We can't wait win play offs mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I don't get the issue with Faddys comments. He is saying they want to qualify without needing a play off, that he also says they want to secure in the next two games, that their goals are higher than a mere play off. Also they are planning ahead by fielding some youngsters and are being prepared to take some risks. A great mindset if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Well it comes down to this - beat Israel at Hampden on Tuesday and we win our group and secure a playoff for Euro 2020. We would also probably be at home in the first playoff tie. I think most of us would have taken that when the draw was made. Hopefully tonight’s result will sway anyone that was debating going on Tuesday and we get a decent crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbrew Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Could we get Israel in our Euro 20 group? Presuming not as could be situation where defeat helps qualifying chances. If we don`t win on Tuesday and are struggling in Euro20 group a defeat to Israel could help them qualify direct and so give us playoff place. Or we beat israel on Tuesday and Israel lose to us for Euro20 so we qualify direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there are any restrictions on who we could get in the qualifiers other than we can only get one other host country in our group. If Israel beat us on Tuesday and then qualify outright next year we wouldn’t be guaranteed their play off spot anyway. It would go to the highest ranked team (based on final Nations League positions) who didn’t qualify and who didn’t win their NL group. That might well be us but it might not. I would be astounded if Israel got anywhere near second place in their group next year in any case. There is also a good chance that we’ll both be in pot 3 which would prevent us from being drawn together anyway.

Am I right in thinking a 3:2, 4:3 or that kind of win for us would put Israel through on away goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth could that be the case? Have you seen the group? We are currently on 6 points as are Israel. If we beat Israel we will have 9 points and they will have 6. The score could be 25-24 to us and we would still win the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 4 minutes ago, wanderer said: Could be wrong, but think that is only case if we draw.... If win the group through beating Israel then we would most likely be promoted to group B play off’s (as most the teams from leagues A and B will qualify through the Euro qualifiers next year) and get a harder group and most likely lose home advantage. draw and we would stay where we are in Pot C play off’s, but suddenly find ourselves one of the higher ranked teams, so get home advantage. Regarding Euro draw, pots starting to take shape now, http://m.footballseeding.com/international-tournaments/euro-2020/ Texas Pete will let you know I suspect it's the other way round as we'd be punished for winning the group otherwise.
