Oh my goodness you are right, for some reason I got mixed up in my head  , I wouldn't expect Brazil to throw the game, Tite put out the starters in a brutal game in bolivia and sees this game as a warm up for the World Cup. Brazil isn't gonna throw it even tho they should, if it was reversed Argentina would.
Lots of guys in the Brazil team still fighting for places as well.

I'd love to. I'd bench Modric and all the little super star Champions League player who ####s the bed while playing for the Vatrini. There's plenty of hungry young Croatians who would bleed to play with the checkboard kits on; let them show the crusty old ####s how it's done

I did some rudimentary math and I don't think Wales or Croatia can get in with a draw. They would be the worst 2nd place team.
If both both Wales/Ireland or Ukraine/Croatia don't end in a draw, Slovakia is out (doesn't matter who wins)
If either games end in a draw, both teams of that drawn game are out.
IF both games end in a draw Croatia is probably out but it'll come down how large the draw is.
If for example Croatia draws 2-2 and Wales draws 1-1 they are tied.
It would come down to fair play points!

Wales playing like the team that needs the win.
Silly rule having the yellow cards carry over into the playoffs.
COYBIG!

No goals across the continent so far through 30 minutes.

Croatia need to score a goal to have any chance.
0-0 draw won't do it

they are obviously not taking into account that the worst 2nd place team is eliminated. As it stands right now in the 60th minute, Croatia is eliminated.

Italy look terrible. If they draw or lose this game, they may not be seeded for the playoff draw (need to crunch the numbers)
and they will probably fire the manager for those playoffs.

Well job done, now gotta hope for a good draw. Meyler was brilliant tonight, by far Ireland's best player, but that late yellow hurts with him out the first leg.

I hope they fire him anyways, just no cutting edge in all the qualifiers
Would love to see Ancelotti for the playoffs and then WC if they were to qualify

I still can't believe the enormity of Iceland qualifying for the World cup. A record set for the smallest nation to qualify that is unlikely to ever be broken.

Portugal/Switzerland
Italy
Croatia
Northern Ireland

Sweden
Denmark
Ireland
Greece
Is Ireland vs N. Ireland even allowed?

Switzerland can go 9-1 in qualifying and still miss the World Cup. Insanity.
