Self-raising Lazarus Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 A draw would ideal, can see us beating Georgia, but who would honestly want to go to the last game needing a result against norway? Worse than the Italy game in 2008 imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm dreading a Norway win here. I know winning the group is great, but let's just qualify!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with most people on here is the Georgia game has got history,they are all shitebags and want it bagged'n'tagged, Scotland are in a great position just accept it and enjoy the last 2 games. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives us a chance of being Pot 1 for the Euros, as opposed to Pot 2 or 3 if we finish second. I haven’t checked but someone posted the other day that if we win our last two games and finish first we’re likely to be Pot 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would guarantee us a minimum pot 2 position in the seeding for the tournament, very possibly even pot 1 depending on the overall ranking. More importantly, it would make us look cool. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. The teams that lost in Georgia would never have got themselves into the position where a win in Georgia guarantees qualification regardless of any results elsewhere. Plus, Georgia are pish. We'll win by at least two, probably more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t checked but someone posted the other day that if we win our last two games and finish first we’re likely to be Pot 1. This is correct. If we win the last two games and Spain drop points, then we are pot 1 if any of the following happens: England drop any points at home to Italy or Malta, or in North Macedonia. Hungary drop any points at home to Montenegro or in Lithuania or Bulgaria. Belgium drop any points at home to Sweden or Azerbaijan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutmeg Richard Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Not quite as tense tonight as it was on November 20 1991, when our hopes of reaching Euro 92 rested on Bulgaria v Romania. Who will step up and be our Nasko Sirakov hero figure this time? Calm your nerves with this reminder from Nutmeg 1. All will be fine... https://bit.ly/3ZYitRc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 All this Georgia chat ffs. Yes, if we have to go there and win I would be confident in this group of players being able to do the job, but why on earth would anyone want to be in that position rather than us being over the line tonight? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualify tonight, and two very winnable games to finish the campaign on a high. Imagine winning 7/8 games, and having the 8th away in Spain taken away by a whisker of an offside VAR intervention. If Spain win tonight, we could easily finish the group 11 points clear of Norway. It feels on a tightrope right now, but this could be even clearer than how the WCQ group was with Israel in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams that lost in Georgia would never have got themselves into the position where a win in Georgia guarantees qualification regardless of any results elsewhere. The team that lost in Georgia the first time was in a magnificent position, given our company in the group. By then we'd done the double over France and had just blown away a strong Ukraine side four days earlier. Had we won in Georgia, we wouldn't quite have got over the line, but it would have taken us extremely close. There was no reason then to expect such a derailing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, our WCQ group maybe ended similarly with us in pole position to get 2nd, but still a little nervous in October although by winning our last two games against Denmark and Moldova left us with a comfortable 7 point advantage to both Austria and Israel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
