How screwed are they if they come in second in the group behind Belgium I'm not familiar with euro wcq
If you win the group you go right? But what happens to second place

Second place goes to a playoff game versus another second place team from the other groups. They're split into two pots of 4 teams each and your FIFA ranking determines whether you are in Pot 1 or Pot 2. So they won't play against any of the elite second place teams cause they should be in Pot 1. Also, there's 9 groups so the worst second place team (in terms of points accrued) doesn't go to the playoff

Y'all are forgetting that we were one terrible Goodson soft foul in the box away from beating the ruskies.

These teams are minnows. Just because they're better than Chinese Taipei and other sheppard teams around the world doesn't mean that they won't annually find themselves near the bottom of whatever group they're drawn in.

Side question, when does JK release the roster for the game?

This is what Ives thinks. I just don't see Dempsey getting called up, all things considered.

PROJECTED USMNT ROSTER vs. BOSNIA

GOALKEEPERS- Tim Howard, Brad Guzan, Cody Cropper

DEFENDERS- Timmy Chandler, Michael Parkhurst, Fabian Johnson, DaMarcus Beasley, Matt Besler, Clarence Goodson, Geoff Cameron, John Anthony Brooks

Wales would probably finish 3rd in CONCACAF qualifying

They could trot out a starting 11 featuring 9 or 10 premier leaguers. with difference makers like Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale, Craig Bellamy.

World Beaters, no. Minnows, definitely not.

Didn't we already confirm a Bobby Wood call up?

Saying it more doesn't make it true.

All three of those teams have multiple players in good leagues throughout the world.

The teams aren't great, but they aren't exactly terrible, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to nick points (or even win) at home against a "good" team now and again.

San Marino is a minnow. Andorra is a minnow. Luxembourg is a minnow.

Apparently JAB was also invited to a U-21 friendly next week for Germany also, he hasn't made a decision yet.

Without looking it up, name one player from Estonia's current squad.

How bout Macedonia's? (I can only think of one)

We have a set date on when the roster is announced?

Game is less than a week from now.

I thought I read either Saturday or Sunday. Unless it was supposed to be last Saturday or Sunday, in which case I have no idea.
