Ferreira (yes I had to google that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I'm honestly so perplexed about how this qualifying works. I dont remember it being like this when we qualified for France in 2019. Seems daft that all the games are kicking off at 6pm whilst we are at 8pm. Normally in a "do or die" situation like this all games KO at the same time! Hoping Wales get the win and us of course. Would be good to have 3 UK teams there as I at least know who most of their players are 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The World Cup has expanded since 2019 - it was 24 then and will be 32 this time. It's basically come around because Europe has 11 qualifying spots plus one place in the sort of repechage thing (compared to 8 last time).Clearly there needs to be some way to differentiate between the play-off winners to decide who ends up in the repechage, the alternative would have been some complex group stage with the top 2 going through and 3rd dropping into the repechage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I worded it poorly, but I just meant for that tournament as a whole. Fair enough theyve expanded it, but trying to work out the ramifications is mind blowing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Switzerland very frustrating to watch. Passing back to the GK all the time. The great Welsh hope for qualification Fishlock has barely touched the ball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 So far so good, Mon Wales. If it stays like this any method of victory would be enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales beat Bosnia, say they win this game, why are they going to another play off game? Whereas we beat Austria and ROI and went straight through? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) Only the best two playoff winners qualify automatically, the remaining playoff winner goes into a further playoff with teams from the rest of the world. For the purposes of working out which are the best two, you take their group records and add on what they would have got in this playoff if it was a league game. The result of the previous playoff round doesn't count because none of the seeded teams played in that round, so forget our respective scores against Austria/Bosnia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_FIFA_Women's_World_Cup_qualification_–_UEFA_play-offs And, bugger, Switzerland level.

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Oooh... never seen that before. Switzerland miss penalty then score the rebound off the post. However, no goal as neither the goalie nor any other player touched it and the same player can't touch it twice in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly off because we're level with Portugal other than GD but we're getting into even more complicated territory with that. It's not the same as Ireland had a better group record than us.
