Imagine how James McClean would feel then...

Switzerland have qualified have effectively qualified as second Delorean.

So they have.

However, it being a funny old game and all is it possible that should both teams make it to/have to settle for the playoffs that a north v south showdown could possibly be on or would they be kept apart?

Why would we be kept apart?

Seeding would be the likely reason rather than anything political.

Or did I wake up this morning in 1993?

Despite them being a point behind, Didi Hamann, Paul Lambert and Neil McCann on Sky Sports 1 for the Scotland-Germany game all reckon Scotland are in a preferable position to ourselves right at this moment with Gibraltar still to play and Poland at home, whereas we have Poland away.

Nope. I'll take our position tbh.

Germany 1-0 up in Scotland. Deflected shot from Thomas Müller.

Looked like a deflection off Klose

Scotland score

Balls. Scotland equalise. Maloney free-kick causes Neuer trouble and it bounces back into the net off Hummels standing in front of the keeper.

Germany back in front. 2-1.

Back to 2-2

we could only dream of doing what Scotland are doing and scoring 2 against Germany for that alone they deserve to qualify ahead of us.

They've scored from an own goal and a goal that should have been called off-side. Fair play to them but our performance in Germany was fantastic.

3-2 Germany

Scotland are done now. No way they come back three times in the same match against the Germans.

Scotland look to be just about keeping further German goals out.
