Could we finally top a WCQ group?

The only way the group will come down to goal difference is if we get the same result home and away against the team level on points. If we draw with Switzerland 0-0 and end up level we qualify because of our away goal.

Teams level on points in each first round group will be separated according to the following criteria:
a) Points obtained in matches between the teams in question.
b) Goal difference in matches between the teams in question.
c) Goals scored in matches between the teams in question.
d) Goal difference in all group matches.
e) Goals scored in all group matches.
f) Drawing of lots.

In some ways I prefered the old method, straight goal difference etc..
At least you could actually remember the rule with with out having
to see it actuallly written down, ad it is very rarely you actually do
see it written down. You must be pretty good with google to find
it, I doubt it is even on the official site!!

However I accepted the new method is probably fairer and it
probablly suits us because we don't usually really hammer the
minnow sides, ie by 5, 6 and 7 goals.

So I will stick with it, even if I have forgotten what it ws next week.

You never know!

True but even if we win all the other matches we might
still need a win in the remaining match for automatic qualification.

So its not really in our hands anyway.

I imagine there will be a few shock results before then anyway.

Long way to go!!
