Win them both and they'll have 19 points. Over on "pork gyros and mythos" they'll be having the same discussions we were having on here before that result from Sarajevo. They need to win and either Croatia/Ukraine draw or Wales/Ireland draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

same_ol_g35 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Now it's in our hands I'm suddenly a hell of a lot more nervous than I was earlier. Only one solution, drink to increase my optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite performances earlier in the campaign (specifically Lithuania at home) will have cost us. It would be our own fault should we miss out Aye I know. I meant it in the context of how it's usually reported - clear dives and dodgy penalties etc blamed for our failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Will a draw tomorrow definitely mean we are out. Even if we finish 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 If we do fail tomorrow then we can at least take heart in the fact that we got ourselves into the position to do it. Of course it's a failure, twice over in fact given we've already been dead and buried once this campaign. Still, to go from 4 points in 4 games, having been roundly scudded by both Slovakia and England, It's a credit to them that they've stayed unbeaten since. One more game, and we could have exceeded expectations.Anyone else want a Belgian bun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are two points ahead of Slovakia with a lower GD. If we draw we need Slovakia to drop points to even come second. Bosnia cannot catch us no matter what. Greece can I believe if they win out and we don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'd probably agree with the 45/55, although I think Slovenia's situation slightly pushes it more in our favour. I'd put it at around 50/50, purely gut feeling. No matter what our chances are, put simply, if the players can't get themselves up for this chance, which for me is a better one than we've had in a long time, given everything that's happened up to now, then we don't deserve whatever chance we have.
