    Swiss went 2 up after 15mins but the russians came back. We could go top with a win Wednesday! ..i think

    yeah, we can go a point clear with a win over georgia.

    then we go to switzerland and have the russians at home to round out the group. a win in either of these games will see us in second and the playoffs, two wins and we'll top the group (assuming we see off the georgians).

    Other way around - Switzerland in Basel is the last match. Can't see us winning there, so we must beat Georgia and Russia.

    to be honest i'd take the playoffs (although we'll probably get turkey/england) given the start we had but i think we are well capable of winning all three games. Not because we're brilliant but because (let's be fair) we have a soft group. i'm definitely not afraid of either of the 'big two' we have left to play.

    Not saying we should be scared of playing there - simple fact is that Switzerland are a good team with a very good home record and an intimidating stadium and crowd, and that a draw would be a very good result there.

    2 home wins and a draw in Switzerland will probably mean we win the group (assuming Russia beat Switzerland in Moscow).

    This is not by any means impossible.
