Who realistically wouldn't take a play off???? I think it's fairly obviously we would all settle for 3rd place at this stage.

To be honest, I'm not sure we'd cope that well with the pressure either ie. having to beat Poland and them coming here knowing a win would send them straight through to the finals. I do think Scotland are up against it here. If the Poles score first, it's surely game over.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Scotland win. We will find it tough in the last two games but I wouldn't rule out drawing both.
Lewandowski is on super form at the moment so a few goals against Scotland might get the Poland win and guarantee us at least a playoff spot.
If we beat both Germany and Poland we finish 2nd, even if Poland beat Scotland. Unlikely but possible. Hopefully at the very least when the final whistle goes in Warsaw we have secured a playoff spot. |

Lewondowski is untouchable at the moment. But wont have the same service he gets with FCB. But it will give the players around him a hugh confidence boost.
From the scots side I doubt they have any interest in a draw. They'll go all out for a win but will end up losing. The poles will set them selves up to hit them on the break knowing they're all but qualified and the scots will be desperate |

Any Scots I've talked to are convinced they'll fold under the pressure. It'll be a nervy crowd with an expectancy of failure, as far as I can see. They're probably right - this is a team who have lost two on the bounce. Morale in the camp can't be that high |

Its a real tough one for the scots this one- say its 1-1 with 5 mins d go and we are 2-0 down to germany. What do they do? A draw isnt really enough but gives them a chance going into the last game, a defeat and their gone so its a real tough one.

I think the svots will win.
But i don't get this optimism of us getting 2nd place. Correct me if I'm wrong but the last team we beat competitively ranked above us was 14years ago against the dutch so what makes people think we will do it now away from home when we couldn't do it against the scots at home who were terroble imo. |

The fact the jocks have to win is going to upset them . It will open them up and play into the hands of the poles . Scotland are like us in that they struggle when they have to win .

Reckon this is our best chance of getting 3rd place, Poles beating Scotland here
Can't see us getting anything in our remaining 2 games sadly |

Germans only need a point. Agreed that we need Poland to do us a favour because if they lose in Glasgow then we havent a hope in hell's chance in Warsaw. |

You speak for everyone do you? Was only putting my opinion out there that i would take a play off now, poland beating scotland and us losing to germany. I would take that- it means the poland games a dead rubber but id take it.

I'm surprised at all the pessimism surrounding our last two games. We haven't been winning big matches but we certainly have been losing them either and we concede very few goals. Why would we lose two games in a row when we have been very solid and consistent throughout the qualifiers?

No I don't but its pretty obvious everyone would take third place if it was handed to us. |

There are some on this thread looking for 2 wins to go to france automatically. They might disagree with you there and just take a chance. Me i would accept the play off now as ive already said.

Given our situation before Scotland lost to Georgia, then yes 3rd place at the moment looks like an undeserved miracle. And yes you are more than likely correct that 3rd is the very very best we can hope for. But do we have to be so real all the time?? Can we not just dream? I personally am hopeful of getting second place in the group. it would require Scotland beating Poland and us drawing with Germany and also beating Poland. Yes it is unlikely, but isn't that what support is?? Believing anyway?? Given we have been singing a song for 25 years containing the line "And we really shake them up, when we win the world cup"...should we stop singing that because realistically it is never going to happen?
