weekevie04 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Latvia have really improved under their new boss. They were very decent against Turkey last month too, lost 2-1 to a last min penalty. Latvia were absolutely awful for a while recently, probably the worst of the Baltic nations and that's saying something when you had Estonia and Lithuania. Seems all three are picking up a wee bit of late, which is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw that result coming but didn’t realise Haaland out injured which didn’t help Norway’s cause ! Hoping Holland draw away to Montenegro, means they have to beat Norway on Tuesday (good for Scotland) And as mentioned, Wales to drop points tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz7 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I've just read this on bbc sport regards wales game tonight so here's hoping rules get changed. See below.......... . The players that are not booked against Belarus but are booked against Belgium will be banned for the play-off semi-final in March, played over one leg - but it is believed Uefa's member associations are lobbying for that rule to be changed.

TartanSpice Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) Wales dropping points tonight would be nice, but it doesn't really help us getting a seeded spot if we lose to Denmark. If the Czechs beat Estonia they go ahead of us on GS* unless we lose while scoring more than they do - such as Czechs only winning 1-0 and we lose 2-3 and pip them on Goals Scored. And the Norway result isn't particularly big for us in the grand scheme of things as Turkey are looking good for finishing on 15pts which means we'll need to get a point off Denmark anyway to stand a chance. The only way it's in our own hands is to beat Denmark, anything else results in us waiting until Tuesday to see whether other results overcome us either on points or GD. Lose to Denmark are we're pretty much certain to be unseeded, and even a draw has Turkey in a position of knowing that sticking 4 past Montenegro gets them ahead of us.

bernie Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 9 hours ago, Caledonian Craig said: Yes that is correct. In all honesty now I'd say realistically there are six teams left squabbling over three seeded spots. They are us, Poland, Sweden, Croatia, Norway and the Czechs. Norway drawing is a big help.

The thing is, they will know what score line they need for play off seeding, as they play on the Tuesday….. Yeh, if they win they get up to 14pts +4, and if we lose we go to 14pts +4, but they're ahead on GS - apart from us scoring more goals than the Czechs do in the final game and they only win by 1. The only way to take the Czechs out of the picture is for us to pick up more points, as realistically they're fairly certain to jump ahead of us if we lose. Looking at the second place table: Russia beating Croatia by 2 and Malta finishing bottom of their group would be lovely.

Was looking at that permutation in Group.H and these games are tomorrow night ! Like you say, prey Russia win by 2 goals against Croatia and hope Malta have a heavier defeat than Cyprus do ( Too many permutations ) Let’s just go out and take care of things ourselves and skelp Denmark on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 In all honesty Wales result tonight is not really relevant as they are guaranteed a play-off spot already even if they don't finish second as they would get in via Nations League.

It bloody should be overturned. A farcical ruling. Many top notch players could be suspended for matches that are supposed to showcase the sport.

Nation league qualifiers will be unseeded, but Wales can still secure a seeding and a home tie in the play offs thru their qualifying group. Thats my take on it anyway, but maybe I’m wrong.

DAVIDB46 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Would not mind playing Turkey seed or unseed as we never play them or draw them , have we really not played them since 1960. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
