How are the group positions worked out if two teams finish on the same points?
Head-to-head or goal difference?
There's a distinct chance Wales and Slovakia could both finish on 3 points... |  | | |  |

If Wales and Slovakia finish on 3pts I think Wales go through as we beat them. |  |

That's good then. I trust Wales to get something against the Russians, but if we do finish on 3 points we have a good chance of going through. | | | |

If goal difference is the same it goes onto goals scored i believe. If it is the same then it goes on to head to head. |  |

I though it only went to the head to head if the goal difference was the same too. | | | |

In that case, if we do lose to Russia we want Slovak to lose heavier to Ingerlund. | | | |

No ,head to head first. |  |

so if we loose to Russia and England beat Slovakia by the same amount we'll finish third? Although to be honest, if we cannot at least draw with Russia we don't really deserve to go through.
Worst case scenario would be England and Slovakia draw and us lose to Russia and we'd come fourth. |  | | |

If we finish on 3 points then Russia will.be on 4. So a best third place is our only chance.
Not sure if 3 will be enough |  |

Yeah, we could go through as one of the best third places teams with 3 pts & -1 but it would be very tight. |  | | |

OK I see 3 very different answers so far.
I'd put the total over/under at 4.5 for the thread. |  |

Borojack's post doesn't contradict anything.
It's what happens IF we finish third. Not if we finish on 3 pts. | |

Yes basically we need all the top sides to batter the lower ranked sides.
Just in case we do finish 3rd.
Its a crazy qualifying system though playing 36 games to eliminate just 8 sides. | |

So as mentioned in another thread, NIR/UKR needs to stay just as it is. | |

Yes a draw would be ideal but failing that a NI win as they play Germany last game.
Then a nice big win for Germany. | |

That second NI goal could end up f***ing us good and proper. Lets hope Germany lose to Poland and have something to play for. |  |

Indeed, and Fabianski is in the goal tonight.
If Poland does manage to pull off the upset somehow, an Ireland win over Germany would then be just as good as the other way around. | |

But then a draw would put them both on 4 and that's no good! Working out these permutations over the next few days is going to be a nightmare. | | | |

if we finish 3rd, what works against us is that 4 of the other groups play their last games after us.
could end up with a west Germany v Austria 1982 scenario to send us out. | |

If we are relying on the world Champions losing then we are really fooked.
They wiĺl want to take some momentum into the knockout stages so cant see them taking it too easy against the Irish. | |

Not losing, but wrecking the NI goal difference. If, God forbid we lose to Russia by a goal, NI need to lose by two nil. | |
