i still think Scotland gonna get through

Group A - done
Group B - done
Group C - Scotland have -3 GD
Group D - a Paraguay win by no more than 3, a draw or Australia win by just 1 goal, puts them both above Scotland.
Group E - Scotland need Germany and Ivory Coast to win (or 2 draws)
Group F - if Sweden don't lose by more than 3 they will be above Scotland
Group G - Belgium should beat NZ, which means they need Egypt to beat Iran.
Group H - If Spain beat Uruguay, then 3rd in this group cannot finish above Scotland.
Group I - a Senegal win v Iraq puts them above Scotland
Group J - a draw, Austria win by no more than 1 goal, or Algeria win by no more than 3 puts them above Scotland.
Group K - a Congo win v Uzbekistan puts them above Scotland
Group L - a Croatia win or draw and any 3rd placed side is above Scotland.

I'd say that Groups E & H are probably the most likely to go in their favour.
F, I, K & L seem unlikely to go their way.

Which basically means they are quite likely praying for 2 groups out of D, G & J to go their way.

Group E goes against Scotland, which was one of their best hopes. They now need a highly improbable 4 of the 6 remaining groups to go their way. Looking at the below, i think 2 could go their way at best.

Update:

Group A - done
Group B - done
Group C - Scotland have -3 GD
Group D - done
Group E - done
Group F - done
Group G - Belgium should beat NZ, which means they need Egypt to beat Iran.
Group H - If Spain beat Uruguay, then 3rd in this group cannot finish above Scotland.
Group I - a Senegal win v Iraq puts them above Scotland
Group J - a draw, Austria win by no more than 1 goal, or Algeria win by no more than 3 puts them above Scotland.
Group K - a Congo win v Uzbekistan puts them above Scotland
Group L - a Croatia win or draw and any 3rd placed side is above Scotland.

If we have to play Ecuador, that's gonna be tough as the crowd seems 80% Ecuadorian 😳

Big Ecuadorian population in that part of NJ.

Sweden, Ecuador and Bosnia all confirmed qualified in third place so far. Two because there are 4 teams who've finished third with a worse record and one because the Senegal-Iraq game has to produce a third placed side with either 3 points or 1.

They’ve overachieved twice already by qualifying for the WCF and by winning a game. They should hold out for the third time and sneaking into that last spot.

Just watching the highlights from the Germany game and don't know if we are making it up as we go along now. Is a boot at head height that makes contact with the players head not classed as a high boot anymore.
