Do you think we will make it to the World Cup 2022 ?

Shhh let’s not mention that we were eliminated in 2010 quals because we were embarrassed by Saudi Arabia in Tehran and couldn’t score against North Korea. 5 moft points down the drain...

I think its also worth mentioning that the 2010 side had maybe 2 Legionaries who were bench warming in bottom table team in Europe.

Our current TM can play a full 11 man legionnaire side. 3 players who have been top scorers in their respective leagues, 4-5 players that play in CL and Europa leagues.

Comparing 2010 TM to 2021 TM is apples to oranges.

And let's not forget that we almost got eliminated in the first round of 2006 WCQ by Jordan and Qatar

But we didnt, which proves the point, that we dont neccesarily crumble under pressure. Especially against teams weaker than us, which Bahrain and Iraq with all due respect is. If we were playing against teams better than us, i Wouldnt have had hope, because we rarely ever pull an upset. But against Those two teams, it isnt impossible. We came back from the dead in 2006 and 2014. We Can do it again

[rdwrrr]

I have fate

I know we will win all remaining games.

No questions what so ever.

As matter of a fact, all opponents will ware yellow shorts for their games, to hide the stain from them peeing in their pants.

[Keano]

Well that is true. But dont forget the qualifiers for 2014. We had to win our last 3 games and we did. The last one in Korea. So dont loose hope. 4 points against Bahrain and Iraq is not impossible

Unfortunately I dread that we will stumble @ the last hurdle/last game ..!
We just don’t fair well in stressful & must win games/situations ..!
Hopefully we do well enough to qualify still as one of best 3rd place finishers into next round though ..!?

[Kian H]

4 Wins and we are 100 procent through. But less could be enough. I have looked at all the other groups, and we will probably be among the Best second place teams, if we win 3 games and draw 1.

Basically we have to beat Hong Kong and Cambodia. Thats the first step
Then we meat Bahrain. Is we lose that one, we are out. If we win, we are garanteed atleast second spot. At that time, we Can look at the other groups, and see how many points we need against Iraq. I Think one point should be enough, but in some cases we Can lose, and still go through. But it depends on other results in the other groups.

If we only draw with Bahrain, then we have to beat Iraq. And since Iraq probably Will beat Hong Kong and Cambodia before their match against us, they Will already be through to the next round. So they have nothing to play for.

So all in all, its possible for us to qualify. We “just” need 4 points against Iraq and Bahrain, which should be possible. And if we cant get that, do we even deserve to qualify? I cant wait

We have 4 games left and if we win all of them, we will finish 1st for sure.

Ok good to know.

Forgive me ive really been out of the loop the past yr due to everything happening in the world but is it the case that even if we win all of our remaining games it wont be enough ? We need to get help along the way ?

Just curious if we won the remaining games why wouldn't it be enough?

Yes you’re right. And it’s the perfect excuse for them to use, even if full stadiums would be allowed by then.

It is a shame really if we can’t have our fans for these two do or die games. They are really intimidating for opponents and a huge boost for us.

They can do it.

They have much harder games to play next round and its time our boys show what they are made of. I think Skocic can fix and avoid Wilmots errors

[peiman92]

You have to throw Corona on top of that.
I don't see full stadiums being allowed even as late as November especially if there is a 2nd wave
