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 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.

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.

Germans currently being given a chasing here.

Germany need Stephens and Harwood-Bellis to steady the defence 

[Sheaf Saint]

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. 

[saintant]

Ref's definitely German - thats's a dive by Havertz.

[obelisk]

This ref is a joke.

[die Mannyschaft]

Why is Robbie Savage managing an International team.

Germany more likely to lose tonight than Scotland qualify

Ridiculous fee for him.

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

[die Mannyschaft]

I would like to see Germany v France,  Spain,  Argentina,  England. Brazil  or Mexico in QF let alone SF. Germany look like  Canada 

[trousers]

Ecuadooooor

[saintant]

Well deserved.

[die Mannyschaft]

Goal too easy, at least Scotland have one foot in grave. Lets hope Germany let another one in.

[31cc]

Go Ecuador! Yellows!

[die Mannyschaft]

Germany happy to do England fans a favour.

[Gloucester Saint]

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.

So if it stays as it is now, Belgium need only a draw v NZ to knock Scotland out 😅

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.

[Polaroid Saint]

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.

[die Mannyschaft]

Free kick k, this could be the 3rd goal, lump it in box.

[trousers]

Full time 

[die Mannyschaft]

Ha ha ha, Scotland get ready to go home and Boro cant help you.

[saintant]

Brilliant performance and you can see what it means to coach, players and fans alike.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Great play and game management by Ecuador - pleased they did that.

[trousers]

 

[John Boy Saint]

Ecuador deserved that - they worked their socks off 

[SNSUN]

Ecuador deserved that. Germany shite. One more result Scotland...

[saintant]

Nilson Angulo the Sunderland winger was brilliant. There will be a few clubs looking at him.

[Gloucester Saint]

Never thought Karel Poborsky would turn into such a decent manager 😉 

[SNSUN]

England play Ecuador if we top the group.

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

Scrap that, will need Iran to draw/win as well v Egypt.

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.)
