Too early for mathematics - ignore my ravings - Late back from Bulgaria last night and still not fully recovered

Reassuring read there.

Croatia (5pts) reamaining games:
H Belarus 3pts
A Belarus 1pt
A England 0pts
A Kazakhstan 3pts

5+7=12

Scotland (7pts) remaining games:
A Norway 1pt
H Macedonia 3pts
H Netherlands 0pts

7+4=11

Northern Ireland (7pts) remaining games:
A Czech Republic 0pts
A Poland 1pt
H Slovakia 3pts

7+4=11

So 13 points should do us.

That's wins against Cyprus and Montenegro.

Or, if we only get 4 or 5 points from our last three games then we should hope that Georgia overtake Montenegro which will give us an extra two points in the table and give us 13/14.

All in all, I'm hopeful.

Are there teams below those who could take over second, but with a better record?

**Dodge** · 08/06/2009, 12:23 PM

Poland could catch and pass the North. They're 3 points behind with a game in hand. Their last 4 are NI (h), Slovenia (a), Czech (a), Slovakia (h)

Chance the Czechs could catch NI too, but they're 5 points back with game in hand

In practice they're two points behind- the game in hand is against SMR. They'll win it at least 5-0.

Ukraine have a great shot at 2nd. In fact I fancy them to come 2nd in that group.

Exactly so forget about Croatia - if Ukraine win on wednesday night they go to 11pts and still have to play andorra twice!!!!

which will count for nothing as far as this discussion is concerned, right??

**pineapple stu** · 09/06/2009, 9:21 AM

It'll just cement their position as number two is all. Won't affect the number two table, but it means that looking at Croatia's rubbish total is probably irrelevant (hence my question earlier).

Here is some analysis and predictions up to and including tonight's results

My runners up table

Russia 8 6 1 1 9 3 19
France 8 5 2 1 7 6 17
Greece 8 5 1 2 12 4 16
Ukraine 8 4 3 1 10 4 15
Bosnia-Herzegovina 8 4 1 3 18 7 13
Republic of Ireland 8 3 4 1 7 4 13
Czech Republic 8 3 3 2 6 4 12
Norway 8 3 3 2 2 3 12
Sweden 8 2 5 1 2 1 11

My analysis and assumptions

13 points is the magic number. Bosnia may be OK if they only get 12 as they have a huge goal difference.

Forget Russia, France, Croatia/Ukraine and Greece. These groups are guaranteed a best runner up. Bosnia have a huge goal difference which will help them. They also have Spain home last match which is a dead game for Spain. 2 away wins in Estonia and Armenia will most likely do it unless Turkey can win in Sarajevo and Brussels.

I�m predicting 2 draws for Sweden/Portugal � Denmark A and Hungary A. Good chance the runner up here will be on 12 points or less. Both have already lost at home to Denmark but the Danes are virtually through now. Hungary have a chance here but I can�t see them beating Sweden and Portugal. If Sweden or Portugal win in Budapest (or Copenhagen) then the runner up goes to 13 which will probably be enough.

Czech Republic also requires a few calls such as a home win v Poland. Slovakia probably have enough to win the group now. The draw at home v Czech is needed but I�m allowing defeats at Northern Ireland and Poland. Northern Ireland could sneak in with a result in Prague or Poland but I fancy the big guns to get their act together in the Autumn.

Norway/Scotland is the also a likely worst runner up at this stage. I�m predicting Norway beating Scotland at home. I�m also giving them a win in Iceland. Scotland would need to win in Oslo or v Holland home to make 13 or draw both to make 12. The fact that this group finishs in September will help give other sides a target. A draw

A Georgia win in Montenegro would also boost Republic of Ireland as it would give us an extra 2 points. I think this is unlikely but in a dead match it could happen. We may need a goal difference swing too.

It is still way too early to tell in reality.

based on the following results and predictions

Note positions in group table are current ones. you can sort on final points predictions.

Games of interest tonight

Group 6 Belarus v Croatia
Group 9 Norway v Scotland

If Norway win tonight group 9 will finish as worst runners up imo

Scotland could still definitely win their last 2 home games so 13 points might be enough for them.

We're in very similar situations with Scotland probably having easier fixtures than us.

As for Croatia, I think Ukraine will get 2nd anyway.

They could beat Holland but I doubt it.

Still a Norway win or draw is the best case for us tonight.

Scotland have done little in this group to impress.

Scotland won't beat Holland. They are in the same state if not worse than we were under Stan. As for tonight, I would be surprised if they won. Expecting a draw, but if Norway win, I believe we'll be in the play-offs.(at least)
