Your point would be valid if there were no more group games to play and they knew what it took to advance.



It's called playing the percentages big dawg. They just have to finish in the top 4 of the 3rd place standings and already place ahead of Albania.

i love steve mcmanaman not being able to hide his disappointment.


By far the most entertaining part of watching England these past three matches has been his exasperated groans of "NooOOOOoooooOO!" every time England overhits a cross into the box

I'd say Slovakia pretty solidly in, Albania definitely nervous AF. How Group C finishes will definitely clear up the picture.

4 of the 15 group combinations for third-place finishers are out of contention. Only 1 of the 11 remaining does NOT include Group B (Slovakia).

Yet the 3rd place teams in all the other groups except the Czech's are primed to finish ahead of them. And if they beat the Turks they will be good.

If Northern Ireland get a point off Germany then Slovakia and Albania are fricked.

With the Czech's playing Turkey
Sweden being capable of beating Belgium
Portugal with 2 points having Hungary left

4 points with a goal difference of 0 gives you basically no chance of advancing.


Or 100%

That hardly means they are "primed" to finish ahead of Slovakia

Well if you been watching Germany hasn't been great and Northern Ireland should have 4 points to be honest.

Now watch them get smashed 3-0

As a data analyst who enjoys numbers way too much, I praise you for posting that chart (and finding it).
