Head To Head Or Goal Difference?

[rosscarnie]

Can someone tell me if the group placings for these qualifiers are decided on a head to head basis or goal difference

Also does anyone have a bus running to the Germany game from Edinburgh?

Head to head results, even if more than 2 teams tie on points.

Given the amount of tie break criteria it's almost impossible for goal difference to count.

Can't help you with the bus though...

Which helps us as in the event of us being level on points with Germany or Poland we would almost certainly have better head to head results.

Contact either Edinburgh Tartan Army or Hebrides Bar Tartan Army as regards the bus.

So if we finsih level on points with Poland all we would need is a 0-0 or 1-1 at Hampden to qualify

Yes and the same would apply with Germany. A 1-0 home win would also see us finish above them on head to head.
