Stranded Dutch in danger of missing another WC.
2 up in Montenegro, concede 2 in 4 mins to draw.
If they lose to Norway, behind closed doors and Turkey beat Macedonia, they are out.

Yes it could happen and both are in a very similar position going into their final games. If you deduct the six points Scotland gained against the bottom team in their group they are on 14 points. So are Wales. They both have tough homes games to finish off. Both are on the edge of being in the top six seeds for home draws in the play offs. It’s very tight.

Got to happen, as I recall there’s a bit of “tension” between them after their WC games for 1978 and 1986 and Wales owe Scotland after those.

WestYorksRoyal Portugal miss out on automatic qualification in dramatic circumstances. Would find it pretty funny if they missed out, though having them in the play-off draw is bad news for Wales and Scotland

Potentially bad news. There will be three groups of four so a good chance we won’t be in the same play off group as them. If we draw tomorrow night and Scotland don’t beat Denmark then we will have a home draw in the semi final.

Not sure it is a bad time to play Portugal tbh, they look devoid of any real ideas or leadership right now. It is a similar situation to the one at United. If Ronaldo can get into the game and control it then they will win, keep him quiet and the over reliance on him really shows. Wales and Scotland have far better team ethics than Portugal and that could be enough to get them over the line.

Sanguine I've nothing against the Dutch, but it would be a travesty if Erling Haaland was to miss another major tournament, so I hope Norway can somehow find a result. That 0-0 draw with Latvia could be costly though.
In Group D, if Ukraine draw in Bosnia (or potentially even with a win, if Finland avoid defeat at home to France), they'll have failed to qualify despite remaining unbeaten the group. Currently one win and six draws.
Finally on the play-offs, a lot has got to happen for it to come to pass, but I'd love to see Holland and Italy fighting it out in one of the finals, with the loser facing the prospect of missing consecutive World Cups.

Groups! God, talk about getting every last penny they can out of things.

It’s one legged semi finals. The winners then play in a final. So only two games but obviously four teams involved.
