If Scotland had won tonight and qualified and we were seeded then we would have had a chance of playing themQuote:

I'm not sure that's true, that was what i orIginally thought too but recently I read that it is the top 4 of that second placed mini league that's been banded aroundQuote:

The teams then play on a home-and-away basis, with the order of the legs decided by the draw. The first meetings take place between 9 and 11 November, with the second legs played over the following three days. The winner of each tie enters the draw for the World Cup on 1 December.
So confusing ...
At the moment 3 we can definitely face are
Northern Ireland
Denmark
Sweden
Then depending on who else qualifies we can also draw one of
Slovakia / Ukraine / Greece
We have to win tomorrow first.
Hence the word “IF” in the thread titleQuote:

On qualification for the play-offs, it looks as if a draw will not be enough. If Crotia manage to get 3 points away at Ukraine we are ****ed with a draw......if this is anything to go by.>>
