    So a draw the best outcome for us? same kickoff time as us on Friday I think. A 0-0 and a 10-0 win for us would be ideal :D

    I'd love a draw, but I wouldnt be too upset if Austria won.

    If it comes down to us away to them in September, having beaten/drawn against Sweden at home the previous week I feel we could do them.

    Yeah thinking the same myself, there results at home so far have been impressive, by the time we play them hopefully they won't be as good or catch them on an off day!

    We need to get 6 points from 2 games in September. Nothing less.

    Can we do it? Unlikely as we don't have that killer instinct and can't remember us getting 2 big results in a row(wins).

    If we get 12 points from remaining 4 games think we will be good for playoff.

    We haven't done it in 12 years (beat a contender for 1st/2nd spot in a group) so I have major doubts aboout us doing it now.

    Nonetheless, it does seems like winning twice will likely be essential, not only for our top 2 prospects but for any chance of being of not being one of the worse runners-up and hence being eliminated.

    That's why conceding in last minute was huge blow. Those 2 extra points would have made such a difference to making sure we don't lose out.

    Still in our hands I guess but that Austria goal could come back to bite us hard.

    Draw I suppose. Though since we have Sweden at home to come not the end of the world if they win.

    EDIT: Actually on second thought after looking again I would really rather they draw.

    I think the team is believing and we haven't looked this strong in a long time. We can win both games but they could also be draws.

    We need to win both games in September to be safe of not losing out as worst placed team. 4 points minimum and even at that we may need draw in Germany.
