Agreed, very good side but they are not France, Spain or Belgium so we got off lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically have to take 6 points off them to have any chance of 2nd, Faroes aswell. Hopefully will play them away in normal season, can see loads of call offs if that's a June 2021 game.

davy-hay Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 yes. don't think we can compare 15 years go with today. it's all up for grabs and unpredictable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
er yir macaroon Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Were Austria in our group the last time we qualified? I think so or maybe it was the Euros. I think every home game we’d be favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know we drew 0-0 in Bertis last match but cannot remember the Hampden game, presumably when Smith took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably never have a better chance. No Italy or Germany. The others will take points off Denmark I think. Israel will be our most difficult task I feel.

Probably about as good as it could be though. yeah somehow they actually came out on top of the head to head from our 5 recent games. Saw that they beat Austria 4-2 last year and lost 3-1 away. The whole group will struggle away to them. Home wins, away draws against the top 3 teams and away wins against the bottom two and we'll be at the World Cup. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich NATA Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I suspect Denmark and Austria are better than some are making out. Israel could go either way; as we know. Group H looks the easiest to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually won that group didn't they so must've got better results v Sweden. Had some good players around that time with likes of Herzog and Toni Polster. Same nowadays with Alaba and Arnautovic but you'd settle for them from pot 2 certainly compared to a couple of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
