Orraloon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Likewise Anya's goal in Dortmund could end up being vital. But yeah it would be weird beating Germany on head to head thanks to Poland! Aye, imagine beating Germany on a HTH. That would be phenomenal. That would really put the shits up the English for our WC campaign. Still need to beat Georgia though.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Despite neither side having one so far and Scotland scoring in Germany Poland and Ireland?Just my take on itAt some point our stock of deflected goals will run out The game at ibrox could easily have been 0-0 As much as folk say it should have been 3 or 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I'll add that in those circumstances I believe we'd be guaranteed a top 2 finish, and (unless we were to beat Poland by 3 or more) Germany would finish 3rd! Yes, we'd all be level on point in the HTH record as well. It would go down to GD. We'd be top two. Poland could finish 3rd, if we beat them by five or more goals, but that'll never happen...

Clyde1998 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Not so, as long as we beat Poland at Hampden we could draw one of the other games. We'd then potentially pip the Poles on 21 points due to head to head... Edit. Just realised if our draw was v Germany all 3 of us could end up on 21 points! Do the business in the games that we should do it in - same with Poland and Germany. Beat Poland, draw with Germany - and a Poland-Germany draw would put us and Poland through. However, it's likely that Germany would be the best third placed team in that situation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I think there is enough vagueness, in how the rules are worded, to allow them some wriggle room if it looks like Germany are heading to the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Poland could finish 3rd, if we beat them by five or more goals, but that'll never happen...Not quite, going by the criteria:-Germany 1-1 Poland Scotland 2-2 Germany Scotland 3-0 Poland Would put Germany and Poland on a -1 GD and equal on goals scored, but the Germans would finish above Poland due to their extra away goal at Hampden. I appreciate this scenario is highly unlikely! Edited September 1, 2015 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
