[J R Hartley]

Yeah we know. It’s on the match thread.

There's an Austria v Serbia match thread?

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

He's a pretty good player, I'd have him back.

[Rjk]

He's a pretty good player, I'd have him back.

I think he's a bit beyond us now!

[MacAdder]

Took his goal really well and but for an excellent save could have had another

Just equalised for Austria against Serbia.

Let’s hope he gets the winner too

Well he got an assist for the 2nd... he's having a blinder

I think Wales have only had one bad result so far, the draw at home to Georgia. Wales would be a point clear at the top if not for that, but wouldn't it be something if Serbia choked on Monday, and Wales went through as the top dogs?

Georgia have drawn in both Cardiff and Vienna and have conceded almost half of the number of goals away from home that they've let in at home (only 5 on their travels in 4 games). No team has done the 'double' over Georgia in this group. Add to the equation Serbian nerves - a Serbian win is far from guaranteed.

I actually think I'd now prefer to be in Wales' shoes. They know they have to win to stand a chance of being in the playoffs, but they now know a win could bring automatic qualification. I think the nerves will all be in Serbia at kick-off time, but the night could be one of the most dramatic in qualification history, with anyone of three able to qualify automatically.

It could happen. 3-2!!!! Yessss

Cracking result. Come on Georgia!!!

[Baloo]

Getting interesting innit.

Edit - oh right, there's a thread already.

[The Bob Banker Spanker]

Georgia more than capable of holding Serbia as well I'd say.

[NYCBlue]

Very. A draw with Georgia is not out of the question.

[CCFC_Urawa_Reds]

Daring to dream.

But stuff like Wales winning and others tripping up for Wales to qualify for a World Cup doesn't happen! Does it !?
Save your voices/energy folk! Monday is 'sporting earthquake' material - and we are involved

[TH63]

They’ll probably beat Georgia but mathematically we could still win the group??

Yes, Wales can win the group.

Imagine this scenario

Ireland take the lead in Wales, go second, Wales 3rd.

Ten minutes left, Serbia top, Ireland 2nd, Wales going out in third. Then, Georgia take the lead in Serbia, Ireland now top, Serbia 2nd on goals scored, and Wales still 3rd.

Wales get an equaliser, now Serbia are back top, Wales second and Ireland 3rd. Last minute, Wales grab a winner, Wales first, Serbia second Ireland third.

[Michael Morris]

game on

That wouldn't be good for the heart.
How about, Wales take the lead in the first 10 minutes and make it comfortable by adding a 2nd before half time then the rest of the game fizzles out.
Georgia and Serbia play out a drab 0-0.
Much better.

Yeah, I may even survive that scenario

Yes, or Wales score 4 in the first 10 minutes, Georgia do the same. Can relax then.

No chance! That cannot be true for anyone who lived through Peterborough away. I need a few more goals in the bank than that before I can ever again relax in a game.

Lol! I thought exactly the same thing as I typed it!
