Summer was hangin-on here on the iceberg, actually really warm sunny weather up until today (it was high teens and sunny a couple of days ago), but now talk of snow next week. Wet but warm today, I almost want it to snow, the Puppy has never seen snow.Scotland leading 1-0 in the 56 min. Perhaps our software needs upgrading, but we are projecting Scotland to reach the QFs of the 2022 WC.
EUro qualifying for the WM is a bit more interesting than normal this time, doesnt rock like CONCACAF, but some interesting knockout type games-which really only mean the KO losers go into an actual KO scenario.
Rep. Moldau v Schottland
Moldova are bottom of the table in this group, so Scotland should win and qualify for the KO stage behind Denmark. Colin Hendry is starting?
Italien v Schweiz
OK this is a KO winner qualifies for the World Cup type game, except it isnt, the winner could still finish second, but lets pretend that it is a KO game. Recent history suggests a draw, which is better for Italy, the English officiating crew suggest some BS call will decide the game. They really are terrible at the refereeing thing, I bet you the WWEpl will have foreign refs in 10 years time. Probably have the refs do the post match beheadings as well, stupid,backwards fucking country.
Nordirland v Litauen
nothin to see here
D|nnemark v mini Denmark
mini Denmark is not in last place in the group, can you imagine if mini Denmark and Denmark united, they would win every WM.
|usterreich v Israel
Austria never fail to disappoint lately. I think Israel have a mathematical chance-but not a real chance of 2nd place
England v Albanien
England should win this match and the group, but they are also dumb enough to screw up.
Ungarn v San Marino
San Marino looking to break the negative goal difference record.
Andorra v Polen
Poland should win, but lets say they dont and Albania beat England, then it is all very complicated, for the final round.
Most of these games or on for free on UEFA TV, at least here on the iceberg.
TBH far more interesting games on tonight, like Mexico vs the walking dead and Kanada v Kosta Rica. Kanada then play Mexico on Wednesday.

Italy is probably the happier of the two sides with a draw (GD +11 vs GD +9), but I don't think we would like to get into a goal-difference shootout on the final day (SUI at home to Bulgaria, ITA with a tricky away match in Belfast)

That implies Scotland would be seeded, which I think is pretty unlikely,
as it is almost certain to require taking a point or three from Denmark.

If Switzerland beats Bulgaria by a margin of at least 3 goals more than the margin by which Italy beats Northern Ireland, they qualify.
If the difference is two goals, then it goes down to numbers of goals scored. If SUI-BUL 3-0 and NIR-ITA 0-1, the two teams would be exactly tied on both GD and goals scored.
When was the last time we had a similar Goal Difference showdown in qualifiers? Can't remember, but there must have been.

My hunch feeling for Euro 2024 first-time qualifier would be Luxembourg. They've been doing really well.
North Macedonia ?

Brain fog again, I had completely forgotten that.
Hmm, How about Kosovo, Albania, Armenia and Georgia ?

Of course, we also famously qualified out of the first round of the 1982 World Cup because we scored one more than Cameroon!When was the last time we had a similar Goal Difference showdown in qualifiers? Can't remember, but there must have been.Italy pipped England on goal difference to qualify for 1978, but not
quite the same thing as the teams were dead level on GD after England
beat Italy 2-0, but Italy still had a match left against Luxembourg, and
any win (they did win 3-0) would have qualified them. The whole thing
came down, really, to England only managing to beat Finland 2-1 at
Wembley, whereas Italy thrashed the Finns 6-1. How very un-Italian of
them.
Most of these games or on for free on UEFA TV, at least here on the iceberg.
TBH far more interesting games on tonight, like Mexico vs the walking dead and Kanada v Kosta Rica. Kanada then play Mexico on Wednesday.

More importantly it is 2 degrees C, 3 hours to the north of us in
Edmonton (effects of Chinooks rarely reach that far North and even then
only mildly). Will that affect the Costa Ricans ? I doubt it. Will
the artificial surface affect them? Also doubtful as so many of them

A large win over the Faroes would have forced the Swiss to win the last match. Instead, it ended 2-1, and Switzerland advanced to the next round with two draws.
Hmmm... it looks as if in 2006 the first tiebreaker was H2H (Croatia won its group despite having a worst GD than Sweden) but away goals didn't play a role. So Israel did have a path to qualification if they could have beaten the Faroes by a large enough margin.

Also, none of the Ivorian players (Kessie, Haller, Cornet, Pepe,
Bailly, Aurier...)They came close to equalizing in the dying minutes
against Cameroon, but no luck.

Plot twist. DRC coach (Hector Cuper of Valencia and Inter's 5 maggio fame) apparently used four slots to make substitutions, in violation of FIFA rules. Automatic 3-0 win to Benin?

After we've all had a good laugh at Hector Cuper, it's fair to say that this "5 subs in three slots" rule is massively confusing, and a mixup was bound to happen
sooner or later...
Yeah, no. It's true that Roma last season and Wolfsburg this year screwed up regarding
extra subs in extra time in cup competitions, but counting to three slots shouldn't be too
hard. I find it a bit sad that it's always CAF that has this kind of stories - there's been no
qualification campaign without a certain number of matches being replayed or their
results changed around.
I haven't seen any follow-up on this, so maybe Congo is going to be OK?
In the meanwhile, Nigeria and Algeria secure passage to the next round, both hanging on to home draws against their direct opponents.

I also quite like that Little Denmark ruined Big Denmark's perfect
defensive record in the 89th minute.
