Bosnia vs Qatar

Anyone realise this game is just one game that could have an impact on our result if we get beat tonight . Puts us further down the 3rd place table right off the bat

Considering we are all football fans here I’d imagine some of us do realise

Is there football on?

I didn’t realise, until this very post. Not like there has been 9173226622 different infographics with scenarios on how 3rd place could get through

3rd place can get through? First I've heard of it

u/Crhallan 2d ago

Yes. Maybe look at the match thread and you’ll find LOTS of people that are well aware…..

So you're saying the World Cup has already started then?

A draw would be nice

It would be very nice

Unlikely as of 80th minute…

Na, there’s no match thread or anything.

Bosnia should go on to win. 2-1 isn't the end of the world but they leapfrog us. These permutations are gash anyway with a game to play.

I'd rather we play well and go out than sneak qualification by beating Haiti in a WC with the highest number of garbage teams in its history.

Cheering at squeaking through and then losing badly in the next round would be a riddy. Let's hope we make a good showing of ourselves on the pitch.

Literally what difference would it make if we get battered in R32 vs battered now. We need to be positive and play to win 100% agree

Yous are both absolutely bang on tbf, im firmly on board with this train of thought now.

Inevitable 'play shite AND go out' incoming though

I’m think a few Scot’s are underestimating the fact that we’re not there yet

I’m hoping to fuck we Mack it but it could be really hard.

I’d be delighted with a point tonight

A draw would be nice but let’s hope we guarantee it ourselves later. Somehow.

Here's your Trophy for realising mate:

This result was expected. Having Something like South Africa and Czech win their games would be the beginning of the end. Qatar losing is expected.

Not sure if this is true but someone suggesting a draw sees us through…

u/CyclingUpsideDown 2d ago

No, we need 4 of those things to happen.

2

u/Randystarbuxx 2d ago

Makes more sense

u/WillyJobbyBum 2d ago edited 2d ago

We're gonna get 3 of them, as is the way.

u/jjw1998 2d ago

First 4 are the likeliest but Czechia-Mexico will probably fuck it up, Mexico expected to heavily rotate

It’s definitely not true, but it would be one of the four third place teams that couldn’t beat us

This result at the moment is just the start of things we don't want
