Anyone know the best combination of results required in order to send the Jocks home ? Just asking for a friend.

they need 4 of the below to happen

Group I: Senegal and Iraq to draw or Iraq to beat Senegal by no more than two goals.

Group H: Uruguay to lose to Spain.

Group G: Iran to lose to Egypt

Group L: Croatia to lose to Ghana by at least three goals.

Group K: DR Congo v Uzbekistan to be a draw or Uzbekistan to win by no more than three goals.

Group J: Austria and Algeria are on three points and a draw would send both through. Scotland need Algeria to lose by two or more goals, or Austria to be beaten by at least four goals.

I updated above to match BBC site, but then noticed they haven't quite got it right either - doesn't include England for example, who could give Panama a stronger 3rd place finish than Scotland. (So Croatia could lose by 3 goals, but Scotland could still go out if Panama beat England)

I think it'll be over before then anyway.

Germany need to lose then Scotland go last place 8th. Then think its any from 4 teams below to get 3 points or 4 points the thier out.

Boro are still hoping for a call to tell them they've qualified for the group of 32. Gibbo is on the case.

Just saw the replay of the high foot in the lead up to the German goal. 

Never mind VAR being asleep, how the holy fuck did the ref not see it?

Even Tonda saw it, albeit via mobile stream from someone in crowd

I did see the referee and assistants, thinking straight away of a SWF regular poster fuming…..

If Scotland get through after scoring one scrappy goal in the group stage and conceding 4 then it shows that this World Cup expansion is crazy. 

Sorry ITV just talking about them getting through and I fancied a rant.

Germany more likely to lose tonight than Scotland qualify

£130m for Anderson to City! 

Is this the City accused of massive amounts of cheating? It's almost as if there's different rules for some teams.

Ecuador 🇪🇨 throughly deserved that, been much the better side. Surprised they hadn’t scored and only a point from their first two games based on this display.

Germany very ordinary and defence is not world cup standard and it shows in matches. Ecuador much better.

I want Cape Verde to make it. Been miles better than Scotland.

Brilliant, just need Germany to let another goal or just do Russ ball.

Classic case of only seeing him for thirty minutes at the world cup, but...

...that Kevin Rodriguez CDAJFU. Just the profile striker we've been talking about.

1 in 6 in the Belgian pro league is hardly pulling up trees, but right age to be coached into a dangerous target man for a team like Saints in the Championship.

Scots undone not just by their Russball last night but negativity in the first game v Haiti.

They’ve got a very decent midfield (defence, keeper and attack shite) but seemed reluctant to feed the ball into it at the first opportunity.

Better get a move on because your postcards are about to land on doormats all over Scotland.

Not quite, other teams can still drop below Scotland on GD.

Paraguay, Algeria if they lose by 2. Croatia if they lose by 3. Sweden if they lose by 4. (And the other result in the group goes Scotland's way.)

they need 4 of the 6 below scenarios to happen to stay in.

 

Group d - they need Australia to beat Paraguay and USA to beat or draw with Turkiye

Group f - they need Japan to beat Sweden by 4 goals, and Netherlands to avoid a 5 goal defeat to Tunisia.

Group I - they need Iraq narrow win, or to draw with senegal

Group j - they need Austria to beat Algeria by two goals, Argentina to beat Jordan.

Group k - they need a draw between Congo and Uzbekistan, or a Uzbekistan win by less than four goals.

Group L - they need a Ghana win against Croatia by at least 3 goals and for Panama not to win against England.

Being a Scotland supporter I'm still clutching at all these straws. The first WCs I watched were 1974 & 1978 when England didn't qualify (I think that's right). My Dad was from Scotland so they became my team. He could have warned how fucking miserable it was going to be 😂

If Scotland are still hanging on by Saturday night, (and if Croatia get any result against Ghana), then England could always throw the Panama game, lose by 3, and finish third in the third place table. Thus indirectly knocking Scotland out.

England play Ecuador if we top the group. 

Unlikely as they are going to finish high up in the table of 3rd place teams.
