Thaw Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Not if Portugal beat Andorra tonight and Switzerland next week Switzerland need another 8 goals second half to change that. You're right.

karipidis Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I know we're all living in the here and now but it's funny how folk are talking about tomorrow as the biggest game for, in your case, 14 years. If we'd held on against Poland two years ago, we'd have been playing Gibraltar needing a win to make a playoff. Craig Levein's team I'm sure would have made a playoff but for a last minute Czech dive. George Burley faced Holland needling a win to make a playoff and Miller and Brown missed sitters (let's not talk Iwelumo!) We've had plenty massive games but admittedly we've rarely entered the final match on such a high. Come on, Scotland, let's get it done this time! Because Ireland beat Germany that night, a win v Poland did not guarantee us anything, it just meant we would have needed Ireland to win away in Poland. So for me, this is the biggest game since Italy at home in 2007. It's simple, win and we are in the playoffs. All the games mentioned above needed other results to go our way and for once it is purely in our hands. Really hope we do it but it is Scotland....

Thaw Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 France looked a bit nervy tonight but secured qualification. Compared to the Spanish Euro winners who at times seemed to play almost without a striker, their squad is absolutely brimming with exciting attacking talent and I'd like to see them fulfill their potential in the finals.

Guest Paul Allen Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 As it stands. I'd dread Portugal and Italy. I'd be nervous about Sweden, Denmark, Wales and Croatia. I'd settle for Greece or Northern Ireland. Would imagine every other country would be hoping to get us. Obviously still a massive IF in terms of us getting into the play-offs.

Still haven't got over Italy's second goal that night. Panucci shoulder barged Hutton off the ball on our bye line and Italy got the free kick. Devastating.

Jambo in Yorkshire Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I reckon today's results confirm Slovenia cannot make the play-offs. They could only get 11 pts (ignoring bottom team) and the 2nd team in every other group must get 12 or more. Hopefully they have worked this out.

Slovakia split from Czechoslovakia and Slovenia split from Yugoslavia. They don't border one another and other than name they aren't all that similar.
