Texas Pete Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 1 hour ago, Texas Pete said: We now have 5 bites at the cherry to qualify: 1) We avoid defeat in Spain 2) Norway fail to be beat Spain 3) We win in Georgia 4) Norway fail to beat Cyprus 5) We avoid defeat to Norway Surely at least one of these things will happen? Ok so number 4 is very unlikely and number 1 will be difficult but the other 3 are very realistic. You could even argue they are probable. There is also another option. If we draw with Georgia and lose 1-0 to Norway (assuming Norway have beaten Cyprus and Spain) we would qualify but that Norway game would be horrendous.

If we all ended up on 16 points (with us having drawn with Spain) we would go through along with Norway. If we draw with Spain only one team can finish above us. Good stuff, I'm getting more confident by the minute here. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 1 minute ago, todd said: Assuming Norway don't overturn the overall goal difference, no? They are currently 12 goals behind us. If they only beat us 1-0 that means they would have to get a 10 goal turnaround in the space of two games. One of them is against Spain. We could lose 8-0 to Spain, I suppose. 😉 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Pete Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just now, todd said: Assuming Norway don't overturn the overall goal difference, no? Yes good point but we would likely need to lose by 6 or 7 goals in Spain for that to happen and Norway would need healthy wins against Cyprus and Spain. Possible but unlikely. Any 1 goal defeat against Norway should really be enough if we draw with Georgia but yeah it would not be guaranteed at this stage although we would know for sure before our final game.

We really should be confident in going to Spain and giving them a game but they very rarely drop points at home so we should the be looking to go to Georgia and win and put all this nonsense to bed.
