QuoteA straightforward enough win for Wales in Tbilisi. They made Georgia look bang average, especially in the second half. And without Bale.
We made Georgia look like world-beaters.
With the Taffs winning it puts extra pressure as we are now four points behind. Don't expect a goal rush tonight. If we do go out I hope the Taff's get Portugal and get hammered

Wes starting. I hope that doesn’t mean he won’t start V Wales
Serbia take the lead in Austria. Ideally, we'd want Serbia to lose as there's still a mathematical chance we can finish top.
Wales were cráp in this game. Sublime skill for their goal but otherwise cráp.Originally Posted by DannyInvincible

Austria and Serbia are 1-1 at half-time.
Results in group I going to plan so far.
Another from Austria would be great
Croatia and Ukraine have the taken the lead in their games in group I. That's bad news for us, as the group I runner-up will almost certainly be beyond our reach if things stay as they are.
Austria take the lead against Serbia. We'd finish top now if we beat Wales and Serbia lose to Georgia. If Georgia and Serbia were to draw and we beat Wales, we'd need to improve our goal difference by +5 to finish ahead of Serbia as we'd be even on points with them then.
Is it goal difference Danny yeah?,not head to head?
Aye, goal difference is the next differential after points. Then it's goals scored. Tie-breaking criteria here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_F...on#Tiebreakers
Winner austria!!!
Finland have equalised against Croatia. Brilliant.
That means a draw between Ukraine and Croatia will ensure we finish ahead of the group I runner-up if we beat Wales.
Why they say just there on rte that we will only finish second if we beat wales. What if Serbia lose and we beat Wales. We finish top of the group
5-0 win will put us top if Serbia draw....
..stranger things have happened.
https://kesslereffect.bandcamp.com/album/kepler - New music. It's not that bad.
What if Serbia lose...at home...to Georgia. I guess it could happen but nobody's counting on it as a realistic option. It's so frustrating to know that even if we had drawn against Serbia at home, we'd be playing for an automatic spot on Sunday
A draw between Ukraine and Croatia is the least likely result.
I'd say if Ireland beat Wales they will go through to the play offs, probably Group H is the most susceptible to the 2nd placed team, finishing in last place ignominy.
Ok, so I think this is what needs to happen in five other groups for us to get ahead of their second-placed team, if we manage to win in Wales: (Group A is still in play but with two rounds of games left and two potential last-placed teams, it's still a complicated picture)
Group C – Northern Ireland lose against Norway, 4-goal swing against them
Group E- i)Denmark lose, Montenegro fail to win, 6-goal swing against Denmark
Group E-ii) Denmark lose, Montenegro win, 2-goal swing against Montenegro
Group F – Scotland fail to win against Slovenia
Group I – Croatia and Ukraine draw
Group H – Bosnia fail to win both games and a)Greece fails to beat Cyprus, b) they do beat Cyprus with a 3-goal swing (possibly 2-goal) or c) they somehow fail to beat Gibraltar and Bosnia pick up enough points to stay ahead of them
