Projected UEFA World Cup playoffs (13 November)
Home:
Serbia
Sweden
Croatia
Switzerland
Poland
Wales
Away:
Scotland
Turkey
North Macedonia
Finland
Austria
Czech Republic
If we finish 3rd we’d drop from the home group & be replaced by Scotland
Should be able to see off most of that 2nd group at home

Re: Play off place secured
Portugal v Serbia tonight looks tasty! Portugal not great the other night against Ireland

Re: Play off place secured
I wouldn’t fancy Scotland away. Don’t think the Jocks are any great shakes, but that is a massive banana skin in my opinion.
But that said, if we did get them, a dodgy penalty decision in our favour, would be sweet!

Re: Play off place secured
It’s going to be all about what side we can put out in March. Injuries have been kind in this latest batch of games. We need that again in March.

Re: Play off place secured
A Scotland win is going to relegate Wales to the unseeded pot, we need Denmark to wake up here.

Hungary beating Poland could put us back in the seeds.

Re: Play off place secured
Now we definitely need a win. Hope Belgium are as toothless as Denmark have been

Been shocked how poor Denmark have been, although Scotland have certainly impressed.
We need Begium's players to be 'on the beach' as well tomorrow.

Is home advantage that big a deal for us?

Well it's home advantage + an easier tie one of Poland/North Macedonia/Finland/Turkey/Austria/Czechia rather than Italy/Portugal/Scotland/Sweden/Russia away

Equally Italy home or North Macedonia away. I'd rather North Macedonia if it meant playing away.
How many times have we bollocksed things up at home in a big game? We're not a side that is great at breaking good teams down at home. If anything, I'd feel slightly more comfortable playing away where we could play more on the break.
I don't think home advantage for us is all that important.

No, winner plays another winner in a one off game to qualify.

Four teams. Two semi finals which are just one leg. The winners play in the final to qualify for the WC finals. So 12 teams but only 3 qualifiers. Unhelpful to have Italy and Portugal involved.

You’re the latest of a long line who doesn’t get this. The home team also avoids the most difficult teams.
