This is applicable to any team in the same positon, but isn't it possible that if Ireland have a shocking run in the euro qualifiers and and are mathematically not able to qualify via the normal route - and are then hoping that a particular team in their group qualifys automatically ahead of another in order to boost or help their chances of getting a playoff spot? ie a dead rubber match for Ireland against a team might actually benefit Ireland for Ireland to lose.

Germany winning 2-0 which is good means they wouldn't be 2nd seeds

Yep, if they win tomorrow they'd go ahead of Croatia though which wouldn't be a great potential second seed

germany into pot 1 is great news.

We need a pot 2 team who we might be able to hold out against for 90 minutes with our park the bus style.

As bad as we are, i wouldnt rule out a 0-0 against Bosnia, Ukraine or even Denmark if Eriksen is injured. 

All the best teams are currently in Pot 1.

I dont think Poland will beat Portugal tomorrow so the pots are actually set to line up exactly as they shud*


* with the exception of ROI who will be in Pot 3 and are a lower pot 4 team at best.

Germans ended up drawing 2-2

Poland draw tomorrow they'll be seeded 1st (I think)

France and Germany as a draw would be fair dues for the FAI and MON losing our status as second seeds.

The Jocks guaranteed a euro playoff with tonights win....what is the point exactly of these qualifiers? seems everyone will be in at least a playoff

Not possible to get a lot of combinations as only 2 host nation's can be in 1 group. So as hosts ourselves if we get Germany, we can't get another host nation (England, Italy,Spain etc.)...

Thought France had a game as well in the Euros do they not? So a France, Germany Ireland group is possible LOL

Semi final to reach a playoff...playoff semis and finals are set for March 2020 in venues to be decided. A nice little spring break.

The playoffs are massive as every team taking part in them won't have qualified through the regular qualifying groups. So League C (Scotland's section) and League D, it is hugely important for those teams that have guaranteed their playoff places already. They now have that definite fall back and the majority if not all of them will need it.

The teams in League B like ourselves should make it by purely default as the guaranteed sides and more in our section will hopefully qualify automatically. We aren't 100 percent certain to make those playoffs though, so nothing is in our hands in that regard.

Massive result for the Scots tonight.

Nope France aren't hosting any games

Worst case scenario
France
Germany
Us
Georgia
Macedonia/Kosovo
Latvia

Best case
Poland
Czech Republic
Us
Estonia
Gilbratar
Malta/San Marino

If we were an even half capable side, that best case scenario group we could center through to the Euros imo.

16 very average teams will get a playoff semi in March 2020 - what’s not to like.
